Haha, only just seeing this email now. I was indeed entirely sceptical because of his time 7 years earlier with Athletic Club - it seemed like a match made in heaven until he kept getting into rows with the then club president and the team was exhausted with 2 cup runs and a small squad…

His post match press conferences here in Spain when he was at Athletic Bilbao were pure comedy - in one of them he looked at the table the whole time and never once at the journalists. _IF_ it works out, the players will be be exhausted and spent by March.

It seems that his renumeration package is not an issue, but more the contractual terms around what he's in control of. I'm still not 100% convinced he is the "one". I think his lack of English is going to be an issue. People point to Pottetchino as an example of successful non English speakers. Correct but there are loads more examples (Puel a very recent one) when it may have been a factor in their failure. Plus Bielsa is a very different kettle of fish, he old at 62 as well. His last 2 jobs have blown up and that was with better squads in the countries top leagues. How are many of our players going to learn a new system in a foreign language in a few weeks? Even if we buy 5 or 6 new first teamers, that's even more issues of integration. I've read lots of admiring articles about his tactic's but hey all also mention a very fiery temperament and I'm not sure that is what's needed. Is there anyone 100% convinced of this appointment who can calm me down? _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: https://emea01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmailman.gn.apc.org%2Fmailman%2Flistinfo%2Fleedslist&data=05%7C02%7C%7Ce96aea76c6fe41a4e0c208ddd5e09c71%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638901882880481937%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=ZOuX03f05ILE2Aurp4DwAvZdsauAUlSMpADTXkcExvE%3D&reserved=0<https://mailman.gn.apc.org/mailman/listinfo/leedslist> To unsubscribe, email [email protected] Find us on Facebook https://emea01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fgroups%2Fleedslist%2F&data=05%7C02%7C%7Ce96aea76c6fe41a4e0c208ddd5e09c71%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638901882880501737%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=QaPLl92adJfSGe08zG1wob6A0drX5WOItWIUvgg1QnY%3D&reserved=0<https://www.facebook.com/groups/leedslist/> RIP Jimmy WAC-COE _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: https://emea01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmailman.gn.apc.org%2Fmailman%2Flistinfo%2Fleedslist&data=05%7C02%7C%7Ce96aea76c6fe41a4e0c208ddd5e09c71%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638901882880517832%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=CAsDmEtkpajdjD%2FDdl%2FEqwcmoYOSqYjXGaVFU8KybiE%3D&reserved=0<https://mailman.gn.apc.org/mailman/listinfo/leedslist> To unsubscribe, email [email protected] Find us on Facebook https://emea01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fgroups%2Fleedslist%2F&data=05%7C02%7C%7Ce96aea76c6fe41a4e0c208ddd5e09c71%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638901882880531549%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=Q24DpPsrs4XusbZ79Ul%2FVufh4veQTH9vIJbgj62fCxg%3D&reserved=0<https://www.facebook.com/groups/leedslist/> RIP Jimmy WAC-COE _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: https://emea01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmailman.gn.apc.org%2Fmailman%2Flistinfo%2Fleedslist&data=05%7C02%7C%7Ce96aea76c6fe41a4e0c208ddd5e09c71%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638901882880545609%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=olGZkzLbdY7SkXBfW4B4FdRmtiEC%2F%2FZA4bRzvYDCBQI%3D&reserved=0<https://mailman.gn.apc.org/mailman/listinfo/leedslist> To unsubscribe, email [email protected] Find us on Facebook https://emea01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fgroups%2Fleedslist%2F&data=05%7C02%7C%7Ce96aea76c6fe41a4e0c208ddd5e09c71%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C638901882880559589%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=nBg9oMOUK%2FZYI8Z%2BpNgPikq43sIOSS2uoisSNC4hMsw%3D&reserved=0<https://www.facebook.com/groups/leedslist/> The Rev, John Lee.
