But I was waiting for the fart sound. I wasn't sure if you were being funny or offering a non sequitur, like a bowl of burning pencil erasers or something like that. I'm pretty low-brow. If it doesn't involve farts ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's spectacularly stupid. I've been wondering this, too. I can't tell if I just feel weirdly protective of Marsch or feel kind of like you, like there's no plan. Even though he really did no better than Gerrard, he did no worse, either, and I do think eventually things would have turned around with Leeds because they've been playing very well and getting close, but with Gerrard, there weren't really any glimmers of hope in the end, and it seemed like the team stopped playing for him. I don't know. I wonder how Bamford fits into all this, too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not Fergie/Wenger etc but Leeds fans bought into it so much it was scary Unless Bielsa comes back the next manager might get similar treatment 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mic09 Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 I do wonder why they worship Bielsa so much. They achieved nothing with him. It's literally like Villa getting a Dean Smith (a good manager at the time) statue. I don't understand it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting into the top flight for Leeds is a much bigger achievement (Villa have spent over twice as much time in the top flight overall so is more expected).

But getting to the top flight for a club like Leeds shouldn't be celebrated in murals and tattoos. It should be expected. (Unless they are small time).

I guess 16 years out of the top flight in a row is a long time to be out of it so for Leeds it must have been such a big deal for them to finally get promoted. As for whether they are small time - I would say they are a decent sized club but not as big as some of their fans try to portray (71 seasons out of the top flight!)

I never saw Nottingham Fans with a Steve Cooper fetish. And that's a bigger club historically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
