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.

Black mailing their club into making irresponsible purchases in these Covid times?

I’d say very naughty boy (indeed).
