Marcelo Bielsa

[Lumiukko]

Yes, very nice words from Pep. This is definitely a game to just sit back and enjoy some of the best football the planet has to offer with Pep up against Bielsa. A game for the purists.

[HarryofOz]

Perfectly put Pep.

[Mountain]

Bielsa is one of the greatest managers of all time. We are incredibly lucky that a genius has decided that Leeds United will be his masterpiece, the culmination of a decades long obsession with football perfection. Guardiola has the good grace to admit this. I don't know if Leeds will beat Man City this weekend, it's a bunch of Championship players taking on one of the most expensively assembled squads ever. But because of Bielsa, I think we might, and if we don't we will fail playing some of the finest football ever. These are truly remarkable times.

Very well said Mountain...was the reason why I was saying earlier this week...I would love Citeh to put out the full 1st team squad against our best team...a Bielsa/Pep showcase...a real purist's game...TBH I am not really bothered about the score I just want a classic game that all will be talking about Saturday night and many years to come.

When they have nothing else to say they just end up trotting out the same uninformed tripe.

It's just been overtaken...please let this be true...

Another Brighton player who wishes he played for us

[Cumbriarents]

What a challenge these last few years have been for him and i bet he has loved every minute. We are the envy of every other team in the league having the great Bielsa

[Smudge3920]

He explains things so well...
.

[1964white]

Leeds manager Marcelo Bielsa has held talks with the club over a new contract and is "not considering alternatives."

He reiterated he would decide his future after the final game of the season, at home to West Brom on Sunday.

"The evaluation of the continuity of a manager is such a delicate decision," he said.

But he added: "I can't not say I have revised with the authorities of the club all the variables that means to carry on.

"I am not considering any alternative option. I am being sincere, I do not have alternative options."

[Mountain]

I can't not say I have revised with the authorities of the club all the variables that means to carry on.

Even when I don't understand him, I love him.

[1964white]

Even when I don't understand him, I love him.

Yes whatever the great man you have to love him

This is one of those periods in life when you think you know how lucky you are, but you won’t realise just how lucky for years to come.

I'm always nervous now around this time...he's irreplaceable, probably the best manager in the division and one day he'll walk away.... Until he signs I'm not going to think about it...but we need 2 more seasons at least

... concur Faaip...this is the make or break point for greatness or just being a Prem league club...2 more years... then I think he will go back to 1 year contracts.
