Yeah, I mean maybe they are skint but it seems like arrogance from Bielsa to say "my method is so good players are a minor factor".. I'm a Bielsa fan but if they go down again he has to cop a lot of the blame.
I think they are mindful of spending money they haven't got, which is what caused them to be in the wilderness for so long.
Yes, for sure. But if they go down that will cost them much more than buying a few players as cover.
Wow !!
Bielsa was the messiah, he returned Leeds to the promised land.
The last month or so have been a disaster, injuries have taken it's toll, but there's been talk that he lost a few of the players.
I think that game style is very taxing on the players.. if you are working really hard to play that style but the goals against keep flying in you'd lose faith quickly.
Woke up listening to the BBC around 3am and the League final between Liverpool and Chelsea was about to start.... took me half an hour to realise it was on Kayo.
I'm not a big follower of the world game but as a contest it was a cracker.
For those that don't wanna know the result. ... read no more!
Some commentators were calling it the best nil all match after extra time ever!
Chelsea substituted their keeper with a minute to go as the one they brought on was the gun penalty saver...Penalties went 10 all and it was left to the keepers to take their shots.....The Liverpool keeper absolutely smashed it past the his counterpart.... and consequently the Chelsea gun put it over the top!
Liverpool 11 to 10

The manager’s sacking is heartbreaking because he energised the club and reminded a city what football is really all about

Did read some analysis out of the UK that suggested that if Beilsa stayed they were 50/50 of staying up or going down. By changing managers they were probably a 75% chance of going down.
Have read that he has a similar philosophy and game style to Beilsa, but maybe a slightly milder form.
Had success in Austria, converting a side to this style. But that didn't translate into his time in Germany at a club that had a much different game style ingrained.
A bit like when Leeds hired Beilsa, a massive gamble that could go really right or really wrong. Won't be boring, that's for sure.
What went wrong for Jesse Marsch at RB Leipzig and is he a good fit to replace Marcelo Bielsa at Leeds? - Eurosport
With reports that Jesse Marsch is set to take over at Leeds United in place of Marcelo Bielsa, we take a look at what the American might bring to Elland Road.
www.eurosport.com
"The real issue with Marsch and Leipzig is really as simple as 'right manager wrong time'. Anyone replacing a manager as talented as Julian Nagelsmann was going to struggle and with no real leadership structure at Leipzig it was quickly clear that Marsch was a not fit with a playing squad that had moved away from press and more into possession."
I've been following Leeds United since I was a little boy, I'm devastated to see El Loco go, he was, and is, a great great man.
There are parallels in Richmond and Leeds...........going broke, sacking coaches, giving fans false hopes and then breaking their hearts.
Some words of wisdom from the great man.................“A man with new ideas is a madman, until his ideas triumph.”
It was new ideas that Dimma and the Chimp used to turn the Might Tigers around from being a basket case and into a powerhouse on the field.

Absolute scenes at Elland Road for Leed’s 95th minute winner. Don’t know how the thin orange line of stewards managed to hold the crowd back from the ground.
