    Playing Bamford caused his injury to rupture. Because of that it could be healed unlike before when it would not respond to treatment. This of course was a master stroke by jessie.

    Bielsa did not recruit the new coach and how do you know marsch could not be coaching at another prem club.

    News appearing all over the internet is the massive waiting list for counselling by Bielsas followers. The cult members are being seen wandering around aimlessly mumbling about statues. Some have even discovered they have families.
    The worst affected are collecting his press conferences and trying to decipher them like the Da Vinci code. But they will never understand the meanings as no one ever has.

    Simon Jordan felt Marsch was wrong criticising Bielsa, he stated there are two sides to every story, he made some valid points before ending with;

    ““He’s five minutes into the job, they aren’t pulling up that many trees.”

    Maybe not pulling up trees but maybe he’s missed the fact we’ve 10 out of last 12 points and virtually safe. Would 12 out if 12 be classed as pulling up trees or should we be scoring maybe five in every game according to Simon Jordan whoever he is

    Morning all.
    I've just read through this.
    My opinion is it's a storm in a teacup.
    What if the training regime did actually cause burnout and injuries in the players? I don't know but if that is the case should JM not say anything because it will reflect badly on Bielsa?
    I don't have an ounce less respect for Bielsa because he believed in his way of doing things and it had been working. Something changed this year.

    The woke brigade on full dummy spitting the last couple of days. How dare someone say something I disagree with. Boo hoo hoo.

    No transfers to talk about as window shut.

    No Leeds footy to talk about as 16 days between games.

    Let’s go overboard by deciphering every word in an interview and what was implied in said interview :emoticon-0113-sleep

    Yes, something changed this year? Small squad which he refused to top up. Injuries and square pegging. Bielsa praised Meslier for fantastic distribution which was not even close to being good enough this season. 3 transfer windows wasted on not signing a midfielder. Underestimating the quality of the league.

    What we have to remember is that Bielsa insisted on an 18 man squad with 6 U23s. Marsch will be using 18+4 so whats going to happen if we get shot down by i juries again. Toughest league in the world

    My mate (Arsenal supporter) told me he was listening to the Marsch interview and he felt he came over really well. I said he’s divided fans with the criticism of Bielsas training. I also added that I disagreed about the training as nobody complained when we had three great seasons…. He replied “Dallas has come out and said the same thing”. I’ve not found reference to this anywhere and I’d forgot until now…

    The only comment I can remember from Dallas was that they had to send in photographic evidence of their weight every day during lockdown.

    Marsch's comments were bizarre. Up until that point he had been quite respectful of Bielsa, so it came a little bit out of the blue.

    Bamford has been carrying his injury for a year. It could or could not have ruptured at any time. Knowing this, I'm even more surprised that Leeds didn't fork out on a second striker last Summer.

    Do we think that Bielsa told Radz he didn't want anybody else, just like he did in January?

    My belief is that Bielsa genuinely thought he had enough in the squad to stay up and when he was quoted as saying that we'd just beaten Burnley & West Ham at the beginning of January.

    Our better players were due to soon return from injury and if we'd have our better players available all season then most would agree that we'd have easily finished in a comfortable mid table position....we still might by the way <ok>
