Bielsa sacked by Leeds… 11:08 - Feb 27 with 1570 viewsITFC_Forever

…. Entertaining though Leeds were, he was an arrogant fool who thought he was better than everyone else. Much like their fans, no wonder they idolised him.

Was he arrogant? I always thought he was a very humble guy.

Inevitable really. Shocking form and have conceded more than Norwich.

Wonder if they'll go after the Huddersfield guy who worked with Bielsa.

Maybe arrogant isn’t quite the right word.

But a refusal to adapt and change his approach when results are going against you does suggest an air of thinking you know better than anyone else.

Anyway, it’s Leeds, so always amusing to see them suffer.

Your second paragraph. What has Paul Cook got to do with it.

I did think of Cook when I wrote that to be fair!

Much as I dislike Leeds that should be put aside when looking at Bielsa. He is anything but arrogant or a fool. Always enjoyed watching his style of football. Was exciting at Bilbao and has had a few good years of good football at Leeds. Most managerial cycles come to an end in some sort of decline but admittedly this one was a bit of a nose dive.

I feel sorry for his interpreter.

Never really sure watching the interviews post Leeds games if he was making it up .

We have no village green, or a shop. It's very, very quiet. I can walk to the pub.

Think it’s a case of backing himself and his beliefs rightly or wrongly. His term there has been nothing but relative success and he’s in the top 15 managers of the last 20 years I would suggest.

You have to question a manager who had to spy on a Paul Hurst Ipswich team.

Living in Leeds and soaking up the insider knowledge if you will!
Nothing about the guy seemed arrogant.
Nice approachable bloke.
They've tried but been hampered by injuries to key players.
These things happen.
They arguably needed to act soon to try stop the rot.

A genius when it's going right, stubborn and one dimensional when it isn't.

The Premier League is better for his presence though.

Truly impaired.

That’s a very low bar.
