Marcelo Bielsa

So this means that roughly 63% of the voters are morons.

Seriously.

Could there be any doubt?

I know right...seems like every manager must have got a vote or two some how...

Either that or Chelscum or Man Utd fans ..........oh , same thing isn't it

Mind you , w**k Wankhard should be considered , look how low he took Chelscum , must be worth some award . Maybe not low enough I guess .

In all likelihood the media people will vote for Pep because all they see are trophies (maybe they should read a few of Peps quotes first).

But we can do our part.

Vote for MB for Manager of the Season.

Taking all bias out of it.

David Moyes fully deserves his nomination, despite bottling it a bit in the end 6th is still a very impressive season for West Ham.

Brendan Rodgers deserves his nomination although i wouldn't say he should win it. 5th is still an impressive season for Leicester but throwing away top 4 again ruins it somewhat imo.

Pep Guardiola- He won the league, he will get nominated just for that. Tbf City were in great form after a very difficult start, deserves credit for turning that around. But a team like City should never start how they did, if he wins the award then it fails to take into consideration the really poor form City had at first ?

Ole Gunnar Solskjær for me he is the most lucky to be nominated. This isnt LUFC bias i just dont see why the man with the 2nd most expensive squad should win an award for finishing 2nd? You dont get any trophies for that, it isnt an unexpected thing. I suppose credit for their away form but compared to the other nominees i think his case is the weakest?

Marcelo Bielsa, best goal difference and points total for a newly promoted side in decades despite an injury crisis that rarely got mentioned. Top of the points per £ spent table. Top of the Squad cost vs league position table.

Bias aside as a coach getting the most out of what he had Bielsa is the clear winner here surely?

Incredible man.

As I've stated before, Marcelo will leave a legacy behind at Leeds, so the next manager can continue on with his methods.

[Smudge3920]

Incredible man.

Absolute bloody legend ....

Wonderful

Kinnear told BBC Radio Leeds: "Marcelo decided not to return home to Argentina this summer. Some of his coaching staff have.

“He wanted to stay at Elland Road, he wanted to prepare, he wanted to work with Victor and I on the transfer window and oversee, to the training ground director's delight, the training ground work that took place. As normal with Marcelo, putting pen to paper he sees as an irrelevance. It's really emotionally and psychologically where he is. He's certainly with Leeds United for the next season.

“We agreed the terms several weeks ago, several months ago perhaps. The measure we use within the club is whether he is engaged, is he working on next season.

“He is, he's working and is incredibly diligent. I'm not sure there's any other manager in the Premier League who is taking no time off and is not leaving the training ground. That shows his commitment. I'm treating the contract as a formality.”

[Cjay]

The boss has never left the city never stopped working, he will be here next season

[whiteswan]

How lucky are we

You just have to love Marcello

[Finnatic]

Since I heard this an hour ago, I can’t stop smiling

What an amazing fella

[Cjay]

Its incredible given his age.

Its incredibly tiring and stressful being a Premier league manager.

Bielsa will be the oldest manager in the league next season.

No rest, no time off, didnt go home to see his family (although i heard they came to see him).

I dont think he will ever retire, what would he do? It would drive him insane all that time.

[1964white]

Wow! we struck lucky when we signed up Marcelo three years ago

Total ambition, dedication & loyalty beyond the call of duty.

[Currie14]

Full of love and admiration for this incredible human being.

[Mountain]

Incredible man.

Great news for this team.

He'll be there when they're under 12!

I cant remember who it was (probably in this tread somewhere) but i do remember someone (maybe a journalist or ex footballer/manager) saying that "it's bad for English football".

This was back in MB's first season when us and Norwich were battling it out near the top of the Championship, Norwich managed by German Daniel Farke.

Well
