Not sure we do know any of that,Bielsa was so loyal he never criticised the club for not giving him what was needed.Privately I think he had plenty to not be happy about.

From what I was told, the only player Bielsa backed down on was Llorente, which was purely Orta's. Otherwise Orta would get three names, and Bielsa would pick one.
 
Bielsa inherited an average Championship squad and made us feel like we were Real Madrid.

Farke inherited the best attack the Championship has seen in a long time. It’s not meant to be a put down on him but Piroe, Rutter, Gnonto, Summerville and even James would walk into any Championship club

Farke is great for us, I’d not swap him, I feel Bielsa would not have handled the turmoil as well as Farke has, the dressing room divide, the loan situation, he’s turned it round very quickly

We’d definitely be 5 points better off if we’d have had a settled squad on day one.

FARKE rebuilding is with a much higher quality players that Bielsa never had.

Bielsa refused to change a winning formula but backed up by that was telling the board he needed to replace a lot of players which they didn’t do. He also told the board that you cannot just bring in a loan player he needs to be a certain type of player.

As for those who say Bielsa didn’t know how to defend well that was due to massive injuries and not very good defenders. The players he has for Uraguay are much better and his tactics kept Brazil to only having 2 shots at goal, thats Brazil the most attacking team in world football.

FARKE is doing great but he already has better defenders than Bielsa had available to him in season 2 Prem. FarkeBall is good and long May it continue

Not sure I agree with that assessment about the defenders. Farke still has Ayling, Cooper and Struijk still here from the Bielsa days. For Rodon = Ben White. Farke is playing a RB at LB and a young midfielder at RB.

Cooper and Ayling not good enough for FARKE now as both over the hill. Struijk new lease of life as he has a proper coach giving him a reason to enjoy his football plus not played at left back or midfield. Just my view though mate

Jaidon Anthony’s not too shabby either. It was great seeing so many attacking players on the pitch at the same time yesterday.

A variation of ‘parking the bus’ only we parked it in their half.

Always thought Bielsa would be impossible to follow but Farke is doing a fine job of it. The garbage in between also shows how far these two are ahead in the coaching stakes at Leeds over decades.. It seems all the attributes Marcello had, Farke seems to have and maybe more. Bielsa transformed anyone with reasonable ability to a different level and created the beautiful game. Farke has achieved similar or better. He’s cobbled together a great team from a disaster and also playing exhilarating football. He seems to have one additional attribute Martello lacked, the ability to adapt systems and games and yesterday proved it’s a big one. Unfortunately only a few short weeks left till the pl sackings get into full swing and he’s linked with every job going. Hope he’s around for the long haul

Let’s hope his 2 ‘failures’ in the Prem put people off him (though I suspect he failed because of lack of funding)
