Leeds United's 12 Premier League goals this season is the most by a newly promoted club after six games of a season in the division since Middlesbrough back in 1992-93.

How come Bielsa, a guy who seems to be very highly respected as a tactical thinker, hasn't really gotten a really high-profile club job before? Serious question. I was just reading a book that talks about Pep learning from him about attacking and it goes into how he's well-thought of tactically by other managers. There must be some history that I don't know as a new fan/American.

He might get one of the biggest next year if Ole doesn't get top 4.

Its partly him really if u see the teams he has coached most have been mid table type teams, except when he coached the Argentinian NT he prefers those type of jobs, plus he's known for quitting on the spot if things dont go his way, i think he's only on a one year contract atm .

He's like top lyricist that insist on rapping on wack beats,:mjlol: dude has access to Just Blaze, Kanye, Alchemist , dre but raps on Swizz beats instrumentals

Because he's El Loco.

People of power like Chairmen, CEO's, Presidents, Owners, + DoF/SD's don't like being told what to do by a subordinate.
