    Stuck Sky sports mix on ready for match and ut is a programme on Bielsa.

    Regardless of what you think of Leeds, it just featured the training ground purpose built facility at Newells Old Boys which cost 2 million. Bielsa personally funded it to give something back to the club and community. Fair play to that I say..

    I had him down as a bit above himself with not even trying to learn the English language, but things like this show not to judge a book by it's cover...

    Just read Nigel Pearson after failing in his job at Watford and getting sacked will still receive his 1 million quid bonus. Ridiculous.. Bet he doesn't put that back into the community!

    Pearson just strikes me as an angry, shouty man. Bielsa is class personified, and far too good for Leeds.

    Nigel Pearson didnt fail they weren't in the relegation zone when he was sacked.

    Bielsa is sound. Only thing I like about Leeds tbh!

    I don’t like Pearson at all but if they stay up, it is definitely because of him. Look how adrift they were when he took over.

    Bielsa has certainly done a great job at Leeds. I can see him establishing them in the premier league to be honest. He’s also playing a strong team tonight, which I was dubious about.

    Bielsa is a great guy.
    We all saw this when he allowed (Villa?) to score that easy goal last season.
    Great city Leeds.
    Good club - except it drags so many from Barnsley to follow them - hence reason I don’t like them.

    Surely he’s not getting it if they go down, which looks likely now.

    Why not since losing against Man city was out of his hands?

    Bielsa is a top, top gaffer. I'm shocked no one in the Premier League took a punt on him before Leeds did.

    Well, because they might not have stayed up. I thought the bonus was for keeping them up..

    He can't keep them up if he's no longer manager!
