    Apparently Bielsa's the favourite at the moment to replace Fat Frank.

    They are.

    However, we are six points ahead of fifth and ten ahead of Liverpool and Chelsea, so at this point I'd back us to stay where we are.

    At no point have I said this is a 'success' by the way, I've said it's an improvement. Which any one with have a brain can see to be true.

    Back in the top four mate, yes.

    Ten points ahead of Liverpool. I agree, it's hilarious.

    First target is always that, second target being a trophy.

    We're still in every comp we entered.

    But yeah, to be expected. As told by the same poople that last season would be saying we're finished as a genuine challenger.

    At the risk of tempting fate, this just won't happen. Bielsa is too punctilious to just fly over and take a job willy nilly. He needs a month to watch all of their games for the last two seasons and 6 weeks pre season to work with the players. Lazy paper talk.

    Sean Dyche is yer man.

    Be funny to see though.

    Bielsa's a legend and a great manager but absolutely batshit, would love to see him work with some of those there, he'd take El Loco to new levels.

    I just told you the basis lol. It's his first season. There's plenty of managers who've spent more than £200m and been there longer. There's only 4 spots at the top of the league and he's currently got United in there and into the semi final of a cup. Add to that he's come in and got a decent record against the usual top 6 sides. It's not just the results, he's got us playing better football than we have in the past 5 years. All in his first season. He's doing well.

    Bielsa's murder ball training techniques on a squad with an average age of 147. The midfield would be collapsing quicker than their nearest and dearests within minutes <whistle>

    Kinda feel sorry for Evertons fans.

    The club's just a perpetual bad joke.

    Not even half a billion spent under moshiri can do any good.

    Just give up i reckon, become a rugby team or summin.
