TheAuthority Posted February 27, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted February 27, 2022 The genius of Bielsa, masterminding Leeds to 17th and then leaving so someone else can come in and take the flak if they get relegated. So, so brave. Gracias, Marcelo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 Its a pity they didnt wait another month or so and they could have brought in the English Bielsa before he went to West Brom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post villan-scott Posted February 27, 2022 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted February 27, 2022 (edited) Couple of texts from my Leeds supporting mate today. Virtuous. We aint like other clubs, it's more than the football supporting Leeds and marcelo changed that in ways that other football fans will never know. Sad man. Thing is mate sounds really cheesy but we are different to everyone else. And the last 4 years has been down to him. 16 years of utter dross and this bloke who noone really knows comes in and transforms everything gave leeds their soul back. Lifted an entire city not on the field but throughout communities in Leeds. Feels like it's kinda been taken away. For the fans it's not just about the football and we aint quick to jump on bandwagons we do things our way. Feels cheap. This is why the Leeds fan base is unpopular.

Wonder what part of "lifting the city" the trashing of the centre of it fell under. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Rev Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 It's a one club city, you tend to get that. They don't even really have a local rivalry, Leeds don't care about Bradford and Man Utd only really care about Leeds from kick off until the point when they are 2-0 up midway through the first half.

Popular Post Xela Posted February 27, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 27, 2022 First of all, I think Bielsa did a great job all things said. Getting them to 9th last year was some achievement. It's fallen apart this year as you can only get so much out of players like that. Majority of them are Championship quality. The thing that annoys me though, and its not Bielsa's fault, is the wankfest surrounding Leeds as a club and him as a manager. Completely over the top. Leeds have spent as long outside the top division as they have in it. They're not a special club. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it’s his community deeds that lifted the city and not the football, then they may as well keep him around. Get him a gig at the Salvation Army.
