It was comically bad towards the end though.

it's the same for pretty much every manager ever isn't it? Barring the odd exception of course.

Leeds kept him longer than they should have, or didn't invest enough in the squad..

It was typical Bielsa, he likes players to work themselvesinto the ground but also likes to keep the squad small. The result of that is that eventually the players hit a wall and you end up with injuries and fatigue (which leads to poor form and discipline problems). My only surprise is that it didn't happen sooner. That said I still think he's a fantastic manager but probably shouldn't be in a job for more than about 18months before being replaced by someone who can build on the foundations he sets up.

I'd have him at Villa like a shot.

We'd certainly start fucking moving more.

The season we went up Leeds did us a massive favour by imploding Vs Derby in the semi. Unlike any other side in the Championship, they had our number that year.

I'm going to guess Brentford probably did, too.

Never heard of 11 or 12 but they must be shite being below Solskjaer.

I'd have 1, 2, 3, 7 or 9. Don't know 5, 8, 11 or 12. No thanks to 4, 6 or 10.

Sheff United scored 7 in 2 games against us that season. Norwich did the double. There were a few clubs we only took 1 point off. Brentford, Leeds, QPR for starters.

Benitez, Ranieri, Solskjaer, Bielsa - no thanks. Stankovic - managed one team in the Serbian League. Setien - 25 games in charge of Barcelona during which time he led to them to their highest ever defeat and was mostly rubbish everywhere else.

Well if we had a vacancy and Tuchel, Poch and Zidane fancied a crack, I wouldn't say no to any of them.  It's hard to know how somebody like Zidane would get on at a team which isn't like playing on easy mode though.

Poch and Tuchel have both proven they can get results and improve sides without having vast amounts of money or talent immediately at their disposal (Tuchel at Mainz, and Poch at Southampton and to a certain extent Spurs).  Zidane, not so much.  I think he'd be a gamble, as winning with Real Madrid in Spain is a bit like winning with Rangers in Scotland.  He might be a great manager, but he really might not be.

I think we'd be a really attractive option for a top manager looking for a three-year project, and looking to know he's not going to get the sack for not getting silverwear every season. I think Tuchel would be VERY motivated to prove his premier league credentials, but clearly something went wrong at Chelsea towards the end, but I do think he's capable of building a Klopp-like empire wherever he ends up.

Hopefully our Steven will join that list soon. He doesn't need to stay thank you on his way out.
