Again never heard of him but looks like yet another cheap option will Radz ever learn ?
Just thinking that myself. Surely if the rumours are true and talks have been going on for a while with MB it wouldn't make sense to be talking to another inexperienced manager as well ?

Didn't Angus Kinnear say that we will be bringing in an experienced manager? Can't see it happening, probably just lazy journalism. But.. with Leeds, anything is possible!

Expect the unexpected. I suspect it will be another coach similar to the one mentioned above, bought in on another 18 month contract with a remit to get us promoted. You know how the rest goes. Cynical i know, but 15 years of bull crap has made me that way.

And in particular with Pep he has unlimited funds available. The problem i have with "the best coach in the world" Bielsa is why is he not being touted for the Madrid job, or even the West Ham job? I would rather change our aspirations from great hope, to tried and tested given time and resource. ON ON ON
A little tongue in cheek. My point was that neither manager proved themselves at small clubs with limited resources. Come to Leeds and really prove yourself (Come on Arsene or Zinadene!)

I've been village idiot like for ages saying we should get Wenger in :D but I think he wants a quieter life now, if quotes are to be believed. Genuinely knew nothing about Bielsa and, if he is the new boss, I don't have one inkling how he'll do. It seems most fans are v keen on him, he's got a very interesting CV and reputation but doesn't seem to have actually won that much, so I'm surprised there hasn't been more 'outrage' about him being next boss. Really looking forward to getting the new boss in asap and to new plans being put in place immediately.

That's one experiment i would love to see tested out in the future. Pep managing Burton or something? I suppose you could argue listening to all the plaudits about Bielsa, that he is as close has we have come to a world class coach. He just lacks the trophies to go with it.

A Copa America and a an Olympic Gold might only be 2 trophies but at international level it's 2 more than most.
3 championships in Argentina (I think) with Newell Old Boys, although their league system confuses me as I think they have two seasons each year, isn't bad. Getting to 2 continental club competition finals is on a par with Jurgen Klop, and I don't think we'd grumble if he was on his way. The Bilbao team he managed that beat Man United at Old Trafford played some super football.

Big Sam, Bruce and McCarthy would hit the ground running, although I detest Bruce and I’m not sure McCarthy is that good!
