[Football] Marcelo Bielsa - is he the Messiah

[Medwayseagull]

I have yet to see the messiah depicted anywhere as an overweight Argentinian.

 

[Stat Brother]

Has he singed yet, or is he still.waiting for something better to come along?

 

[Megazone]

Deep meditation and a vegan diet has opened my gateway to Biesla.

 

[Madafwo]

FFS Icy. You nick the obvious joke in line one and then don't offer it as a poll option

B Minus - must try harder.

I'm not voting as a protest. B Minus is very generous.

 

[Swansman]

Black mailing their club into making irresponsible purchases in these Covid times?

I’d say very naughty boy (indeed).

They have a pretty good success rate on their signings under Bielsa compared to before.

I understand that people wants him to be a useless idiot, but he isnt.

 

[Frankworthington]

Leeds fans will find out very soon that it is unwise to worship false prophets.

 

[atomised]

He can't be really. The Messiah would not need to spend millions on players as he would just sign the likes of Matt Derbyshire and turn them into the next Messi, Bale or Ronaldo

 

[Meade's Ball]

I think he is. In a Jimmy Saville way, i wrote to him with a problem i had with a neighbouring goat, and i expected no response. But, by the swished epee of Heracles, i did receive an answer, in a box. What i thought was excellent was, as well as the still steaming head of the horned annoyance, the accompanying description of how he did it - a scythe was involved, and a handful of sourdough mints -, including snaps he'd taken of the goat from a distance, and one of it wildly headless and akimbo as he sought to teach it a lesson with his all-knowing member. Anyway, i have slept better, and know where to write to if other beasts give me any bother.

 

[Southern Scouse]

He is certainly a character and than can be both inspiring and frustrating. I think he could do well in the PL just not with a rubbish club such as leeds.
At a larger club he’d do well and he will pull off the odd shock, his problem is getting up for it every game against superior opposition, 98% of the time.

There`s no doubt he`s a good manager but not as good as Leeds fans make him out to be.

Can call him the Messiah if they get top 4.

 

[lizard]

Bielsa's career win percentage is 45.9%
That's pretty w**k really when you consider his six years as manager of Argentina.
If he sticks around long enough the Leeds faithful will want him gone by January when they're a dozen points below the line.
Even potter's win percentage is higher (46.3%) and that's without managing anyone expected to win every match. Ourselves excluded of course
If Potter walked tomorrow I could think of twenty managers I'd take over him.

Anyway, has he signed that contract yet or is he still holding them to ransom over new signings? Or maybe £8M p.a. isn't enough, because I'm assured he doesn't do it for the money, it's his dream, ahh bless!

 

[jamie (not that one)]

He's an excellent manager but I think they're really going to struggle next year.

 

[Eric Youngs Contact Lense]

Of course there is an element of "wait and see" , but there is no doubting he has done a fantastic job at Leeds. Despite the Ben White Saga and the apparent sense of entitlement we have seen from some fans, he has taken them up in some style I think, following a very close run thing the year before. That's not easy to do, and without spending relative bucket-loads in the meantime.
So, not the Messiah yet, but could be...

I see what you did there

The man is a genius, every single player he’s worked with he’s improved ten fold. The same Leeds squad bar Bamford and Costsa finished 13th the season before he arrived, Leeds spent just 4 weeks outside the top two in the following two championship seasons after that. Listen to what Pep says about him here.

45,9% is great for someone who has never coached a really big team (besides Argentina, where he was coach for 68 games - less than two PL - season and had a very good record with 42 wins, 10 draws and 10 losses).

 

[Skaville]

Seriously? This is a Brighton forum. Who gives a ****?

 

[Pinkie Brown]

He reminds me of Jack Duckworth from Coronation Street. On the strength of that, it's a no from me. Sorry.

Messiah no Bielsabub yes!
