Radz said five years....

Agree with kebab, it’s all about Bielsa. They one VERY good decision, that man has turned a mid table squad into a set of world beaters. Incredible.

Radz, Orta and Kinnear have made far far far more errors than they have good decisions.

I think that's really harsh.

It's been a learning curve for Radrizanni and his team but since the first year, he's learnt from those mistakes. He chose 2 poor managers, Orta signed some players who weren't up to it and they designed a horrible badge. But we shouldn't keep harping back to 2017/18 to judge them.

They made the most ambitious managerial appointment of any Championship club ever. They built the squad that took us up. They bought back the stadium. They engaged with fans and connected the club to the city again. They got category 1 status for the academy. Simply, they made us a proper football club again.

Also, don't think it can be overstated:

They kept Bielsa happy.

This is a manager who left his previous 3 jobs because he didn't feel supported. He feels supported enough here to seemingly stay for a 3rd year.

Done an awful lot more right than wrong. There is no disputing that. To thing otherwise is to ignore the evidence.

Agree with Best here on the club's approach to MB.
They kept MB happy. Huge result that. Saying that,
everyone at the club needs to be commended for
what has just happened. They all did their part.

Balls is people that think Bielsa has done everything on his own!..

He hasn't, but, he is one who knows what's what and we should be happy he's found people that he is more than happy to work with!..

It comes down to AR, his right hand men and Bielsa having what at this moment in time seems to be a good,(great!)working relationship, I'd hate to think of what would have been if Kenny had talked to Bates or Cellino before AR, promotion?......yep, to the lower leagues!..

If AR and Co were no good at what they're trying to do, then there'd be no reason for Bielsa to be here!..

It comes down to a club that has finally found out what football is, and the right people in the right place at the right time!..

Credit goes to the Players for learning Bielsa ball to near perfection, to Bielsa for bringing his way to the club, to the people in Suits for giving him what he wants,(nah, that with his own money isn't his way, he goes cheap and helps develop the Youth system!)he takes normal players and turns them into what we're now seeing!..

Credit should also be given to the normal everyday people around the club that Bielsa seems to think the club couldn't work without, they're part of his team and the club is functioning a hell of a sight better now than before AR!..

Elland Road finally has its football team back!..

Radz is a visionary - he has bedded LUFC back in the community where it belongs. Players know they belong to that wider community as well as LUFC. This is a powerful motivator.
As for Orta and Kinnear, I'm with Kebab on this one. We have done some appalling business in the past few years - JKA, Costa, James, Adams, Nketiah as players we have brought in, or tried to bring in. Roofe and Pontus sold for small change.
As for the contracts we have tied ourselves up with, we could be paying off players for years without them touching a ball for us.
I would gladly swap Orta for the guy who does his job at Brentford.

I said some time ago that the first signing we should make isn't a player, but whoever does the scouting/identifying of talent at Brentford. They seem to find pearls each season.

Lots raved about JKA and Costa. James was just Swansea playing Club politics.

Costa, to me, will be ok in the Prem. Not sure why he’s bad business. Even at £15m it’s chicken feed now we have promotion.

JKA is a strange one. Did Bielsa want him? He certainly shed the weight in lockdown which suggests he wanted in. Now we will see what the contract really said. Could be embarrassing for someone if we are forced to sign him whilst he’s crocked.

Eddie was t played by Bielsa because he didn’t fit our style. Question is who identified him? Do we know?

Love it when people always give Augustin grief, I don't think anyone,(should I say most?)around here know anything about him!..

He was meant to be used and had an injury, while recovering the coaching staff did overtime on him, they and the players all said in training he was great, plans were to use him in the run in which he had got up to fitness for, but injury again put pain to that!..

But whatever people here think, I've talked to lots here who support lots of different teams and they all reckon he can do a job!..

A good mate of mine, HSV fan who's been keeping close tabs on Leeds because of Bielsa,(he wants him to manage HSV!)he says he's never seen Augustin looking so fit!..

He thinks Bielsa would get a lot from him!..

I think if the club are forced to keep him they'd be best of giving him that chance that injury didn't, he just might surprise a few!..
