[Football] Bielsa to..... Bournemouth?

[macbeth]

off to slum it with the redknapp's in sandbanks, possibly?

 

[Easy 10]

That would fit about as well as a Boris Johnson suit.

 

[Change at Barnham]

I'd love to see that in the hope he could get them to finish above Leeds.
It would create the ultimate meltdown at Elland Road. It's Marsch's worst nightmare.

 

[The Wookiee]

To be honest, I’m surprised that the greatest manager in the world has been out of work for so long since being sacked by Leeds - what a coup by Bournemouth if they can beat all the other footballing super powers around the world and get him as their manager

 

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

He’ll find a flat above a chip shop in sunny Boscombe

 

[banjo]

He could make some nice sandcastles with his bucket

 

[A1X]

The most expensive car crash since Pastor Maldonado retired from F1

 

[Frankworthington]

Jack Duckworth moves south?

 

[wunt be druv]

Oh FFS!! REALLY!!

 

[warmleyseagull]

Actually what I find so refreshing is the lack of imagination and research of our fellow South Coast PL sides. It is good evidence of how far ahead TB is in his thinking; was on to RDZ way before anyone else had heard of the name. You sort of feel Saints and Bmuff have been wading around shouting 'anyone want a job', by comparison.

Which is why it's a big, fat, YES from me.

 

[Pevenseagull]

I assume Arteta's comments about Ben White are mentioned elsewhere.

'All credit to him. If you look at him and how far he has come, really only in the last two years'.

I take that as up yours Bielsa and up yours Leeds (although I might be reading too much into this).

 

[Ooh it’s a corner]

I actually liked Bielsa(not Leeds). The team played exciting, attacking football. He came across as a humble guy though possessed by his way of working

 

[Popeye]

It will make Leeds fans extremely angry and some followers of his cult there in Yorkshire will probably cry, so its a yes please for me.

The Bournemouth message board will probably acquire some prolific, obsessed Argentinean posting under the name Peacockman.

 

[Guinness Boy]

Oh yes PLEASE! They'll be terrible while he gets their fitness up to the required levels for murder ball, great for about four months and then the whole league will suss how inflexible he is (again) and they'll implode. A standard Bielsa two or three years max before he gets the tin tack with PLB in mid table in the Championship.

Can you IMAGINE Solanke and Steve Cook playing Bielsa ball?

Edited for you - looking at who most other clubs hire and fire, with managers merry go round-ing their way around PL clubs, I feel TB et al are perhaps the only ones truly succession planning (which is why one of the richest, most successful PL clubs is now effectively trying to just buy us in our entirety)

Steve Cook plays for Forest

In 19th and 20th places……. Or 18th and 19th would do.

I read that RDZ was on Southampton's list until we hired him. I wouldn't be surprised at all if he was on others as well given his acclaim in Italy.
