Sheff Utd and Huddersfield both had great first seasons ... (is a comparison which i'm sure has never been made before).
I do just think they are reliant on a very few key players. Key injuries will do for them. Bamford will return to the mean. Nullify Phillips and they really don't have...
We do. Of course we do
But on here, and in the Amex the weighting is about ....
5% Deluded / 95% realistic
With Leeds fans it's a bit more like ....
5% realistic / 45% deluded / 25% on a totally different planet / 25% Stark raving, pencils up the nose and pants on the head, weapons grade...

There's a better than evens chance that the same Leeds fans hailing him as the messiah are going to be calling for his head as they sit in the relegation zone with a thumping great goals against column this winter. We'll see
One thing I do believe is that we'll find out whether Bielsa has the tactical ability to match his reputation, or whether it's all media bluster.
I say that because, I'm looking at the Leeds starting XI and thinking it looks like PL relegation fodder.
Maybe, he is a managerial genius, (who's...
I'm with you mate, I'd be surprised if they bid. Even if they do, it might be just to convince their supporters they tried.
More than at the back, they're going to need something better than Bamford up front ... and strikers cost
And of course, it's not just gambling game he's in, though that gets all the attention. He's made just as much of his fortune in property .... and that involves playing the long game
