I am 100% behind Jesse but I agree that Bielsa transcended football and made
what happened both on and off the field different and made us special .
**Ultimately he wasn't. Football is a competitive team game. We were not
competing and no longer a team.
We are now just any mid table team ( though with a more fanatical old school
fan base) - expect more time wasting , taking the ball to the corner flag ,
play acting and arguing with refs and opponents- expect 70 mins of the ball in
play not aiming for 90mins - all things that may help us amass points but
things we all hate when the other side do it.
* Completely unfair. We are in transition. Sometine that can take a season or
two. After half a dozen games you can only praise.
Back to normal football and not the magic (albeit sometimes tragic ) Bielsaball
* We played some stinkers too
I have just totally revamped my front room and my Bielsa statue has been given
a prominent place - he will always have my affection in a way no other manager
ever has or ever will?
* Again, give the guy time and don't set the bar impossibly high
Special times
Would he have kept us up - who knows but with games v Norwich and Watford and
the return of players I do believe he would have , but academic now.
* Strange where you don't know you proclaim doubt. But otherwise where there is
doubt you proclaim.
Up to Jesse to keep us up ( looking very possible now) and to build us for the
future and maybe challenge for a cup or a Europa league place?
The king has gone , long live the king
***Dave, a man is judged by what he leaves after him. Great men often stand on
the shoulders of Giants.

*** We were a runaway train coming off the tracks. Marsch did the right thing
at the right time. Remember Napoleon demanded one attribute amongst all others
from his Generals....luck.
