Hope the board are smart enough to stick with him if we get off to a bad start and not panic immediately about relegation.

Should we stay up, I imagine it will be hard for the club to keep Bielsa for a second Prem season with other offers likely to come his way.

Also be interesting if Marcelo finally attempts an interview in English, but not likely to happen on Sky with than tabloid hack Geoff Shreeves trying to sack a manager in every interview

A rare breed indeed, a humble and compassionate man. A refreshing counter to some of the inflated egos within the industry.

That is a beautiful piece MW and sums up fabulously just how I, and many my age, feel about this great achievement.

Bielsa is a wonderful man and a proper legend!

Bielsa seems to live modestly.
Reminds me of Jack Charlton, who lived in a semi-detached in Leeds during the Don Revie era.

If only the woman in the clip had then started to walk again we would have known he truly is the Messiah. I still believe!
