Marcelo Bielsa

[davek]

I hope he's smuggled some Argentine players in those suitcases.

A madman. Appointed by a loon. Watched by nutcases.

Perfect recipe of madness.

All aboard the El Loco express!!!!

CHOOOOOOO CHOOOOOOOOO

Everyone is concerned that his style won’t suit us.

But.

He seems very meticulous. I think as soon as he was linked he’d have been studying the current squad, their strengths and weaknesses etc. If he signs and at the end of the window the list hasn’t changed, he’ll understand what he’s working with more than any other potential candidate.

That excites me.

Will kno most of this team because of last season, maybe big chance for garner in this team aswell as the sitting dm

That only happens if the club do not stick to their side of the deal. He isn't going to walk away for any other reason. Appointing him is make or break for the board. We need change, but it will never happen by playing the safe card, we are well beyond that, we need something extreme.

And do you find it difficult to believe that the club wouldn't stick to their side of the deal? That's what i'm saying really, people seem to be assuming that the board will just get in line and do whatever he asks them to do without any interference or incompetence etc, when all the evidence suggests that won't be the case. Thinking that a billionaire businessman is going to change the way he's evidently acted for a lifetime because a journeyman OAP manager threatens to walk out is naive in the extreme.

If there's a power struggle here then Bielsa won't win it. He might have done at Leeds because he was a massive name to be managing them considering where they were at the time and once he'd got them back up he was evidently deified. That isn't happening here. It's the same with the players. I can fully imagine that if you've previously been managed by Paul Heckingbottom, Steve Evans and Garry Monk then someone with the reputation of Bielsa coming in makes you sit up and take notice. I genuinely can't understand what it is that makes people think that players who've been working under some of the biggest names in football will suddenly find an extra gear to play for a manager who has never actually achieved anything of real note. It's not that he's not a good manager or a good coach or anything like that, but to me the potential cons seem to outweigh the potential pros quite significantly.

Have you noticed the height of the ceiling?

That is not Heathrow.

Have they faked the moon landing again?

 

[Spadge Vernacular]

Lots of bags , must have brought his grenades with him to clean house.

They're full of buckets.

 

[Neiler]

Id say Farhad and board and communications are in here looking at the reaction to each candidate.

I dont think you get on a 12 hour flight just to tell someone to get lost

Coincidentally Cahill is in London, not Qatar...

Pair of rats

Always finished a game at Mane Rd. with the obligatory 'legging' through Moss Side. Always had a soft spot for City back then. Summerbee, Bell and Lee were very good players and Summerbee was always great for banter with our fans. Anyway, Bielsa for me please, I don't think Dyche would keep us up anyway and I wouldn't want to be lumbered with him long term. Let Bielsa rip it up and start again for a couple of seasons and after he has sorted out the lethargic mess we currently are, he can retire and have a similar style young coach succeed him.

Remember getting legged by what felt like about 5 thousand city fans and with a handful of me mates early 90s - never ran so fast in me life.

Re your point on Bielsa, this is exactly why I’d go for him over Dyche - it’s different and exactly what we need as a club.

If we go down we go down swinging, instead of kitap1 boredom ale house grock footy, that we would probably cock up and go down anyway with this squad of cowards.

 

[Neiler]

Looks well

On his way to Spurs.

 

[Sweeneytoad]

Nobody brings that many bags for talks

literally the first three letters of your name should disprove that statement

 

[nsno-chris]

It’s probably a dossier on how crap our squad is
