    You think the management team that brought us the Leeds salute badge and a tour of Myanmar will have twigged he doesn’t speak English? The delay in announcing the deal is probably because Angus kinear is in smiths looking for an Anglo Spanish dictionary.

    Guess they could get Orta to do the translation:

    Bielsa: ‘dos cerveza por favor’
    Orta: ‘ he says it’s a top 6 squad but the coaches were sh*t’

    Possibly cos he hasnt been appointed yet. Way too soon Mike to be getting carried away. Next three months will tell what direction club is going in. This is a first step and looks to be in the right direction

    Another good - his contacts, especially his well-placed disciples with talented players that need loaning out.

    My biggest concern is wondering if the standard of our squad is good enough for his style of play, both in terms of fitness & technique. Is he used to first class players that have the capabilities he requires? I suspect so, but hope not, otherwise we're in trouble. This is very much a second-level squad. A sculptor can create great beauty in marble, but ask him to do the same sculpture with a block of butter on a hot day, and ..... well, you get the picture.

    I think he will be very aware of this and radz/orta the board have given assurances that he will be able to build a squad capable of playing his high pressing attack style of football,no doubt this was one of the holdups,wouldn't be at all surprised if the 49ers up their stake in the club to finance what we need for a premier push,exciting times ahead,but as 2pennth just said the fat lady hasn't sung just yet.

    Yes, The hope is that the man who watches football matches with a Billy Bunter appetite has devoured enough Leeds games to know exactly what he’s getting... and it’s more pork pie than caviar. Knowing it and fixing it are two different things of course

    More interestingly, who is Annie Adair, and why are you stalking her? Watch out - her dad's handy with dynamite! :D

    Too true,but Bielsa's as much as anyone is capable of sorting this club out and getting them to play the type of football we all crave,i couldn't say the same about hecky or mick or most of the names that were bandied about.:1980_boogie_down:

    So despite some previous posts and links to articles stating he has signed, he hasn't yet?
