Me too mate.

Those days at ER, singing his name, will stay with me forever.

I will go to the grave believing that we were blessed to have him. The football was breathtaking at times, probably the best I've seen in my almost 50 years of being a fan. But it was more than that, the man himself had an aura, something you couldn't quite put a name to. Because he believed, you believed, even when it went to rat s**t, but our belief was rewarded. In the most Leeds way, of course, we had to do it the hard way. I'm pissed, so I'm going to wrap this up. Marcelo made me fall in love with Leeds again, and I will always love him for that.

Marcelo is the reason why we have no empty blue seats at ER anymore, even if its cup or friendly games.

I had the game on mute.

Was Marcelo telling Tuchel to calm down in a touchline fracas?

Really wish he'd signed a multi year contract though... the season he was sacked was rumoured to be his last anyway. TBH, that was his and our mistake. His football never worked better than at Leeds, we were never better as a football team

3 seasons of pure beauty... A work of art

I don't think it would have been his last as he would only focus on non related football matters once the season was over. In my opinion that rumour was put out to take away the uproar over his sacking.

A shame Marcelo wasn't backed when required.

Was it ever explained why he wouldn't?

He did at Marseille and Lille (2 years).

Didn't at Bilbao

Did as National team manager.

Didn't here.

Marcelo made me fall in love with football again. I didn't bother with the likes of MoTD, and was losing interest in Leeds. Then Bielsa came in and like you say it wasn't just the football but the aura, the guy himself, his methods, his shyness, his sense of fairness, the way he made the players better people. For a while he made the fans better people until too many fans betrayed him and allowed the board to make the decision they did.

I wanted us to win promotion more for Bielsa than for myself.

What words from Marcelo still a hero in my eyes,as other people have said even when it went wrong I wanted him to work it out and stay .I really miss the man loved all the times we had with him at ER,such a honest reliable man ,brought the players back to earth and made everything a team effort.
I miss this man I would have him back in a heart beat .

I'd hate it if he came back to the PL.

For a number of reasons he will never rejoin us that's for sure.

Would like to see him back in England for his next project. Southampton?

Yeah, they need some help and Marcelo will make a great Director Of Espionage

MI5 are showing serious interest in recruiting MB

I think his time with us has been and gone tbh... We caught lightning in a bottle for three short years and it's a huge part why we're here now.

Lets mellow in the mists when we recall his reign. For me it's up there with the Don's team and time albeit so much shorter

His Uruguay team, nowhere near as good to watch as his Leeds team. We were his masterwork, oil on canvass.
