What does success look like for Bielsa?

posted on 22/1/20

Poor article

Because what ever you say.

Promotion at least doubles the value of the club

"Sky TV cant get enough of LUFC."

Doesn't feel that way this season.

Anyone have a comparison chart of number of times each Championship club has been shown on Sky Tv this season?

I agree that promotion will increase the value and the profile of the club and that is a goal for Radrizanni. I just don't think it is his highest priority. If it was, we would have put in a contingency plan to buy players in January, from the start of the season. Posters have compared our recruitment to Brentford. The Brentford model is aimed at financial growth in the Championship with a good tilt at promotion. The economics of what Brentford do look a lot simpler and more streamlined - buy talent, improve it, sell at a profit and reinvest, play football, win, get promoted. It has worked for Bournemouth, Reading, Norwich, Wigan, Blackburn, and a host of 'smaller' clubs. I just do not think Leeds are like that, do you?

As AR said in 2017, he's in football to develop and sell players, not sure he can be clearer than that.

Or it simply is that he hasn’t much money

Bournemouth has huge money thrown at it

So did Wigan

So did Blackburn

So did reading

Norwich didn’t

So how much money has Radz put into LUFC, LIW? This is what he said in the YEP in October:
"... I invested over £90 million — with this level of money you could own a Europa League club in most of the European leagues, including Italy.

“The club makes losses, in this league it is impossible not to. We are still paying the consequences of my first year because I was inexperienced and we made some expensive mistakes with players.

“But we haven’t stopped investing. Bielsa and his staff cost £6 million [a year], we bought many other players and I think we have a squad to be promoted. It’s financially not sustainable to keep this level of salary which is now over £30 million, probably £33 million with Marcelo and closer to £40 million with the coaches.”
The way he sees it, he has put a huge amunt of money into LUFC, money that would have bought him a Europa League team elsewhere. So why would he put all that money into a mid-Championship club? My argument is that he believes he can sell it at a profit, and milk a fair amount out of it by financial re-structuring. Promotion is a goal, but as I said earlier, I do not think it is his highest priority.

He’s put that money because if we went up club be worth £250m

All because of prem tv money

He couldn’t double his money like you can in England.

Why do you think everyone wants to invest in England and not the rest of the world.

He’s desperate for promotion, just hasn’t the money

And listen to what he actually says

He can’t sustain the losses in the champ.

Think about that
