Liam was singing his praises after the playoff game. I saw Leeds play against Reading recently, they played lovely attacking football a ripped Reading to shreds. Not sure how that would equate if he had our players and level higher.

Our Liam on sky sports bigging him up saying what a great manager he is, playing exciting attacking football, bringing on the youth on a limited budget, etc, etc. Sound familiar?

Perhaps plan B is Bielsa.

Not for me.

The Leeds defending for the Villa equaliser at Elland Road the other week was very sloppy.
 






Leeds play brilliant attacking football so of course. Just let down tonight by Cooper having a mare

Took a youthful side to third in the table ...whereas Potter took his youthful side to mid table ..hmmm

Could you imagine Bielsa working alongside Ashworth .....nah

Was by far my top pick for England and I got laughed at on here. Would be similar for us but probably not a good fit even though he'd be successful. I can understand why, but it would be fun! He also wouldn't leave Leeds for us I reckon now.

He's hailed as a genius, and several other successful coaches use his system/approach. But hasn't he 'not quite worked out' at every single club he's been at? He can't deliver on his own system!? Plus, isn't there the fact that he doesn't want to learn English? I can't help but think that will make things a little more difficult for all involved.

Still, if it means we get some mental interviews and powerpoint slides, then I'm in.

My thoughts echo a lot of what other shave said he's a brilliant coach but far too temperamental for us. He's also known as a hard task master and expects a lot from his players.

Not keen on the story about him visiting Pochettino's house when the Spurs manager was a child asleep in bed, pulling back the bedsheets to see his thighs "to see if he could be a footballer"

Mmmkay.

No thanks only has a plan A for attack and is basically the reverse of CH but still with no plan B. Also would prefer someone who actually speaks our language (not meant in a racist way) but the manager should at least grasp the basics language of the country his team play in IMO
