Cheers for that and all Leeds fans have everything crossed but our record against the top 6 this season of no points and 47 goals conceded and only 8 goals scored is truly shocking and possibly the worst in Premier league history and it is that that will ultimately be our undoing unless we can pull off some great reserection of Lazarus proportions.

Total neutral, but hope you stay up as well. Top flight is better with clubs like Leeds in it (no offence, Burnley).

Always wondered if Corberan was being developed as heir apparent to MB.

Huddersfield were smart to hire Corberan. And Corberan
was smart to adapt his system. It should be a very good
final between them and Forest. As good as he's been for
them though, I'd like to see Forest back in the top flight.

Regarding the relationship between Bielsa and Corberan, it's sad to note that in the end it was the pupil who showed the tutor the way forward.

I'm not sure that you can say that at this stage.

Bielsa transformed a team to playoff at first attempt, champions at second and amazing finish in third.

And in the fourth? Whilst there has been much speculation about what went on behind the scenes, I do feel his legacy been damaged.

Wilko, I do as well, but Corberan still in champ, has a bit of a way to go before you can say he's taught Bielsa a thing or two.

Yup would rather Leeds and Everton stayed up too...Watford should not be allowed near EPL lol

For me his legacy remains. Okay so this season went a bit sour, but what he did previous bought him far more credit with me. Not just on the pitch - his demeanour and conduct off it. Won't see his like too often. It was those idiosynchrosies that made the guy - possibly undid him in the end, but they were the thing about him that made him unique.

Getting rid was right and wrong at the same time. Worst aspect of the season in my mind, whatever the outcome may be.

I think that Bielsa only willing to sign one year contracts was a major factor. I think he knew this to be his last season, and what was offered up in January were Marsch’s or 49ers picks. In hindsight, new man should have come in in January or not at all.

Correrán has taught Bielsa the value of adapting. The evidence is there if what happens when you don’t get adjust or adapt, and the statistics back it up. if you teach a sport like cricket also, that willingness is essential if there is to be any improvement.

With respect to achievements, starting out in the middle of a pandemic with training restrictions and without crowds is argueable not helpful. He has proven himself second season in more than sufficient manner. I am 100% sure that exactly like Pep Guardiola and Mauricio Pochettino, he has examined areas of Bielsa’s coaching methods which he felt needed adjusting or adding to.

I have said many times, had Bielsa been willing to adapt to the unfortunate circumstances we have had to endure with injuries, but more pertinently, to the fact that other teams becoming familiar with and confident about countering Bielsa’s approach to the game.

Some other teams adapated specifically to us
and several mangers openly admitted that they had taken this into account when they play Leeds.
Adapting style and approach is critical, but Bielsa was unwilling, and seemingly relaxed about losing games 4,5,6,7 to nil, without any sense that a change of approach was needed to avoid relegation.

If Huddersfield beat Forest in the final and get promoted, I guess we’ll see, relative to the financial backing Bielsa received, how well he fares in the Premier League.

Good post Ellando, maybe Corberan would be a good replacement for JM as we seem all over the shop at the moment with him whether it's on the touchline or at inerviews ! Plus Corberan knows our players very well.

Personally I don't think there was much wrong with Bielsas system. The difference was we just didn't have the players to fulfill the system this year. Bielsas biggest issue for me was having a small squad.

Hopefully we can put this Corberan showing Bielsa how to do it nonsense behind us now.
