I think some of you posters who are writing us off unless the cheque book comes out seem to have a strangely benevolent attitude to Bielsa. He took the job after studying all last years games, he had a chance to comment and shape the squad during the summer. He has gone out of his way to make it clear that he doesn't think we need big changes in Jan.

It's easy for you to blame the players for not being good enough, the Chairman for not spending enough money and Orta for not buying the right players. But sooner or later you have to turn your guns in Bielsa. He has not got the record of someone who will sit idly by when he doesn't get what he wants. Although he comes with the reputation of a football genius, he hasn't won anything in club football and he also comes with a reputation as stubborn and resistant to change.

For the record, I'm happy with him and what he and the club are doing . For me it's a 2/3 year plan and not just about this year . When we go up, I'd like us to be able to stay up for a few years and the squad needs to be right for that to happen. Spending money doesn't guarantee success overnight, look at Fulham, over 100 million spent this summer alone and counterbalance that with Leicester's achievement.

Build in the right direction, make this year better than last year, create a style of football that people love and get the right players that add to the team. As I've said before, I'm loving it!

i agree and have been slated for questioning MB, he is a good manager but he is wrong about being able to go up with a small sqaud he underesitmated the challenge of this league and injires cost us. He didn't account for losing two right backs and now puts dallas above coyle and pearce. if he thinks dallas is good enough he didn't watch leeds enough over past few years or is an idiot.

I do think we are going right way and for me that is enoguh but at no point have i thought we will go up, suqad too small and spine too weak.

I agree Spanish, slowly slowly catchee monkey. We MUST give the man time. I do not think our squad is too small (altho one or two Quality additions would not be frowned upon) I do however think that he has been struck with the Managers Disease - "favoritism". His test now is, how long will he persevere when a choice is, quite clearly, not working. How long will he keep trying to fit square pegs into round holes?

If we don’t give a man like Bielsa the time to deliver, then we can just forget about going up. definitely need a bigger squad, with more strength in depth, but that doesn’t happen overnight. That said, I don’t think Radz will even consider chopping Bub, even if we go on a big losing streak.
