Rumours he's due to resign.

Norman Hunter never offered to resign.

He better check his door handle for Novichok.

But Biesla is a serial quitter!

posted on 16/1/19

It wouldn't surprise me if he resigns. The guy is absolutely crackers and has made radical decisions like this before.

"Marcelo Bielsa has called a press conference for 5pm, where he is expected to name the Derby County lineup for tonight's match v Southampton."

He could do worse.

you actually have to admire the integrity of the response, and the thoroughness, it's almost a lesson in football management.

easy to see why Leeds are where they are now, although if the EFL deem this to be cheating...

I think Leeds have handled this superbly.

Agreed 9earchange.

Some of the things mentioned from the conference, relayed by a Leeds fan at work:

Biesla is proving that watching training doesn't give him a advantage. He is showing journos how he scouts games and they are all going through is 300 hours of derby research

what % of formations you play

what formations create the most chances v derby

what % of the pitch you commit the most fouls

the average pace and running yards for each players

analysis of your last 200 games

Clips of each player including Lowe in an 18s game

Showing a 41 min vid of derby attacking and counter attacks that they condense to 10 mins per player

4 hours to analysis on each game....

He has watched every harry wilson and jack marriot game from the last 3 seasons.

Said he woke up at 3am and realised he missed one season of wilson at age 17...

Now onto how many minutes each derby player plays in each position over their career. then just their derby career and how many chances they have created.


That is absolutely meticulous and he does this for every match! It made me wonder, how much research / 'spying' is conducted by British coaches ? Would they be as extensive?

I think only a small % would be that thorough for their match preparations.

If it is not a form of cheating then why isn't every club allowed to have an employee monitor an opponents training a week before we play them? Bielsa didn't need to watch Derby train but sent a spy TWICE!!!

Makes me laugh. If a bloke is that meticulous then why does he feel he needs to spy? Doesn't make sense. Like also...why has he never managed in the Prem if hes that good???

He's never even won anything, I think the OCD kicks in and panics so plays the walk card by any means.

The Marsaille one was a strange one.

I really liked this part of Bielsa's comments today:

"I don't want to compare my behaviour with the past. I've heard that there are other behaviours that effect the fair play but I absolutely do not want to defend myself by attacking others. I don't want to point to any other situation that is not linked to my responsibility."

Every team in the land knows now how Derby play. Bielsa has facked with Lampards head massively here and Bielsa doesnt give a fack either.

Jonny, on a day when we should be celebrating Bielsa at Leeds you are making lowly comments like this which are completely unrelated to the article or anyone’s comments here. What’s the need?

Just asking, If people insist on having provocative names, then it is fair game.

I know your views on this, do you really want to reignte it with me? As a fellow Leeds fan, I would hope you prefer not to, as I prefer not to.

Well said, his name opened up the Avenue. Jonny is correct here.

Everyone has a right to choose whatever names they wish for themselves as long as it’s not insulting or illegal surely - be it freegaza, Free Israeli, Free the monkeys.... who cares.

Anyway leave you guys to it.
