If i was a major contributing member of the new ownership investment syndicate i’d be wanting my investment to grow. Continuous improvement and structure, no lurching from crisis to crisis. Our new overlords lack of knowledge of football to me would suggest a considerable structure would be needed to look after what after all is one hell of an investment.
I’d be breaking the bank on Bielsa, not as manager but as director of football. Responsible for all aspects of the club. ( old style manager plus) He’d pick the manager, work on the squad via transfers, sort out the academy, even an input on any ground development, the lot top to bottom. A proper football man in charge, not an investor, not an owner playing manager and not a chancer playing football manager looking after the team or recruitment.
If Bielsa a no go, someone of his like, We need a structure to develop this club, we are so far behind we need to play catch up and bloody quickly. I fear the current board have left it too late in acting and we may well be back to starting from 2nd division but at least with new investment and parachute payments, last thing we want though is to then get promoted and undo all the good work previously done as this crowd have done in throwing away Bielsa’s legacy of the previous seasons.
Onwards and upwards anyway, can’t have got much lower than that of this last 12 months.
Bielsa as overlord sounds a great idea.
Never heard of Andoni Iraola but he was Bielsa's captain at Bilbao. Ideal pairing?
I’m talking a structure of Football people, starting with someone like a Bielsa, Wilko or the likes, as the head man, with him controlling the whole structure from top to bottom.With the structure dare i say it,vaguely like it used to be at liverpool. Head man rules, picks his own heir and so on, he serves as manager before moving on up.
It worries me that we are very shortly going to have owners with little to no understanding of football. They need football people to look out for their investment? Would you alternatively be happy for the likes of orta to be that so called football expert? I wouldn’t.

Leeds United have begun the interview process aiming to hire a new head coach, ideally before Sunday's game at Elland Road. Several candidates in the frame, all of whom are currently in work. #lufc

Fuck me the yanks are really upset that we’ve sacked him
Hasn’t been this many failings out with the cunts since 1783
Tough. He was terrible.
Just have to get over it won't they. I couldn't care less if he was American or Mongolian, because it makes no difference when you have the record he has anywhere but the Austrian Bundesliga.
