5 stars from me, great article!
Re Philosophy, culture or you could say knowing your why...(see Simon Sink;s YouTube video on start with why), this is where you should start.
Define the culture, what you stand for, your identity.
Have we really done that?
What was our philosophy under Heck?
You are right, seduced bytes Bielsa years, the football, the improvement in players, but also all the attention that comes with it.
Just look at man u, at how hard they have had to work, how much they have had to spend, to create and sustain success and how hard it is to follow that up with next manager.
I completely agree with these long contacts and have long said that we spend far too much time and resources on bringing in young players when we have to stabilise and grow our bread and butter, which is the first team.
Poveda is hugely symbolic of our issues.
Hyped upon arrival, justified because of where he'd come from, takes a places from a player who could have come through and have way through a 4 and a half year contract has delivered nothing.
One doesn't expect a 100% hit rate, but one does expect a hit rate, we just don't have that with Orta.
The appointment of Bielsa was hailed as a masterstroke.
It would have been much more of a masterstroke if they'd have done that a year earlier instead of choosing TC and Heck ahead of Bielsa.
These owners can't keep living on getting it right once in a sea of getting it wrong time and time again and being so out of touch they came up with the team badge that was the laughing stock of the entire world.
Once again, brilliant article, hope all is well!
Not only is our team unraveling, Elland, our club is imploding. All the great work done under the stewardship of Bielsa is quickly disintegrating. As you rightly point out, it’s not about Jesse, it’s about our half-witted, short-sighted and arrogant owners who think they know about football. Without Bielsa, we see them for what they are.
Wish I could disagree with your analysis, but you are correct in everything you say. Five stars from me.
An excellent article Elland and five stars from me. Also outstanding comments from Jonty and Marschian.
My concern is that the owners will dither and we'll have more of the same until we're entrenched in a relegation battle. I'm expecting no points from Liverpool and Spurs away, so a win at home to Bournemouth is an imperative, even at this stage of the season.
My view is that Marsch is not the man to get us up the table and needs to be replaced asap. Unfortunately, I believe the owners will do nothing until we are cast adrift in the bottom three by the end of January.
5 stars again from me, Elland.
