Apparently Leeds see glimpses of Bielsa in JDT and are considering him as their next manager. It's on newsnow.

Not sure it's necessarily an apt comparison, but it wouldn't surprise me at all if JDT's agent has been putting feelers out there.

I can’t see any parallels there to be honest. He might be being “ considered “ but I’d be amazed if he actually got the job.

Leeds seriously impressed by 'next Bielsa' who has stayed under the radar (footballinsider247.com)

You’d think it would depend upon if they went down or not. Can’t see it if they stayed up, but I certainly could if they ended up in this league.

Whoever wrote that obviously hasn’t seen us play.

I'd be surprised period if being honest, would have thought they could get someone more experienced at a higher level than JDT. Not saying I'm not happy with JDT nor impressed, just seems a leap even in our league. He's done alright this season, shame we have slipped down, but I expected a scrap so mid table, just outside is better than expected.

[Mattyblue]

I’m not surprised by any managerial appointment these days. English football’s a madhouse.

Aye, can't see Bielsa putting up that lazy sod Diaz

[tomphil]

JDT would be off his rocker to go there.

[AllRoverAsia]

Memo to JDT, Leeds sacked Bielsa.

Why? 

From my view point... Big club and big fan base. Probably wouldn't need to move house. 

An ambitious manager could do a lot lot worse imho.

He'll be sacked the first sign of trouble and there'd be no tolerance for project talk amongst their hordes.

Plus a few £million pay off for failure......Cant believe Leeds are that stupid !

The bar isn't exactly high is it.

"Can you fill out a form?"

"Yes"

"I'm all yours."

[Tugayisgod]

[Mattyblue]

How do you ‘cut back’ from not signing anyone to start with?

[tomphil]

Nixon on the job now so we know it's agents at work.

JDT knows he will not move this team forwards without some real investment and if more cutbacks are planned i don't blame him one bit.

More evidence that those running/owning the show just want a low budget side filled with youth treading water in the future. There is no project at all from their point of view it's still just wing it from season to season with as least hassle as possible whilst being happy to funnel c10/15 million off the company books.

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

I wouldn’t be in the slightest bit surprised if JDT left in Summer. I would be surprised if he left to join Leeds though.

If we were a normal club run by normal people I wouldn’t be too bent out of shape. After all we appointed Ken Furphy, Gordon Lee, Jim Smith, Howard Kendall back in the day. All poached away by First Division clubs. Even Bobby Saxton and Don McKay did well for us with not much. Only Jim Iley was a Chicken Choker style flop appointment.

The trouble with the current management is we’re just as likely to get a Owen Coyle mk 2 style appointment as we are likely to get an improvement on JDT.

Agreed. I think he was very disappointed at the shenanigans in January and that his relationship with GB is damaged. GB is a 'company' man in need of a job, JDT has a wide choice of where and for whom he works. I fully expect GB to pull every stunt and favour to stay in his job.

GB promised, in his mea culpa immediately after the Jan debacle, intimated that he would give a full explanation in due course ..... I must have missed that.

The due hasn't run it's course.
