Can this whole “will Bielsa be the new manager” thing be over already? This has drug out for almost two weeks now, and it’s getting old.
Yet another day has gone by with Leeds fans going mad on social media, with people taking pictures of the board and Victor Orta as they come and go from Elland Road, with journalists posting that a deal would get done “in the next four hours” only to have the four hours come and go with no resolution.
Even the club’s Twitter account is in on the fun, posting new stuff every hour, only to get a barrage of abuse from fans who were fooled into thinking it was an announcement about Bielsa.
are far as Bielsa and his advisors are concerned, the contract as Leeds have it (with amendments, additions etc) would be acceptable to him. As I said on Monday, money isn’t under discussion. That’s agreed.

#Bielsa will earn 68k a week at Leeds (@Dazelar29)

This then translates into a seasonal salary of 2.8/3 million.

The only thing we really “learned” yesterday is that Bielsa is going to be paid a lot of money to manage Leeds, with a rumoured salary of 68k per week, meaning that he will make about £3 million next season. Good work if you can get it, I suppose.
Anyway, if Bielsa can take Leeds up to the Premier League it will be worth every bit of it.
