Why? They are heavily backed by foreign owners. For them it’s all about the Premier League. Isn’t everything you’re opposed to?

Leeds have had 12 players make 12 starts or more, and some of them aren't staying. Their squad is tiny. I don't think they'll stay up, Brighton surely won't loan them Ben White next season and Leeds have got to spend 21m on Augustin, who they don't even want. They need a major strengthening and will spend 37m on players that won't improve the side in Costa and Augustin.

Goes to show what an excellent job the manager has done.

That's the way he likes it, Bielsa is not for changing!

It'll be interesting to see what he does with them in the top flight. I don't think anything can be assumed at this stage.

They're (understandably) desperate to get out of the JKA deal. If they have to spend 21m on him, it will massively impact their transfer dealings. They can struggle to convert their chances and as we've seen, Premier League sides don't need second invitations. I'm almost certain he will stay but it wouldn't be completely out of character for Bielsa to walk away.

Never mind the owners you tit , fans of the less fashionable clubs deserve a taste of the big time if we are going to have this awful money orientated set up
Until it gets the boot and I hope it will , that's the way it is
You do realise this premier league you suck up to so much has tried to prevent promotion to it ?

You do realise this football club you support is funded by Sky TV money and Premier League parachute payments? The TV company and the league you regularly tell everyone you despise so much?

Yes and I am not happy about it
I hate modern football , it sucks
I would rather go back in time
But you seem captivated by it all
I think this adulation of clubs like leeds , by the likes of you , is cringeworthy

You’re already stuck in the 80s, go any further back and those flares that you wear might be back in fashion.

Re: Leeds in the PL. Ambition or setting themselves up for an almighty fall ?
I was tired of hearing how wonderful bielsa and Leeds were in september.
They have documentaries on sky, amazon prime and probably more. Think we released a highlights dvd for our promotion season.
Can't believe it was 16 years ago they were relegated.
It's funny really, Bielsa has achieved nothing more at Leeds so far than what malky or Warnock achieved here but they are ***** here apparently and he is the messiah there.

Re: Leeds in the PL. Ambition or setting themselves up for an almighty fall ?
Fair play, Bielsa has done a superb job because the core of the current team were there when he arrived and he has improved a lot of them - that's proper management, but what would happen to Leeds if he left?
I'm pleased for friends of mine of around my age who have stuck with Leeds through the bad times, but, in truth, they're plastics aren't they - better than most plastics, but still plastics all the same.
As for Leeds the club with their "this is where we belong" crap, I hope they do as badly as the last Championship winners have.

Bielsa has done it with class and grace. He hasn’t made it all about him like the other pair you mention.

You're apparently a socialist who is far left of centre, hates the Premier League and hates Sky TV.
Nevertheless, you actively support a football club financed by a Malayisan billionaire, Premier League parachute payments and Sky TV money.
Seems to me you're either confused, conflicted, a complete hypocrite or all three rolled into one.

He's won the Championship, which Warnock didn't here.
It's amazing how people seem to have forgotten just how popular Mackay was here during his first two seasons and he was pretty popular before Tan sacked him too.
'Don't sack Mackay, Malky Mackay, I just don't think you understand.....'

I was never a fan of Malky. Give me Dave Jones football any day even if we did fall short.

Agree and he has my admiration for that.
Just hope Real Madrid come in for him.

Base camp. For f**s sake !!!
Yeah, the base camp line is cheesy. But, saying that, I think that sort of talk excites fans whereas we had a feeling of "bonus season" before we'd even kicked a ball. Base Camp v Bonus Season - both awful lines. But, Base Camp v Bonus Season, Base Camp wins it for me as a fan wanting to hear positives from a club.
