    Got to love the guy

    Don't know when this was from (before or after closure of the transfer window), but no matter, just like his straight talking and lack of flannel compared to so many others;

    "Bielsa’s intense playing style is cited as one reason for his lack of silverware and he burns his teams out because of the physical demands he places on them.

    Leeds are holding up well, perhaps a testament to Bielsa’s triple training sessions in pre-season, but the South American says he cannot guarantee they will last the gruelling 46-match Championship season.

    “My answer to this question only has value if we can verify it,” he said. “You would imagine the only answer I can give you is to tell you ‘yes we will’.

    “But we will know the truth, if we were right or wrong, only in May.”

    Absolutely love the candor and no nonsense approach.

    Even if we burn out before the end of the season it's been the best ride in almost 2 decades. A proud team that's made us all proud to support them.

    the only concern I have if we don't make it up this year he might not be able to do this miracle again next year.
