FFS he has been a manager since Jul. 2019 in the Dutch league (2019-2020 AZ and 2021- Feyenoord) Ofcause he is going to be amazing in the prem:emoticon-0138-think
I've not passed judgement on him mate, there are dozens I would prefer and dozens I definitely wouldn't. For Radz to suggest an announcement is expected shortly I think it points to someone currently without a club or who is in this country on Ortas speed dial..

If it is Steven Gerrard I will be gutted
 
Go give your head a shake 2p.

We are not going down.

Plenty of quality in the squad and if we could survive last season then we certainly can this <ok>

But surely it depends on who the new manager is.

We may get another Ted.

Or were you convinced we were staying up even with Marsch in charge?

Is John Terry avaliable
 
fill your boots, when you’ve finished filling your socks that he’s gone <laugh>
Didn't rate after that first home game against Villa.

Championship standard manager promoted above his skill set, however that said he kept us up somehow and earn't himself a fair crack of the whip. No one's responsibility but his own that he couldn't get then necessary points to keep his job. Messed things up down at Southampton and again at Tottenham, thats another 3 points right there which would have seen him survive.

Just not good enough Milky I'm afraid.

This SQUAD is better than last seasons.

The owners/board are doing everything in their power to keep us up, which is definitely an improvement on last season.

Permission to panic though if we don't get a win in our next 4 fixtures.

Depends on the new coach and just think how elated I will be if and when we stay up

Leeds attacker Rodrigo has told BBC Radio Yorkshire that Marcelo Bielsa’s tactics of playing man-to-man proved only hampered the Whites – admitting that Jesse Marsch’s style allows Leeds to play with more energy.

Bielsa was sacked towards the end of February after a dismal run of results – and a huge amount of goals conceded. Since then, American gaffer Marsch has come in and changed the system, playing more zonally in defence.

He has more structure, but still with the freedom of a Bielsa side in attack. Leeds have suffered losses to Leicester City and Aston Villa, but secured crucial late wins over Norwich City and then Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Speaking out about the difference in style, Spain international Rodrigo – who was signed during Bielsa’s era – believes Bielsa’s man-to-man drained the energy of the Leeds players and affected them going forward.

"We had this one-v-one marking that maybe was penalising us too much, especially in defensive moments because our position is always a function of the opponent,” Rodrigo told the BBC, on Bielsa’s tactics.

“I think now that the methodology, the way of play change, and because everyone is occupying the zone, and share better the spaces in the field. So maybe [it] gives us more energy to defend and to attack as well"

--------

This isn't a dig at Bielsa. This is evidence that Rodrigo was unhappy toward the end. He was regularly benched or substituted and was regularly sulking as he went off and at times petulant in the direction of Bielsa. He'd took his fellow Brazilian Raphinha under his wing and his form suffered too around this time.

This article was 1 month after Bielsa left.

The only difference is Bielsa used Rodrigo as 10 or 7

I'm not talking about his position in the side. I'm more focused on Rodrigo's mindset toward the end of Bielsas reign. He was frustrated, unhappy, sulky, petulant and he'd sit on the bench moaning at the others in the same boat. I specifically remember him coming off and gesturing toward Bielsa then sitting next to Klich and pointing and shouting towards the coaches.

You accused me of being disrespectful to Rodrigo and Raphinha by saying they downed tools. I've given you evidence that suggests Rodrigo was unhappy under Bielsa, certainly at the end.
