Gjanni Alioski said today that Leeds were “ready to explode.... Like a bomb.” And he may not be wrong.

A lot of the predictions about Leeds from around the press and other blogs predict madness at Elland Road, and they’re not wrong to expect it. When you hire a manager from Argentina with the nickname “El Loco” and put him in charge of a club that has averaged about three managers a season for almost a decade, it’s not wrong to anticipate madness to occur.
Most figure that Bielsa’s reign at Elland Road will go one of two ways, either it will be brilliant or it will be awful and he’ll be sacked by Christmas. Here’s hoping that it will go as best as can be expected and that Leeds will be able to get promoted.
