Some lovely glimpses of the man Bielsa is from his press conference yesterday. Firstly in saying that a draw would not have been an unfair result and then in crediting one of his coaches, was it Pablo quiroga? With the idea to shift Hernadez.
I think you need a Coach that the club can rally around as a figurehead who embodies the qualities that you want to see. We clearly have that man and the rest can follow.
The players and other key employees at the club can see that most of his ideas work and when they don't, he takes responsibility for them. That gives everyone more confidence and makes them listen to him.
I think whatever he says, Bielsa has an idea in his mind, the thought of a Bielsa coached Leeds having a chance to play against Peps City, Klopps Liverpool, And Pochettino's Spurs. Not just to manage a team in the Premiership but to create a vision, build a team that can get there and show that his ideas and his style of football can deliver. And to the money men, a Bielsa led Leeds in the premiership would attract the television, the players, the world wide attention and the supporters. Imagine how many season tickets we would sell!
He has done more than enough already to show that he can do it, we need to support him and believe and he needs the same support from every employee of the club. Whatever he is asking for in Jan, they should use every single second and available pound to make happen. We know that it won't be excessive, but it could be key. It's time to dream!

Buy or Don't buy I don't really care. So long as it's his decision. Then as you say let's rally around for the run in.

I can’t believe that at this stage we would buy somone that he didn’t want. For me it’s just a case of whether we can get the few that he wants. I’m sure that both Bielsa and his team and Orta will have been formulating a view on who might work and be possible. We just need to make sure that he’s got what he needs.

Spanish. When we are in the PL, under Bielsa, sky will have to set up SkysportsLeeds, officially. There’s no other club like us anymore, loved or hated, that draws viewing and money, and no other fans like us, that creates that atmosphere of old time football. I can’t wait. It’s coming soon.
