Anybody know about employment law? Bielsa is out of contract but still working on Leeds property ie training ground etc. Is he actually insured to do so without signing a new one?

Its most likely that he has a rolling contract until he signs/doesn't sign a new one.

I went one step further for my sins - I registered on waccoe and actually tried to (politely) answer some of their posts and correct the facts that they completely don’t have any grasp of.
Deluded is not the word! They are on another level! Every thing I said got twisted and turned back on me. They have absolutely no interest in facts like he’s been loaned out 3 times (rather than be discovered by Bielsa from our u23 last summer) and even back at Newport 3 years ago their manager tipped him as a future Prem/England star and that we were well aware of him over the 6 years he’d been here (they seem to think none of us had heard of Ben until recently)
The classic was that Bloom is a Johnny come lately who has just jumped onto the premier league merry go round and will soon get bored of his new toy and we will topple down the leagues (when I pointed out he’s a lifelong fan who’s family have been on our board the best part of 40 years I got an absolute dogs abuse)
I tried my best to stay calm and give polite factual response to which I got a barrage of f***ing c***, f*** off and their usual homophobic crap and then they promptly banned me before I could make a reply! No once did I say anything other than facts, but seemingly stating facts is worthy of a ban

Maybe although most reports I’ve read is that he signed a one year contract.
In our first PL season we had Murray (52 apps), Krul (157 apps), Knockaert (9 apps), Duffy (5 apps), Sidwell (185 apps), Rosenior (138 apps) and Ulloa (86 apps) from Jan, as well as Hughton who all had Premier League experience.
Leeds PL experience is currently Cooper (2 apps), Roberts (1 app), 35 year old Hernandez (57 apps), a season each for Costa (25 apps) and Forshaw (34 apps), and Bamford (27 apps for four clubs, 1 goal) as well as a coach yet to commit to the club who hasn't managed in this league before.
You can place as much or little importance on experience as you want, but I think Rosenior, Sidwell and Murray were so important to settling the side that first PL season, obviously Hughton played effective pragmatic football too and had good knowledge of the league. Right now WBA and Fulham have much more proven PL quality than their northern co-promotees.

Pesky things, those facts.

Yep. But its not difficult to set up a weekly/monthly rolling or short term interim contract when that year is up.

Having spent more time than I would have liked in Leeds for work I soon realised that conspiracy theories, friend of a friend stories and a general malcontented attitude is the glue that holds the city together.
They genuinely believe that they are a chosen people. I’m not a Liverpool lover but would absolutely LOVE them to give Leeds a leathering they’ll never forget. Some of their fans are starting to realise they’re on their last cigarette with their makeshift defence and underwhelming forwards. Roll on opening day. Let the games commence.

It reassures me to see you say this, I often use yourself as a barometer to judge the viability of a topic.

That is ****ing tragic, or as my kids would say 'cringe'
any self-respecting Leeds fan should now be supporting Bradford or Huddersfield.

I agree having worked there myself. I got pelters in 83, sneeringly told we’d never beat Liverpool etc.
Funnily enough, once it got to the final, because it was Man Utd, my colleagues actually wanted us to win!
Bradford, Huddersfield, both Sheffield teams, Barnsley and Halifax (who were still in the league then) colleagues ignored them for the most part as arrogant fools. Only one team in Yorkshire was their mantra!

Koch is too good for Leeds. He should go to a top 6 club. £20m should do the deal, we’ve decided. Win win for everyone.
He’d be a good fit at Spurs or Man U.

Right up there with putting both Christian and surnames on players tracksuit tops and making them use Boy Scout tie-ups. Oh, and not forgetting pretending you're Real Madrid.
