Massive weekend and a huge performance required from our team. We have a new head coach and guess what, so do Southampton as Ruben Salles has now been given the job until the end of the season. He was in temporary charge last week but given the gig yesterday. So a couple of new guys going at it this weekend. Providing he gets his work permit.
Lets hope the club havent botched the Javi Gracia appointment up like they have the sacking of Marsch. They have been in touch with Gracia for a couple of weeks and will have known they would need to go to the FAs exception panel, so why leave it so late.
If Southampton win they have momentum with 6 points from 2 games
If Leeds win they are at the start of a recovery and have a chance to survive
Does a draw help either club? Maybe Saints as it would be 4 points from 2 games, but I’m afraid not good enough for Leeds
Tomoz will be exactly one year since the club sacked Bielsa and the reality is that the club have gone backwards since. Forget the would Bielsa have kept us up argument, and try and think of anything good that you can say has taken the club forward. The reality is that the appointment of Marsch has been a disaster simply because of being in a worse position now than we were in this time last year. The appointment of Bielsa’s successor should have been better and it was worse, so the board have caused this stagnation. The board have been brilliant in employing Bielsa in the first place and giving him the power to do what he did with the foundations of the club and the coaching side. The board were complicit in watching the club start to fail before the start of last season. Things were obviously not working and Bielsa wasn’t being supported and we could all see all was not good at the club. But to sit and watch what happened over the last year borders on incompetence. Marsch has had the equivalent of a whole season 38 games and the football and results were shocking. The board will be the only ones to blame if we are relegated this season. Marsch should have been sacked much earlier and we would now have had a new head coach who was good enough to win games and see us much higher up the table. Maybe a new striker would have been brought in instead of an untried potential superstar in Georginio. I’m a big fan of Georginio but he needs to be let loose from the start especially when we see Bamford forget how to kick a ball or watch him blundering about trying to get his left foot involved.
3 new arrivals could have already taken place today if the work permit situation has been done, as Zigor Aranalde, Juan Solla and Mikel Antia were expected to follow Gracia into Thorp Arch. However when does Skoobs go back to the 21s and what does it all mean for Marsch’s mate AirPod.

). Did our board not also try to create stability?
