Bielsa should not have been sacked. With the injuries we had (especially Phillips) we had no real chance of getting points in that last month of his reign when we played so many top teams.
If we’d lost them by the odd goal, he would have stayed, but the goals we shipped spooked the owners. It was painful, but at least our players were giving it a go and being picked-off rather than all sitting behind the ball and being picked-off.
We face a similar run-in now with not much hope of points, but no feeling that our players are good enough to “give it a go”. That’s the difference the loss of MB has put on our club.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Exactly this
Agree completely. If you compare the performances and effort of those hammerings with what we’ve seen the last 5 games, it’s night and day.
His final game against spurs, we created so many chances. Now we can’t string two passes together against teams around us.
In Bielsa we had the right man in place, the balls was as many have said the bod in charge off recruiting!..
It was said that Bielsa was one that he wanted players off his liking to fit a small squad, so, instead off looking to the future with so many youngsters coming in, a little more should have been put forward for Bielsa's players, he might have got what he wanted but he could have got better with his first choices that he seemed to alway's miss out on!..
There were names mentioned that he was looking at that failed at the last moment, so those must have been "his first" choices, so did he really get what he wanted?..
And like has been said and I've said it a lot, returning players at the right time helped Marsch out a lot, if they hadn't returned when they did than he wouldn't have kept us up!..
No reason why Bielsa wouldn't have kept us up if that had happened for him!..
The real problem is that we have a heady mix of egoism, emotional
Immaturity, lack of experience and differing goals within our leadership.
AR is all about AR, Orta flies off the handle none of them know what it takes to progress a football club.
AR didn’t like Bielsa being bigger than him and they worked behind scenes when he was still in place.
The words and photos after Bielsa leaving from our board were disgraceful.
Marsch had no idea he was about to get job at tgat time it was knee jerk reaction and timed appointment.
Marsch had no idea he was about to exit, another emotional decision.
People don’t like dealing with volatile, emotionally immature people.
There is a line between passion and emotional immaturity and AR and Orta are firmly the wrong side of it.

If Gracia isn’t sacked by 10am today - the board has sunk to a new low for me
----------------------------------------------------------------------
FB and twitter is full of stories that The Leeds board are having an emergency meeting today... If we don't hear something by tonight then it's likely they are not going to make a change which to me suggests it's only because no one else will touch us.
What a shambles as yesterday there seemed to be the indication from a very broken and upset tweet from Radz that Gracia would be relieved of his duties as a last chance, roll of the dice to stay up as clearly we don't look like getting another point with JG in charge.
I read all this and weep!
Sacking Gracia? They should be sacking themselves - they are obviously incompetent. What a way to run a PL club! What a way to screw up what could have been, what was, THE most amazing football story. One embarrassment after another. The comment about so many decisions being emotion-driven knee-jerk reactions was very astute - Radrizzani's reference to feeling "broken" suggests that is certainly the case, although I'm sure he's feeling far more broken about all the millions he won't be getting this summer.
Fans overlook or forgive these poor decisions because we love the club (and this management have counted on that) - until the situation becomes absolutely ridiculous, like in the Ridsdale period, like now.
Maybe we have to go down to get shot of Radrizzani? He'll still make a tidy profit, even if he bails out. I can't see the club progressing again under his leadership.
