Marcelo bielsa isn’t what I would call a top European manager. He hasn’t done anything of note since his time in Bilbao back in 2012 yes I did check Wikipedia mainly because I hadn’t heard anything of his career.
A top European manager isn’t going to be decent ... theykre going to be excellent...
Really .... of course it would be a step down. We are relegation fodder ( as are seven or eight other teams tbh) so what top level manager is going to take that on. It takes just one bad job to screw a career...... if we had been comfortably mid table for the last couple of seasons then maybe...
