I think all Leeds fans appreciate what Marcelo Bielsa did for the club! He was perfect for giving the club media coverage and a style of football everyone loved! But saying that he was too stubborn, teams caught on to our style of play, players started to feel the physical and mental pressure playing under Bielsa. Many of these players would never have made it under another manager, Bielsa got the best out of them but they had little left after 3-4 years.Maybe Bielsa would have kept Leeds up? Personally, I doubt it.Marcelo would have left, he stayed at Leeds longer than anywhere,and Leeds would be looking for a new manager. Would it be in the Prem or Championship?

Bielsa is a top-draw 3-Year Manager. Nothing more. He was brought in to do a job. Get Leeds Up. He did that. Marsch was brought in to do a job. Keep Leeds Up. He did that. Onwards & Upwards now! That's how Football is! MOT

Not buying Bielsa resisted new players but he did only want players he thought would improve the team and they needed to be fit enough to play his style of football. We've been fortunate this year, let's now see if lessons have been learnt as it's all about consolidation in the PL for the next few years.

You only have to look at attendances even back in title winning seasons, where the lowest attendances of the season were around 10,000 less than the highest. This season our lowest attendance was only about 1.000ish off the season's average.

MB got Leeds to the prem . He would not sign players who wasn’t better than the ones we already had .Eddie Gray can’t say anything bad because he’s part of Radz back room team . And to say teams found out how we played is absolutely rubbish. How long as pep and Klop been at Man City & Liverpool respectively they haven’t change . The truth is Leeds had injuries probably nine players at all the same time , no manager could cope with that. Radz panicked and pulled the trigger . And just I mean just got away with it . MB was the best manager the premier as ever seen , no one will better his way . Leeds was lucky to have him , because we would be a mid table championship team still today . But he’s gone now and I wish JM all the best , can’t blame him for taking the job who wouldn’t. Time will tell . Good luck JM I hope you prove me wrong. 🤍💛💙

Bielsa did well to get us promotion but he wasn't the man to keep us in the prem I personally would have got rid of him a month earlier, we nearly went down because of sentiment keeping hold of bielsa so long,who was terribly nieve in defence and stubborn he refused to adapt and change. Marsch was thrown into the lions den with 12 games to go with a team that did not know how to defend.he has down brilliantly .I am so happy for him and my home town club but finding the right players is not easy but I rather we try build in the prem than the championship.ya know the word legend is used so easily these days but eddie truly is at Elland Road.he still looks fantastic ,still has that sparkle in his eyes he makes me proud to be a fan of my home town club.

Given the interview the Leeds CEO gave yesterday on The Square Ball podcast it turns out that Eddie was misinformed by the previous ownership (well spotted Simon Jordan!). Bielsa knew his methods were beyond the players who'd come up from the Championship and recommended a huge squad overhaul to the board which was rejected on financial grounds. He knew we wouldn't survive in the PL without a step up in the calibre of players coming in and ultimately he was proved right. We were buying 5 out of 10's instead of 7 and 8's (the words of the Leeds CEO not mine). Bielsa deserved much better from the club ! Thank you Marcelo.

By the time they sacked Bielsa he was already completely lost the players making them doing ridiculous things like man to man marking the whole game. And that's why after the game at Brentford there was no player remembering Bielsa at all. And then we have the injuries situation. You can have three, four.....lets say seven injuries the whole season. When you have seventeen injuries the whole season you're a fool if you think that's just a coincidence. That's on Bielsa, as he demanded too much from the players not only the day of the game but on the training days as well. And lets not forget by the time Jesse arrived Leeds United was a ship sinking in the middle of the North Sea with the most goals conceded team in the whole Premier League losing so badly too many games with Bielsa.

He just wants players who are better than what is currently here and he's aware of how much the club have spent already (£130m on the squad was the figure he used). Bielsa said that on the basis of prior investment, it wouldn't be fair for him to demand anything of Leeds (which is not to say they won't make signings in January). Says Leeds have been "so responsible in the construction of the squad."

Eddie is Leeds United, what a man

Next season will probably be another struggle, but even if Leeds sell a few of their best players, they should still be able to compete with Fulham, Bournemouth, Notts Forest/Huddersfield and Everton (with their huge debts), so even 16th or 15th would be an improvement. I feel that survival for all the clubs with less resources mainly depends on how many points they can take from the 12 games against the so-called 'big 6'. This season Leeds lost all 12 of those matches, conceding 47 goals and scoring just 8. Those 38 points came from the other 26 games. They surely can't do any worse in those 12 fixtures next season?

The biggest issue at Leeds was not the manager, it was the almost non existent squad depth. Bamford the only genuine striker at the club misses the majority of the season with injury, straight away regardless of who the manager is, you are screwed. Firpo was complete toilet for both managers and would have been the same under any manager in the PL. Surely people are not so short sighted to just presume Jesse Marsch must be a good manager because he kept them up by finishing 17th and that Bielsa can't be that good because they were struggling this season? All PL sides need at least two decent players for each position and Leeds simply don't have that. Sure they have some talented players, but it's still a threadbare squad that can't cope with injuries.

Very interesting that Eddie Gray said that the Bosrd wanted to sign players, but it was Bielsa that didn’t! This is different to what other media outlets/KZread vids have reported.

I could tell Eddie that i have a billion pound and offered to buy a new first team but Marcelo rejected. Doesnt make it true. Radrizanni knows how much Eddie is respected by all the fans, so gives him this line about wanting to buy players so that when he says it, fans will believe it and makes board look good. Thats my opinion on it anyway

Thanks Simon you wanted Leeds to survive. I like you even better now

Love you Eddie!

Marcelo Bielsa said he only wants to sign players in January who are better than we already have, if Leeds can't find better than James as a striker, Klick in midfield and about seven others we should give up now. Eddie, you clearly didn't know Bielsa.

Dan James is a good player.But not a striker I never understood that one.It was like he was saying,this is what I have to work with.

Got to thank Brentford for collapsing and luck certainly was on our side for that match. Great to see Eddie 🕺🕺🕺🕺

Eddies a good guy, see him sometimes on the 36 bus

Yep I am sure Bielsa wanted to have 15 and 16 year olds as subs.

Eddie is a legend and is entitled to his opinion.

Leeds fans incredible at Emirates this season.

Eddie is a such a gent...he was never booked in his playing career despite playing in the side labelled as "Dirty Leeds".

Bielsa said that he did not want to sign any players to protect the owners and the average players they were willing to sign... he wanted DePaul...what happened to him? so on...

Bielsa was a very honourable man and would never bad mouth anyone or speak out against the Board of Directors. There was a genuine communication problem which didn't help the situation, unlike Marsch and being a typical Yank! As much as I admire Eddie Gray I don't believe what he says about Bielsa not wanting to buy because the Directors had told him so. I read Phil Hay's book on Bielsa and he clearly writes that Bielsa wanted to keep Ronaldo Viera at the time we wanted to buy Bamford from Middlesborough, but we had to sell Viera to Sampdoria to raise the money to buy Bamford 7 million which is nothing by todays standards! Says it all about the Board and a lot about Bielsa that he never complained or highlighted the true position about buying and selling at Leeds but just accepted it. Guilty conscience I think with the statement Radzz put out yesterday immediately after the game! He knows where the blame lies.....and it's not at Bielsa's feet.

@@smartiedj you are right about Vieira - Bielsa did not want him to go and was frustrated. We never replaced him either, no midfielders were signed apart from Bate this season. That said, we didn’t have the revenue streams at the time, in terms of PL TV money, kit and shirt sponsorship etc. Would love to see Vieira return, he’s at Verona on loan from Sampdoria. Last year of his contract but Verona have an option to buy, maybe they don’t take that up and we can get him on a free :)

@@smartiedj your forgetting Bielsa has walked out on numerous clubs in the past because he didn’t get his own way. Leeds wouldn’t had been any different. The board accepted this and allowed him to have his small squad. Your choosing to not believe what you want to. Everything you’ve said is your own speculation yet your saying it as fact. I’m not convinced on Jesse but the FACT is that the right decision has been proven to have been made. Bielsa was sending us down. Seems like no matter what the board do or say you will disagree with. Radz took us over and took us back to the prem. I don’t believe he got everything right this year but I also acknowledge what he’s done for us. His message was spot on, he knows this season wasn’t success and he’s said that they’ll be working hard to strengthen the squad, what else do you want from him?!?!

Why do they keep saying that Bielsa didn't want new signings? Bielsa said it more than once in his press conferences: new signings, yes, but new signings that were better than what he already had. Quality over quantity. And he did say yes to Aaronson, but the board couldn't make it happen, for whatever reason.

Bielsa wanted James, seen better kids playing football in my local park. All he wanted was marathon runners, who could keep running and running.
