One thing that has not really been mentioned is on the impact Bielsa had on attracting quality younger and ambitious players to the club. I am sure many of the quality signings, especially the U23's, was due to players wanting to be trained by Bielsa, a no brainer for players wanting to progress. I think attracting the right players has taken a major step back and makes the aim of competing with the "big 6" in a few years look a hell of a lot harder.

Ha, brilliant - the Peacock pub to be renamed The Bielsa.

My 'local', just about, certainly my most frequented pub in the last 20 years or so.

I dunno mate, that is all a bit bleak a forecast, completely understandable of course. I dare say that the board would consider Prem survival more important than the future recruitment, plus the fact that we are/hope to continue being, a healthy top tier club is more than enough appeal for youngsters to sign. Orta has been a big part of all the signings too.

Marsch etc will be no Hockadays either when it comes to reputation.

I have a quick question to ask you all..........

Do you think that Bielsa will be watching (as and when he can ) all of our remaining games this season and beyond that?
