Who'd have thought a successful Spanish manager could bring a generally greater Spanish influence to the club. 9D thinking for sure.

Contrast with the short term-ism at Wolves who have been built on sand for a few years now.

I read on their forum yesterday someone say exactly the same but the other way around, our owners were only interested in the 'now' but Fosun's plan was long term.

The fucking thick twats.

I'd love to see their working out on that.

I fucking wouldn't.

Its all quite simple really, get desperate in January and agree to take a player on loan that they don't really need, then agree to pay £40m in the Summer to keep him for real. Its brilliant long term thinking.

This after buying a 12 year old who got 4 in 50 (or something like that) for a similar fee who's now loaned out to Belgium.

Some of the transfer fees involving them need to be seriously looked at in light of the Juventus stuff.

On MOTD the other night the commentator mentioned that Leeds had a £40m striker on the bench. Really? Never heard of him. He sounds about as useful as a late-career Tommy Brolin rocking-up in Yorkshire to test the pies and puds in the mid-90s.

I listened to a Leeds pod the other night (I revel in other clubs’ misery) and they were moaning about this chap and the one who sued them. £70m flushed down the toilet for no discernible benefit apparently. Lol.

I think the £40m bloke has been branded good enough for the under 21s by Big Fat Sam.

Was it The Square Ball?

I listen to that. It’s genuinely very funny and well made.

The ‘propaganda’ episodes where they take the piss out of other clubs podcasts is absolutely brilliant.

No, it was Leeds That. I’ll give that one a try later.

There's a clip they play on The Villa Podcast of a Leeds podcast playing a clip of them saying "Leeds are a well coached, well drilled team but they've got shit players" and them not agreeing with it (that was difficult to type).

It's from a little while back when Bielsa was there but it was so, so true.

Yes, I thought that might be it.
