Another sad indictment on modern football.
Bielsa joined a club with a dreadful reputation both on and off the field and through his honest and highly principled approach, completely changed the image of the club. Those who have read my views on Leeds in the past will know that they were far from being a favourite of mine but I have to say that they have been a joy to watch under Bielsa's reign.
A victim of being honest and honourable in a game that scoffs at such attributes.
Furthermore, I think it's the wrong decision by the club. If they come down, I'm not sure who could take them back again.
Anyway, I wish him well.

We can but hope that if they do come back down, then for the good of the game and in honour of Bielsa's time at the club that they fail to gain promotion again for another 20 years or so...

Plus the six points each season may come in useful for us :1980_boogie_down:
 
Can’t see them getting relegated (nor Everton) and wouldn’t want them to be as they’d be red hot favourites to take an auto promotion spot.
Looking at recent results, Newcastle and Burnley look like they’ll survive leaving Brentford vulnerable with Watford and Norwich to drop.
