    I’m going to sit back and observe the incomings, I thought Rads was the real deal, I still think he is the best owner we’ve had in many a year but he has disappointed me recently. The handling of PH if we are replacing, the insistence or perseverance with Orta and a DOF, let’s see who we bring in, the moment I have to Wiki them and I’m giving up on 2018/19

    But Bisela would be a def statement of intent - Mad as a ****ing hatter and could go either way but anybody going to be a risk and he could be the on e we need right now - would explain why we've been linked with the players we have been

    Popey is now in the game

    A contact Spain says El Correo is a very reputable source. Also adds Bielsa doesn’t speak English, required a translator with Lille & was difficult to understand at Bilbao. However, he does play an attacking and attractive style & is thought highly of by Guardiola & Pochettino.

    Now Amitai Winehouse

    Bielsa leading Athletic Bilbao to that two-legged win against Manchester United in the Europa League back in 2012 remains one of the best underdog displays I've ever seen. They totally outclassed them.

    Famously Guardiola considers hime the best coach in the world. Hasn't worked at his last few clubs due to transfer budget/control so Radz and Orta would have to give/offer assurances either that or he's past his time but there's something suitably mad about him that might just work here - and if he ever discovers this web-site might be fun.....

    Bielsa is a god to the Newell's fans because he won the title there, but also because his intense personality fascinated and charmed them. Legend has it that after a defeat the Rosario fans gathered outside his house to protest. Bielsa confronted them with a hand grenade in his hand.

    Obviously just picking up from all the different new stories but does seem to be more than a wild guess from the internet now https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/f...sa-Paul-Heckingbottom-Replacement-Latest-News

    I must admit, after a while I thought Orta was wrongly steering Radz cos of Radz lack of knowledge and experience in football and the Championship. I still believe that's happening but, my confidence in Radz is waning, basically cos he hasn't woke up yet to what's happening despite many fans saying the same thing on social media outlets.

    So the guy who’s saying BIELSA apparently also got the 49ers thing right. He says £20m paid to secure an option on buying Leeds from Radz as part of their 10% buy in. Also says they demanded Heck sacked and most of the squad sold this summer #lufc

    I keep seeing the Bielsa rumour surfacing, said in one report he likes to play 3-3-3-1 not sure how that one would work

    Not sure how owning only 10% earns you any “demands”, I’d also question how much they’d seen the team play? If they really have seen us enough to form an opinion the first question should surely be who signed this lot and a more realistic demand would be sack the guy who brought them in??

    Disaster is the way I predict, hard for any coach to need an interpreter and whilst we have Orta picking us up second rate players it’s just rinse and repeat. Reality check here please (from us all), we’re getting excited because we want change so badly or because we genuinely believe this guy can turn below average into promotion contenders?
