Before Bielsa no Leeds fans thought he’d be more than an average championship midfielder

When owners think they can replace a well liked and performing manager it almost never works.

We’ll be back down imo unless a good sporting director comes in. Not convinced of Farke’s credentials up there either.

Does it suggest a lot about the quality of the Championship that Dan James is ripping it to shreds?

I actually fail to understand how Hughes wasn’t sacked within the first couple of months you were taken over.

I did edit my earlier post to reply about the CEO/DOF comparison with Cellino. The good thing about our current owners is they want to build a robust setup behind the scenes where we have a DOF, Technical Director, Head of Recruitment and a full scouting network all working together. They don’t...

Strangely I remember being jealous of yous (and Derby) around that time as you were having a spell where you made a couple of top 6 finishes. I thought you had everything in order.

I’ve compared Chansiri to Cellino before. Everyone on the outside could see Leeds were a shit show under Cellino (I’m sure any poster here who took interest in football below the PL can testify), but yet there were plenty of Leeds fans that backed him and labelled protestors as a disruptive...

Man Utd fan linking it back to the Glazers

Another W for the EFL’s Fit and Proper Person’s test.

Probably wasn’t. Before Bielsa we didn’t think he’d make it at Championship level. Actually worth noting that just around the time Phillips was about to break out of the academy, Cellino was trying to destroy the academy (firing all the staff, draining the pool etc.)

Said “yeah he did very good” but in an extremely sarcastic tone of voice. Then asked if he’ll play again and replied “we’ll see”

If you need a good idea of the quality of this league, well…

I still can’t understand how a team with Piroe, Gnonto and Summerville failed to score once against you at home. I think Farke is a great appointment for us.

Reminds me a lot of Cellino does Chansiri.

Tbf we wasted the first 3 games sorting out various player situations (Gnonto, Sinisterra, Adams). We’ve since brought in players and the team is starting to look good.

Like us with Bielsa then

From a Leeds fan’s point of view in the 2020/21 season he was one of the best DM’s in the league imo and one of our most important players who we were justified in placing a high price tag for. Even though the 2 seasons prior were in the Championship he looked so good no one doubted he’d step up...

The logic is they’ve both won promotion from the Championship.
