So, 21 games in they are 2nd in the league. Anyone know if there have been any funny Bielsa moments?

It's OK - they are cursed.
Right now the eccentric Argentina coach has a sleeping giant, Leeds, in second place in England’s second tier and many believe the Elland Road club are the favorites for promotion to the Premier League this season.

However, a report from the Daily Telegraph states that Leeds owner Andrea Radrizzani could be having money issues as his sports streaming company, Eleven Sports, is on the brink of shutting down.

“Radrizzani’s sports streaming service is at risk of shutting down after only four months amid growing doubts over the financial viability of the company. It is understood that the 44-year-old Italian businessman has been unsuccessfully attempting to renegotiate deals with established pay-TV operators but Eleven Sports is now considering pulling the plug on its UK company. Telegraph Sport understands there could now be added pressure on Leeds to achieve promotion this season due to fears over cash-flow issues.”

5pm press conference called by Leeds. Rumours circulating that Bielsa has resigned over "spy gate".

It was a masterclass on opposition scouting and analysis. I would've paid good money to sit in that presentation.

I'm looking forward to seeing Bielsa in the PL now. The level of detail and information that he gathers for each team is astounding. Does he ever leave the training ground?

Happy for Marsch. He got so much shit from Leeds fans last year despite doing well to keep them up. A lot of it doing with the fact he is American and their weird obsession with Bielsa.

I'm routing for him, there's so much arrogance from pundits and the media about Americans coaching in the PL

Let's be honest, American coaches haven't exactly lit up the EPL so far. Bob Bradley immediately springs to mind...

There've only been two before Marsch.; Bradley and David Wagner at Huddersfield. Wagner did a good job at Huddersfield, getting them promotion to the PL and keeping them up for a season considering their squad.
