Hopefully he is sufficiently fired up to see through the job that he has started.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but when he's walked before isn't that usually because he doesn't feel he can accomplish anything further on the pitch?

I really hope he sticks around at Leeds.

He may not be allowed to keep quiet if it comes to it

Bielsa as long as possible and Corberan to take over when he does move on would be ideal

I desperately want to see what he can do with the money we'd get from promotion.

Lampard must be asked about this.
You won't find Lampard hiding in baskets I'm sure. He wouldn't get in one :-D ...too fat .

That would all depend on AR giving him some. I hope he doesn't think Leeds will get by on the cheap.

I see Jenas, Pearce, Collymore, Henry Winter, Matt Law, Keown must have missed this news as nothing has been said or demanded by them. :duno:
Actually Collymore has been at it again in a column he writes for one of the Sunday rags .

I think he actually believes the rubbish he spouts.

Stan was criticising Pep once, Pep was asked about it in Spanish.

Tbf what Stan said is a common criticsm of Bielsa, unfortunately those who do it tend to know next to nothing about MB.

He turned down the Argentina job in 2016.

He was chased by Inter for years in early 2010s.

Turned down Real Madrid in 2004.

And he was the favourite for the Barcelona job after Pep left and was Lionel Messi choice. Had he been more flexible he could have had that to.

Only pundits with no clue about his background spout the nonsense about big clubs.

Norwich City confirm their involvement in collective 'Spygate' complaint against Leeds United and Marcelo Bielsa

Norwich City, one of the clubs vying with Leeds United for the Championship title, revealed today that they are among the sides who have written to the EFL demanding a full investigation into Marcelo Bielsa and the ‘Spygate’ controversy.

Norwich moved to confirm publicly that they were involved in a collective complaint made to the EFL on the back of an admission by Bielsa that he had sent staff to secretly watch every team in the division train this season.

Well of course they were.

If we get anything more than a fine and maybe a touchline ban then I suspect the league will find themselves in court...

He is a brilliant tactician.....but he is so naive at PR. This press conference should never have been allowed to go ahead. There will be repercussions, of which I know not.

I'm guessing a fine and possible ban but no points deductions. AR will be waiting with his lawyers if points deductions.

I'm not sure why they would publicly announce this a week before we play them. It will just give us extra motivation.

Frank is being found out as a hypocrite more and more by the day, but it's not a surprise to us really is it?

That's what he should but won't do, if he feels so strongly about it.
