Why isn't Ayling worth £50m yet?

Jesse Marsch is the likely replacement.

American coach, very good record in the States, mixed bag in Europe, although pretty impressive at RB Salzburg

Sacked from last job with RB Leipzig.

Record of 7 wins 4 draws and 6 defeats.

Bit of a punt, in my opinion, could work, but, equally might not.

Gutted. I liked him. Entertaining side, easy to beat, what's not to like ?

Why didn't they sign Weghorst, instead of Burnley?

Why didn't we?

I guess there's only so long you can live on the glory of turning Ben White into the best defender in the whole wide world ever.

We drew 0-0 at home

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Let's not forget.

He turned a poor man's Sheffield Wednesday into a team that looked like it was looking for a promotion, and found a promotion.

Heaven knows they're miserable now.

I like to think by not ‘giving’ them White we have contributed in some way to their shocking defence.

They have never beaten us. We have beaten them regularly.

(well, I may have made some of that up, but I'm not one to let so-called facts spoil a good narrative).

To be fair, HWT, said they were easy to beat, which they are, to most teams.

Unfortunately, at the moment, we’re not most teams.

Marsching on together.

Anybody with 30 minutes with nothing to do, have look at Twitter, #bielsa.

It is hilarious, nauseating, baffling, and incomprehensible in equal measure.
Ive never witnessed more bullshit about how great a man is/was and how much he meant to a whole community since North Korean Great Leader Kim Jong il died.

Dirty Leeds fans have been completely hypnotised.

For example-

Marsching on together.

Bravo, Sir.
My hat is well and truly doffed.

Anyone know someone capable of sewing sides back together? I just want to know before heading of to view the comments from the Leeds Twitter collective.

People said the same about Hassenhuttl when Southampton lost everything there was to lose for about five or six months. They didnt sack him... they signed a couple of good players and now they're fine. Because football is played by football players.

Different sources say different things on whether Bielsa wanted his club to recruit players or not. They would probably have needed something but it didnt happen.

I dont think his tactics are wrong. They have good attacking players in Raphina, Harrison, Bamford (when fit) and James (when playing in his right position) and they have a pretty poor defense. So what do you do? Attack. Play to the strengths of the team. With the players they have, they are more likely to grab a 4-3 win than try to defend themselves to a 1-0 win somewhere.

So you would not protect the defence but instead would rely on the attack, which has scored 2 goals in 4 games, to outscore the opposition?

Wondering how many Leeds fans had Bielsa tattoos……

I suppose he does look like…………… nope they’re buggered
