mrmojorisin75 Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Quote The 64-year-old lives in a one-bedroom flat above a shop in Wetherby with minimal possessions. He walks to and from the training ground every day, politely refusing lifts from journalists and passersby when it rains. He is frequently pictured shopping in Morrisons, wandering the aisles in a club-branded tracksuit. Expand Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantail Breeze Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Leeds have got that, while we have Bruce who thinks we should only train twice a week and doesn’t believe in forrin tactics. All of that work and we’ll both finish below the top six because it’s impossible to ever beat them, I’m told. Jokes on them. Ha. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The man is glorified constantly no matter what happens. His team just got absolutely annihilated by one of their biggest rivals at the weekend and there wasn't a peep said about it. I just don't get it. Should note, again, I think Bielsa is a cool character like. Edited August 17, 2021 by Froggy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimbo Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 I swear since Leeds got promoted I’ve seen Bielsa getting criticised in the media more than our sad sack of a manager. Way way more in fact. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantail Breeze Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Although it’s still really early in the season, Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink appears to have done a good job at Burton so far. Took over on 1 January with Burton bottom of the table (eight points from safety), they survived last year and he’s started this season with three straight wins.
