Surely he is worth a punt for a short term solution? Attacking minded manager who plays entertaining football. He's got some farmers at Leeds to play proper football.

We have a £23m release clause.
He refuses to move mid-season due to previously mentioned fitness levels / wanting a pre season.
Knows he is the absolute undisputed King of Elland Road.
Would he swap that for being hamstrung by board members / politics.
He has literally no politics to deal with at our club, we moved heaven and earth to bring him to us.
Hopefully we'll see you next season and you can see what a Worldie of a Manager looks like, you haven't had one since Blue Nose.

I'm 100% certain he wouldn't even entertain the idea if you came calling, its not how he operates

Not a chance. He doesn't go mid season to anyone, waited until the season was over before even entering talks with us. Then they went on for a month before he decided. I really doubt he'd go to Man U anyway. Not his style, he's more of a footballing romantic, not someone who wants to manage a brand with a huge sense of grandeur from their fan base.

he'd have to get rid of most of your farmers to get man utd playing like leeds.

blokes a miracle worker.
genuinley cant believe how good the coaching is (bang average players look great)
the football is brilliant, dominate games
he likes clubs where the locals are the main stay of the club
leeds, bilbao, marseille, newells old boys etc
wouldnt go to them as it would be against all his footballing principles, hes a footballing romantic, not a money driven fella.

Something some fans don't seem to understand when they compare Klopp to Pep and Jose totally different circumstances outlooks and priorities.

wouldn't work. You can't bring in a manager like that mid season. If you read the stories of the leeds pre-season he was putting them through their paces to get them ready for the high press high intensity style that he deploys. You need a full preseason to do that. You can't come in half way through and try to retrain the fitness levels to a style at the complete opposite of what they've been doing.

That's great prep for you should you come up this season. You'll be versed in a playing style that will help you in the pl.

Bielsa has turned a team of misfits into the best side in the division. The players are fitter, sharper, confident and better than last season, we were the worst team for shots, chances, passing and possession last season, this season we top the lot. He's done this is 4 months with 10 million quid, not 2 seasons and half a billion. That's proper special one right there.

Go shove yourselves, toilet lickers. Bielsa has principles - he has a contract and is here to stay for that contract unless Leeds United screw him over or sack him

As someone said, Bielsa’s a football romantic. The kind of guy that would start off in the Vanarama North if he was playing Football Manager and end up winning the Champions League with the same club 10 seasons later.
He’s not a Yes man and definitely not a corporate guy, so he’d hate working at Utd and probably resign within a season.
