Everywhere he goes he creates great footballing sides, Chile, Marseille, Atletico, then he has a kind of emotional deviation and walks. If he remains happy at Leeds they will become a top six team in England again.

3331 attacking formation where midfielders play in defence, double Training sessions, everyone presses furiously all game and it's one touch passing from the back right through the team. Not sure Deek or Gary O would cope with it.

I don't like Leeds but thought at the time Bielsa was a fantastic appointment for them. A fascinating manager who is acknowledged by some (including Guardiola) as being the best coach in the world. His press conferences are legendary and his tactical knowledge of football is probably as good as there's ever been. The one issue is hes unpredictable and never seems to hang around anywhere that long...

Liverpool winning the league and Leeds coming back up would be a great season.

Think we all need Villa to go up, think Hibs get some sort of extra payment for SGM, if the gossip is true

Villa promoted, McGinn signed by any Champions League team please. Ker-ching for Hibernian.

Leeds have been my English team since the early 70's so it's great to see them doing well this season, fingers crossed they can keep it up. Being a Hibs and Leeds fan i always wait fro the self destruct button being pressed.

Read that yesterday, this bit made me laugh:

Leeds United will return to the promised land and be an antidote to the vanity, selfishness and greed of the money-obsessed Premier League.

As if Leeds aren't going to be (at least) as vain, selfish and greedy as every other Premier League side. If they weren't then getting to the Premier League wouldn't matter a sook.

Bielsa is a great manager. Miles ahead of the curve for years and, I think, wildly under appreciated by folk in Britain because he’s “only” had success abroad.

You still see El Loco banners at Marseille now, four seasons after he left! They absolutely love him.

I think it'd be pretty funny if Man U did a Cantona And robbed him from Leeds..
