Bielsa - Adjustments to language,connecting with Fans & living Up North ?

[WTF11]

It would be an objective view if EVERYTHING you posted wasn't so utterly negative.

Its not, you just choose to view it that way, maybe more your problem than mine?

erm I was joking WTF lol

Touchy aren't you Jez? The "conditionality" of your statement was referred to only in the context of all the "what ifs" about our new coach, not about whether you use such statements or not.

I'm not making concrete statements either, simply assessing risk (part of my professional life), and providing some options based on that. And just to make you even happier, as i dont believe im either soothsayer or fortune teller (careful about "prophets"!) I don't think it will work out.

Objective means you don't see something from a personal point of view

Wouldn't it be nice to have one post just for once that focuses on the topic posted and doesn't degenerate into a WTF or Marley vs everyone else, it's getting really very tedious now and we're all to blame.

Most threads seem to morph into something different now anyway. You generally have to look back to see what the original post was about. Could be an 'age' thing with thoughts wandering a little.

Tell you what HO, read Joel's hilarious post below and see who is calling who. F00king MOT? Don't make me laugh.

yeah but you have a pop at most of us you had a pop at me and Clive over nothing ...

Precisely, its nothing personal. I don't dislike Bielsa, I don't know him well enough to do so, I just don't think he has the credentials to do the Leeds job

HO, you're broadly speaking respectful, Joel isn't.

HO, you're broadly speaking respectful, Joel isn't.

I can't believe you called Hopelessly Optimistic a Ho! How rude and mean tut tut you should know better what with your global network of friends. I frankly find it amazing you find time to grace an Internet forum tbh

Again, the "doom and gloom" label.

It not either, just an objective view and an assessment of the guys credentials as Leeds coch/manager compared to the criteria I think should have been applied. None were, which I think is a mistake.

We will see who has the better judgement (based on last season, that's me!).

As a matter of genuine interest and getting back to original thread topic your stating ..... " compared to criteria I think should have been applied ........... "

Are you suggesting that Leeds an English club should not appoint a non English speaker to be in charge as part of your criteria as it would appear to me that the Spanish connection at the club including Carlos Corberán U23 Coach (a good young coach) could be a modern example of the once successful 'boot room' appointments that were once prevalent at many clubs.Corberán hopefully will benefit from having Bielsa as a mentor as will our talented U23 squad thus setting in place the foundation and philosophy of technically attractive successful football that the better teams play today.

The game today involves many languages including time spent on 'sorce codes' analysis which my husband calls obfuscation which is the deliberate act of creating source or machine code that is difficult for humans to understand but when presented in statistics format can make intriguing reading and that is what Orta uses daily if truth be known as part of his criteria .............
Criteria is an interesting word but has many facets too and I'd love to know what was your ideal criteria for choice of Leeds Coach.
