Bielsa Failed

Bielsa's target at the start of the season was to reach the playoffs. He narrowly missed autos and finished 3rd. This compared to finishing 13th last season and with basically the same players. I would suggest he has worked a minor miracle. We have played great football that's been a pleasure to watch with a threadbare squad. With better backing to address our weaknesses, namely in converting chances to goals, I believe we will nail autos next season.

Failure? Some people talk utter bollox!

Kept Wood and signed James in January and maybe even either you would be PL now.

That's not Bielsa, that's the hierarchy.

Bielsa has been such a breath of fresh air to the championship compared to the likes of Pulis, Rowett et al, hope he stays.

Btw I think Frank like it or not and the Swansea coach try to play expansive football in a league that is usally considered get out of it by any means possible, ie negative.

Wilder deserved the manager of the year for the double promotion but they will struggle.

Wood refused to play after Burnley came in for him, and that was season before last.

It was the Swansea hierarchy who shafted the James deal.

Wilder didn't do a double promotion, they were in the Championship last year. Thought you may have noticed as they played you twice.

Apart from that, spot on.

I knew as soon as I typed that I'd be pulled up on it, fair enough but he did get them a double promotion with a consoladation season but they did knock at the door last season.

Swansea were well within their rights then to pull the plug, at the end of the season they still had a chance.

As for Wood, I got that one badly wrong but I still have had (wood) since Wednesday and Burnley brightly.

Apart from that, spot on.

Not really. Swansea's owner agreed a deal with Leeds for James. Their employee, Huw Jenkins, wanted to stick two fingers up at them before he quit/got sacked.

He let James travel to Leeds for 3 days. Contract sorted, medical sorted. Then he turned his phone off and let the poor f#cker kick his heels at ER from 3pm till deadline.

It was a disgraceful way to treat a player. If you think that was the fault of Leeds then you're wrong too. And Swansea didn't pull the plug it was a rogue employee.

If you're allowed consolidation periods between promotions Warnock must have won loads of manager of the year awards. And I mean out of all the leagues, not some $hite 3rd tier Notts County bollox.

I still haven't figured our your comment about expansive football. Are you really suggesting Derby and Swansea were the only teams to play this in the Championship? 'cause that'd be total bollox too.

You're a clown. A playoff final clown maybe, but still a clown.

I don't see anywhere that Igor has said that ONLY Derby and Swansea play expansive football. Mist of what Igor has said is spot on.

*most

I'm not sure either, but why refer to just Derby and Swansea? And he isn't spot on with the most of what he posted, he's even admitted that himself.

I honestly don't know why I bother opening articles by Promotion FFS...

and I really can't be a8sed to comment anything either, other than to say, Promotion you really a fool, you really are
