Marcelo Bielsa

No he has to agree to our terms and our time frame, or we need to walk away.

The date is the 26 January and we need to sign 2 or 3 players. Without a manager that is absolutely not going to happen.
I'd imagine the deadline is today or tomorrow, and if they can't agree it would probably be quite quick and easy to get Dyche in
 
Hi lads. Leeds fan here.

Let me tell you all about Bielsa. Or ‘Marcelo’ as we affectionately call him.

If you were to hire him, you’d be getting much more than a manager.
He also likes to clean the bogs and cut the grass and paint the lines on the pitch on his days off.

Look after him lads, always liked your lot and look out for your results.

Good luck for the rest of the season (except when you play us of course).
 

It's not happening lads - we won't agree a deal with one of the fussiest, details-obsessed managers in the world inside 2 days; we certainly won't be able to get the 4 in through the door that he seems to want, nor the 3 out that such acquisitions will require given the financial position inside the rest of January. Not to mention the exorbitant wage the papers are suggesting he wants.

Massive shame really, because if we'd have sacked Lampard after Southampton, I'd have said it was actually happening... oh well
 
He has to come in on our terms. If he doesn't agree to them, then move on. The most important thing is new signings and no sensible player is signing for a club who can't even find a manager.

The longer it goes on surely the more likely it’s him? If we were miles apart you’d like to think we’d have walked away and the media would be breaking news about Hasenhuttl or Dyche. Sounds like we’re still working on a deal but who knows with Everton

We needed to 2 or 3 players at the start of the window. If we sell Gordon and Onana we would need about 5 new players. We are half way through the season if we got recruitment right we could have a decent second half and stay up. I just can’t see it tho this club has no plan they really don’t no what they are doing.

We shouldn't even be talking to him at this point in the season, it's absolute madness.
If we were interested in him we could have brought him in back in November.
We can pretend to be in charge here in negotiations but we simply are not, it's hilarious that we're even wasting time with Bielsa, considering how we know that our board will never relinquish control.
The clowns need to just hire Dyche already and hope for the best.
And if they are *serious* about Bielsa, go back for him at the end of the season ready to begin actual long term football development.
 
This appointment would be devoid of any sense.

Not the time. Too much change in playstyle with players that are totally unsuitable.

If Gordon is going along with Onana and we get to last minute purchase 3-4 players to fit the system then maybe.

But still. I don't know. It seems reckless....
