I like the way Bielsa takes his time signing a new contract. He is always clear about exactly what he wants and wants to be clear about what the goal of the club is for the year ahead.

It's the second part of that where the problem lies for me. What is the goal of the club for next year and is it a goal that Bielsa would relish? The last two years had clear goals, top six and then automatic, both achieved . When he was initially evaluating the players available it was with those goals in mind and it was a reasonable prospect to stay at the club for 1/ 2 years to do it.

Now we are in uncharted waters, never been at a club for three years and how many more years would he want to stay here as he gets older and he's away from home. Is it enough for him to have one year in the premiership especially if the goal is to survive! If we have a five year plan for top 6 domination, he is unlikely to be part of it.

I think getting Leeds to the premiership was an exciting project for Bielsa, keeping us in it for a year is obviously less sexy, and not really the type of job he has had in his career! I think he will ultimately sign up, because the lure of the premiership for a year at this stage of his career might be too much but equally wouldn't surprise me if he doesn't. I hope this time there is a plan b, particularly as we've let Carlos leave who was non Bielsa staff and would have provided some continuity.

Personally I think it will be a 1 year deal, then he will assess again, I think he is relishing the challenge of doing well with let's face it average players (IMO) ,

Realistically yr 1 is survival. Yr 2 mid to upper table and yr 3 push for Europe. We have a great team and they smashed the championship last year but if we finish around 12th next season I will be extremely happy. Whether that challenge is enough for biesla I don’t know but you’d think he would def want to give prem one maybe two goes.
