I think you need to remove your Bielsa tinted glasses?

Is anything I've stated in relation to Bielsa non factual?

Having supported Leeds for 45 years & grew up in the surrounding area of ER. Then I trust my own judgment when it comes to LUFC.

If you enjoy Leeds paying extortionate salaries for one promotion & a near relegation. As well as watching exciting kamikaze football & taking a few hammerings then fair enough. Personally competing & winning silverware is more my game. Considering it's 34 years since we last lifted a major trophy. Then I'm happy for video game style football to take a back seat thanks.

Based on what you've said in just this one post you cannot ever claim to be a Leeds fan, here's a hint 16 years
Probs not a Leeds fan. Who'd choose that username if they were? It's a very generic/randomised name. Not saying he/she/they isn't but it's a strange one! And coming on then immediately being so blasé. What a Dandy :mwa:

7 posts in and already throwing your weight around? Is that wise? You could have a little more grace. You are not going to make many friends here posting the way that you do. 45 years a fan. That makes you around 52 right?

This is 100% Kenny :lol:

Definitely not a Leeds fan, more of a wind up merchant, starts off by having a go at Bielsa and praising Marsh, he must be Canadian

Here's a hint, 34 years since we last won a major trophy!

You carry on enjoying your Bielsa kamikaze football.
I hope you & the rest of the Bielsa worshippers give Farke the same patience & support should he hit a sticky patch or we end up conceding 5, 6 or 7 goals. Unsure whether the love & loyalty will last as long as it did for Bielsa.

If you spent years banging on about Bert then coming back and doing the opposite would be a decent way of not being rumbled . . . . .

Regarding Marsch my personal view is that he was harshly treated by the fans & club after only 20 games in. Not forgetting he also lost Raphina & KP. Radrizzani later admitted it was a mistake, So how are my comments so far off the mark?

Look what Marsch has done with Canada in just a couple of years? His American bluster might be annoying but deep down I feel he is a good manager.

Farke and Bielsa aren't even comparable

As people
Managers
Tactics
Situations they arrived here in.

Swap managers over and give them eachothers squad only one achieves what the other did if not better.

Completely different situations.

If anything DF owes Bielsa a lot, no Bielsa, no parachute payments, no elite level squads to get promotions.

Never faultless MB but their times here aren't similar.

Jesus... How long are the plaudits for Bielsa going to go on for ?? I can see it now, Farke wins the PL in 2028 but oh it was down to Bielsa. We get relegated next season then it all down to Farke.

You guys have got the same hang up over Bielsa as the scummers had when whisky nose retired. No manager has a chance at ER with the spectre of Bielsa constantly looming.

Hey big man! Nobody here is blowing smoke rings up Bielsa's arse! Play the game man. You're very agressive and if it persists, I'd wager your stay here will be short. You obviously know what you are talking about for the most part. Maybe calm your boots a little hey fella? :tup:

What have I said that's incorrect?

Bielsa getting us promoted did allow Farke not one but two of the most expensive squads in Championship history and a much stronger Premier League base

Bielsa and Farke are total opposites on basically every level.

Nothing I've said is untrue.

Nothing aggressive & nothing to cool off about. Just a bit more of a perspective & balance when it comes to the apparent legacy of Bielsa.

Let's move forward & agree to disagree when it comes to Bielsa. I'm happy for us to win the PL with consecutive
1-0 wins. Most on here maybe happy to just to see entertainment. After 34 years we cannot be choosy & that's a fact.
