    Yes you’re right ell all Bielsa’s fault and no blame lies with the people who are supposed to do due diligence on any potential signing <laugh> <whistle>

    Orta : hey Marcello, I can get you a £40m striker on loan till the end of the season, at which stage we can sign him for half price. Do you want him ? Andrea is more than willing to sanction the deal.

    Bielsa : Si

    Orta : ok leave it with me, I'll negotiate so everything is in favour of the club, it will be a bargain.

    Orta : hey Andrea, we can sign a £40m player on loan. Marcello really wants to sign him. If we get promoted we can sign him for £20m and then sell him for mucho dinero. Can I sort out a contract.

    Radziani : Si victor, I trust you

    Orta : Right medical team, everyone wants to sign this striker I'm getting cheap, so to keep it secret we're going to do the medical in a hotel room. Make sure no matter what that he passes.

    Rob Price : your the guvnor Victor

    Yes, compulsory buy clause if Leeds got promoted BUT it was Bielsa that said yes!

    It was also Bielsa that then didn't want him at the club after 2 or 3 games, and didn't make any appearances even when fit.

    Based on the information he was given. Augustin was deemed fit by the medical team.

    Afternoon everyone Dallas will not retire poor as he got full wages. He does not appear to be disabled so can live a good life.
    Tonight wakey are at pontefract because tuesday it was bogged. So its a semi final and ponte play again on saturday. Some teams in our league are playing Saturday Tuesday thursday to fit games in and have cup delayed games to play on top. So the full time pros can stick their excuses up their rear end.. As jim royle might say... Tired my arrse.

    Doing there own thing…. then sorry the manager has to be blamed, if I tell you to play in a certain way and you don’t then be prepared to be replaced, aka Bielsa on Philips after 20 odd minutes, remember.

    I thought he wanted to go back because he wasn’t being played enough and Bielsa wasn’t happy with his decision.

    Looks like it was just a delaying tactic until they were sure they'd make the FFP requirements. Coincidence that they've just published their results at almost exactly the same time as that decision? A guess, but not a wild one, methinks. Prolly means we'll be absolutely buggered if we don't go up now, financially speaking.
