I’m really happy he’s not going to be your manager as a Leeds fan it would have really stung.
That said I think it’s foolish that you haven’t seen the bigger picture with Bielsa.
He’d have drilled your youth academy to within an inch of their lives, if you had been relegated with a caretaker in charge until the summer. Bielsa would have had no having a clear out of the deadwood in the first team. Your team would have been full of youth players saving you a fortune having to buy new players and eventually make you a fortune when they came to be sold.
He’d have set you up for the for future. But instead it’s short sighted thinking for the here and now with dyche.
That’s my biggest take away from Bielsa, he makes you think bigger picture and not just about the results.
He was loved even when losing because we saw the bigger picture in the way he worked .
You should have been prepared to take the short term pain for long term gain

Aside from FFP being lifted and being bought out by a Jeff Bezos Sheikh Mansour type, I can’t think of any change that would possibly outweigh the benefit of staying in the Premier League. So not for me.
Its a complete none starter.
I think there's every chance he's come across and said hit me up in June/July if you go down.

With the greatest of respects, it was fine for Leeds because you’d been out the Premier League 16 years or something. Everton cannot, CANNOT go down.
Money issues aside, would you have wanted a Bielsa or a Dyche to try and keep you up in 2004 (I think?).
But that’s my point in 2004 I wasn’t seeing the bigger picture. It was results nothing else. I was 17 then.
So dyche keeps you up, what then sack him when you’re 12th in the league playing hoofball with him. Then what you’re back on the merry go round.
I understand that financial hit of going down but if there’s one man I’d trust in getting promoted on virtually nothing giving you a total reset a way forward and making the most of what you have it’s Bielsa

I’d definitely have looked at the bigger picture a few years ago, say when we finished 11th and Martinez was sacked.
But I fear if we go down there won’t be a bigger picture. With the squad we have, and the financial mess we appear to be in, I worry we’d be down for a long, long time regardless of who was in charge.
Now really isn’t the time for the bigger picture.
Bielsa has 6mths molding the U21s in his own image.
If we go down many on big contracts will either jump or be pushed, then the kids will be well versed in the method he wants to play.
Dont ask me what happens if we stay up though...maybe the same.
It would be the sort of plan of action / decision that Sir Humphrey Appleton would call 'Courageous'
Perfect Storm?
or
Perfect Solution?
Who knows?
There must be places in Multi-verse where it will work - but not here - mores the pity

With how bad I think our finances would be in the championship, his plan for next season would be spot on. Use as much of the youth teams as he can to play his style and get what ever else suits from the market that we can afford
Sell all the existing playing staff
Personally think we are relegated regardless but it would be remiss of the club to take that stance given the small pts gap up the table
So whats the difference between hiring him now or hiring him in the summer with a full preseason? Getting the U21s in shape doesn't really help the full squad and we're 11m better.

Bielsa has won nothing but the Championship and his win % is average too. He was never the right man and not one for a relegation battle.

Can I move to one of those dimensions, please?
