To continue this situation concerning Bielsa and Pablo, if it is true and there is petulance on Pablo’s behalf and he won’t let it lie then he has to leave. There can can not be room for this player power over a manager that seems to be the trend in current football. I’m totally with Bielsa on this and I believe it was the reason for ejecting Pontus from the club.
However, I think Pablo is old enough and smart enough and will have apologized and that will be the end of the matter.

I’m under the impression he has apologised and if that’s the case then biesla should have had him in squad at palace. So could be biesla being a bully and sulking.
I do think hern should have been subbed but it must be hard for any player seeing roberts replace them. So think Pablo should have been subbed but not for roberts. Think he apologised so now it’s biesla turn to grow some and move on.

OP
Pablo has apologised in public on Sunday and so it us unlikely therefore that ' he won't let it lie ' because why would he have publicly apologised.
Of course unless one is Noel Whelan or Whiteman 😆🤪 and in the ' know' one can't be 100% sure though if it indeed the end of it re Bielsa forgiveness : hopefully for everyone's sake it is!

Side before self!

Who class. Bielsa or pabs.

Bielsa stays for me Aus i believe nobody whoever you are whomever you’ve been replaced by, you hold it in dissent like that only helps the opposition.
I recognise without Pablo we would still be in the Championship, and it was a human reaction on Pablo’s part.
But my own personal take on the side before self philosophy (i have no i idea if correct of course) is the side, the team the collective are what matters. even if this means individuals consider they have been unfairly treated when we were nursing Pablo through the end of last season nobody complained when they had to give way for Pablo HAS to work both ways for me. That’s what creates a team culture of all in it together win or lose.
Actually think it’s been massively exaggerated by first Whelan more lazy journalists and really not helpful. I think Pablo’s public apology clearly detailing that HE let himself and and the team, bielsa down says to me. it’s all sorted.
Arsenal selection is the only way we will all know.

He apologised after being left out, so clearly a demand from the club. Personally, much as I love Pabs, I was utterly disgusted with the disrespect he showed to the meaning of that Black armband on that day. I could fully understand if MB didn’t want him at the club anymore.

Brighty.
Phil Hay stated a couple of days ago in the Athletic, how Pablo is held in great esteem by all at the club as well as if course the fans
' Pablo Hernandez is held up as a pillar of professionalism behind the scenes and only faltering performances can provoke what little temper he has in his footballing life. ' And ' Pablo and Bielsa have together had so much success'
That is Pablo. He made a minor mistake in his behaviour due to his great passion and desire to succeed for Leeds United and whilst no one condones his behaviour many empathise with his frustration.
Bielsa is a fool if he doesn't forgive Pablo.
Time to forgive.
P. S. Bielsa lost Leeds the match against Leicester when he took off Pablo and replaced him with the ever ineffective Roberts.

I'm sure that Pablo was left out as a punishment and to learn again that the boss won't take any carp. I agree with that line even though it hurt the team and hopefully now that's been done and we have an apology we can move forward.
