Because if they can't make money by growing the clubs value that is exactly what they will do.

Or when they put the debt for a new stadium in the club's name and we end up having to sell assets to pay it off?

Some of our fans are very naive about what being owned by the 49ers investment group could.mean

We will always be 2nd best.

We will never be priority

Our primary function will be to generate money for others and for the York Family

LUFC will never be priority
Yep not a fan of having a big debt because of a stadium, like Arsenal and Spurs.

Surely that can wait like 5/10 years?

I hope so, as I think we are going down with or without Bielsa.

Good point,sometimes the best leaders arent noticed until they are missed.

Football has undergone a process of bielsification; pressing and possessing, passing rather than dribbling, intercepting high up the field rather than making last-ditch tackles, are in vogue.

If his contract runs till the end of the season, do they just pay up the balance?
Not much negotiating needed there ?

A decent & honest man, unusual for a coach of PL club,

mentalcase wrote: Sat Feb 26, 2022 5:29 pm If thats aimed at me then say so, I certainly ain't a "keyboard warrior" far from that fella, what I am is, a very very proud LU fan, one who is desperately concerned with relegation AGAIN, Bielsa has taken us as far as he can, even IF, we stay up, which I acknowledge we can, but, Bielsa won't change his style, ever, this squad is too knackered to continue at the rate he dictates, it's also not big enough, although some on here will tell me otherwise.
I thank him for getting us to the PL, but won't thank him for what has happened this season, and before you bore me with injuries, don't bother, that isn't the main reason, Bielsa is.
Just had a chance to reply - been at work.
So calling Bielsa Fatboy is justified is it ??????

Get a life - I am not offering any excuses for Bielsa. On the match thread after the game I expected him to be sacked. The body language of Radz was evident during the game. But what I would never do is resort to abusing Bielsa who has brought back some of the best times we have had for the best part of 20 years. But you choose to abuse him.
Yes I am calling you pathetic. This is not about you feeling strongly for the club, it is about been a self indulgent attention seeker.

All the journalists basically talking like he has gone.

Henry Winter, Max Rushden, James Horncastle, others.

The club are seemingly going to allow these obvious leaks to fester overnight.

They aren't covering themselves in glory the board.

Handling this very poorly.

As soon as the leaks started they should have commented.

Perhaps they will just make an announcement when there is one to be made.
Dont worry you will get the blessed announcement at some point.

At least our away fans will see more games next season if you get your way

I've felt so proud and excited to have him as the manager of Leeds. I'm crying as I write this, so can't say any more.
i never thought it possible to have a soft spot for an another team ,but watching newcastle under bruce was hard.

despite this i followed home and away i took an interest in leeds when marcelo took over.

and during really hard times this man kept me alive , he gave me belief during tough times that the underdog can prevail.

now we have new owners we are on the up , but Marcelo's Leeds are the closest side to the Newcastle entertainers I've ever seen.

all out attack we will beat teams by outscoring them.

beautiful too watch !!!

stay strong.

My worry is that the board have agreed Bielsa’s departure without a firm plan in place for a replacement. Hope we do not have a new coach / manager debacle like Spurs and Newcastle. We have no time to be turned down by 1st, 2nd or third choice options.
I still think we have enough to avoid relegation. One good performance will change the mood quickly. But the board need to act fast and they need to make the right choice.
If John the head groundsman is in charge against Leicester we will be proverbially buggered.
