I find this video very interesting, when it comes to Bielsas tactics.

Translation, until we sign some quality players frankly i don't care who's in charge. (Over to Orta again, maybe this time with a larger budget for him to blow)

Anyway, best of luck PH i'm not sure you were the right man to put bums on seats. I'm not sure your name would have reverberated enough in America.
Totally agree. My mate has just been telling me that Bielsa speaks very little english, if true, that's a big problem for me. I know it may sound that I'm being negative but I'm not entirely convinced by Bielsa, his last few jobs hasn't exactly set the world alight, he got sacked from Lille. The main thing for me is that he has no experience of England, let alone the Championship.

Interesting video.

It's pretty obvious this guy likes players with technique who are comfortable with the ball. He's going to love O'Kane, Cooper, Dallas....in fact most of the squad. He's in for a shock.

Thing is for me, this league is not about tactical geniuses. Put someone in charge who knows what it takes and then buy the right players, its not rocket science, its called finance. :D Then even a certain Mr Warnock will get you promotion time and time again. Simples!

Regardless of the rights or wrongs of sacking The Heck, not very classy applying the chop whilst he's away on holiday ............ poor form.

Whilst I agree that Heckingbottom didn't set the world alight, I have to say, we have a tradition of replacing managers with worse managers. of late.
Lets hope we get someone good, and that our money men have not targeted a coach from the Uzbekistan 3 tier who only costs £4.70 a week and a new goat

It could be even worse than that, it could be Pardew. :shock:
I once played against Don Revie.

The only one for me who more or less guarantees success is big Sam. Did Kinnear have him at West Ham ?

Reports suggest we've already spoken to Bielsa / Bruce / Ranieri /

Of those 3, my preference would be Bruce, followed by Ranieri, followed by Bielsa
