Dirty Leeds...

[Gideon Gungeon]

that's not fair mate, that was cushion heed's job. obviously his ties to man u went against him. always been badly done to iirc, him and his poor mam (sort of)

 

[Comeback_Kenwyne]

Is he the guy who had Bilbao playing amazing footy a few years ago? Beat Man Utd away? If so how the fuck have they got him....CEO must have friends going back a long way which is all that counts - and lets face it, if he gets them up Leeds Utd are a big name in Europe still.

That's him.

 

[cbwhu]

his teams tend to run out of steam in the latter stages of seasons as he runs them so much

not sure how that will stand up in the championship which is more physically demanding than anywhere else he has been

 

[Comeback_Kenwyne]

He won't last as long as cloughie did

Just two days at Lazio!

Leeds are still a name in football, weather we like it or not. The reputation and potential of that club is massive.

I agree they are still a name.
Their potential is no more than it's ever been.
No matter their success still an inability to attract regular 40,000 plus crowds.

 

[Big_Bad_Billy]

Leeds are a massive club. Bigger than Sunderland, Portsmouth, Newcastle etc etc. The list goes on. Outside United, City, Arsenal, Chelsea, Spurs, Liverpool, then Leeds are the 7th biggest club in UK. Yes, bigger than Everton and Villa too.

 

[SAFC_Jack]

Will last one game.

 

[bomber]

if leeds are 10% as good as that bilbao team they will get up as champions

 

[jayjaysafc]

What I find most unbelievable is that there are people who don't know who he is.

I don't, why would I?

 

[HoxtonMackem]

It'll be another 6 week episode like Clough

 

[Notorious Decka]

He'll be out of the door before Christmas.

 

[thecloughywobble]

I think it's great that he's going to be in England: a truly innovative manager & thinker, copied by many others. Intriguing that he's gone to Leeds. I'll be taking note as the season progresses. Anything could happen, ha ha.

 

[KJNMackem]

Leeds and Bielsa, what could possibly go wrong.

I'll give it max six months.

 

[White city Boy]

Scientists have predicted that by the year 2025 no-one will be more than 12 feet away from a former Leeds United manager.

 

[Bears Beets]

I’m a very big fan of his tactics however I think he’ll be gone by January.

 

[Phil_Harmonic]

Fat Alan Brazil didn't know who he is when he announced it on TalkSport

 

[AC Mack]

I don't, why would I?

Because he's one of the most famous coaches worldwide.

 

[Billy Batts]

Thought he'd be a class manager for us years ago.

 

[jayjaysafc]

Because he's one of the most famous coaches worldwide.

Sorry still never heard of him, then again I pay little attention to football outside the UK. There's enough to keep me occupied with SAFC alone

 

[SAFC Wilks]

...appoint Marcelo Bielsa as their new manager?!

Leeds United: Marcelo Bielsa signs contract to become new manager

Genuine wtf moment this. How on earth have they attracted arguably the most influential coach of the modern game to f***ing Elland Road?

He's a bit temperamental like, so could easily blow up in their faces. But, I mean, a mind-boggling appointment. Would be buzzing if he showed up here, so in that sense: fair play to them.

Very impressive appointment that I am baffled the club have managed to make.

Much like our appointment of Jack Ross to be fair. Haway Jack
