The Managerial Merry Go Round™

[Collage]

I love Bielsa but this season has been a disaster. Interesting to see where he goes next.

[Menace]

Daniel James for £28M deserved the sack alone

[Ronaldo]

He’s done a great job there overall. Surprised. 

[Stifler]

They have an average Championship squad aside from a couple of players. He has had them outperforming beyond their ability.

[buzz]

Apparently he turned down Harry Winks and van de Beek in Jan, both of whom were keen on moves - mad when you think they're now relying on Adam Forshaw. 

 

Do think he'd have turned it around with returning Phillips/Bamford though. 

[Scotty66]

Think they might actually improve now. He's defensive tactics have always been his weak point. 

[Ketsbaia]

Think they're going down either way. Only Brentford can stop it.

[TRon]

Still maintain there was nothing wrong with his methods, just they needed better players to attack all out at this level. Leeds aren't going to get any better with that decision in the long term.

So is this Ted Lasso the guy to keep Leeds up

[Wolfcastle]

Spanner in the works. Without change was confident of finishing above them now.

No logic of course, just new manager bounce possibilities.

[elbee909]

Step up Steve Bruce, he's done all he can at West Brom

[SiLvOR]

Leeds were likely fucked if he had stayed. Think whatever happens to them, we should be all in for Raphina in the summer.

He's off to Bayern in the summer.

Raphina and Kalvin.

Oh, is he? Bollocks

[Dancing Brave]

That interpreter will be looking for a new job as well.

Apparently, he's been linked with them all season.  Probably some arrangement done like with Sane.

[McDog]

Raphina has been a bit off form but he's got great talent for sure. Played fantastic earlier in the year, at least in the matches I watched.

I'll be interested to see if a new manager can come in and make that team look better mind. I don't think they have a great squad, and just playing more defensively isn't going to solve their goal scoring problem. It might be enough for this season, but I still think longer term they will become a poorer team.

[Guest neesy111]

I'm unconvinced that Leeds were buying the players Bielsa wanted.  They have a bit of structure above him and Daniel James signing was strange all round.

He's chased Dan James for years though hasn't he

[Manxst]

Just read that Bielsa is the 4th highest paid manager in the league on £8m p/a. Fucking hell.

Nah. They wanted him to replace Coman but he’s signed a new contract now.

His coaching staff are directly paid by Bielsa himself rather than being employees of Leeds though, so they're included in that figure.
