Or just a very naughty boy (let’s get that out of the way from the start :smile:)

I am astounded that after two seasons in the Championship and promotion from a frankly average league last season that Leeds fans are so convinced that he is something really special.

Then I checked who has been managing them for the last 16 years and it all becomes clear as to why they are now creaming their pants over their manager :lolol:

Is there a decent one in there that you wish had managed the Albion?

Can we ban Bielsa & Leeds from being mentioned in thread titles? Similarly to how we did with The Complete And Utter Shyster?

I hate the fact that Leeds fans will open NSC and see multiple threads about them, Bielsa, White saga etc must be a real ego boost for the t**ts

Let 'em get on with whatever they do up there.

I for one am actually interested in why they are SO convinced he will be setting the PL alive, I hope some of them post their thoughts on this thread :shrug:

As for an ego boost, I’m not sure they need one

Perhaps [MENTION=6886]Bozza[/MENTION] could work his magic and change Bielsa to bucketman?

I like him , mad as a hatter , knows the game inside out , pretends he can't speak english and most of all he developed one of our apparently bang average players into a 30 million pound commodity , what's not to like .

He's a very well-respected coach who tends to build terrific teams. However, he doesn't tend to stick around long and is quite unpredictable.

I'm interested to see what he does in the PL. I think they could do something similar to Sheff Utd and cause some upsets. It will take a while for teams to work out how to play against Leeds as Bielsa tends to play a sort of 3331 formation.

The concern for Leeds is, I would guess, that they don't have a very deep squad. However, I'd expect them to survive if Bielsa sticks around.

He is a great manager, showed in especially in Bilbao. Good enough to keep Leeds in the PL? Not sure anyone is.
