“It’s understood Leeds United are considering a draft of a contract sent by ex Argentina & Chile boss Marcelo Bielsa who is in talks to become the #lufc new head coach. The draft was sent in the early hours of this morning. Bielsa’s camp say “the ball is in Leeds United’s court."

I’m sorry for 4m Euros or £3.6m quid ish that is £70k a week we can’t spend on player wages!!!
I put on Facebook last week that I thought he was just using us as a PR excercise, he’s actually milking us.
I doubt Rafa Benitez would have been on much more when The Magpies we’re down here.
This has now completely turned for me, for the worse. This seems like a super expensive quick fix that won’t work, Wolves worked because they already had the majority of players bedding in during the previous season. I know AR is now our guy but he seems to be being completely led up the garden path.
I’m genuinely worried about where we even get the money to fund player additions on top of this.
Really disappointed that this is a even bigger gamble than I thought with our club.

Too late to worry about it as social media is lighting up and internet is breaking. Argentinian news and sports mags reporting contract done, work permit confirmed contract agreed yesterday so just needs club to confirm?

One year contract? That will get some people hot under the collar if true....
Boom or bust methinks.

Radz can’t win with some!
They want him to show ambition. He gets one of the most respected coaches in world football but they think paying him a decent salary is madness.
It’s a pittance if he gets us up. Also maybe his coaching might enable us to keep a few of the players that he thinks he can make better or ones that he thinks will fit into his system of playing.
It’s reported as a one year deal with an option for a second year. So if things go well we keep him. If not we release him.
Remember also that he’s well respected by a few top managers who might be very willing to loan him some of their fringe players. I’m thinking a Man City for starters.
Let’s get this party started

Sounds like it’s done and some of the players linked are from City.
