[@helvete983]

As a Leeds fan mate we've had very few moments to remember in your lifetime. I'm an older fan, I was lucky enough to see us lift the last Division 1 title before it became the Premier League. My opinion is Bielsa as much as he is adored, was never sustainable, his training and bizarre choice of a small squad just burnt us out, and we are still suffering from that burn out. We sacked him at the wrong time and hired at the wrong time. So we essentially sabotaged a transfer window, I feel now the team we have is good enough, but it's new and players have yet to gel. Marsch was the wrong man for the job, now don't get me wrong he is a great scout, and bringing in Adams, Sinisterra etc are amazing signings. But was too one dimensional. Ask any Leeds fan, they'll tell you we have been screaming out for the club to sign quality LB and get shut of the old guard, and a striker for the last 3+ years now. Gnonto is going to be world class, but you cannot ask an 18 year old kid to step up to the role. People think we signed a striker in Rutter, the lad himself has said he isn't an out and out striker. Good signings wrong positions and the board and recruitment team need to take the blame.

People see going down as a bad thing, when honestly. There are a lot of cases where going down is actually a good thing. Burnley are best example of this currently. I'd even argue Fulham at current standing. It took them a dozen tries to finally get it right.((Though I'd argue they needed to stop trying to flip the team that got them there at the time.)) Newcastle did it when we last went down. While yes, it can go badly, but going down isn't the worse thing in the world. It could be a blessing in disguise in the long run.

Sorry but I hate this take. Ask any Newcastle fan if getting relegated was a good thing for our club. All the money attached to staying up is an issue, and matters all the more for smaller clubs who are desperate for whatever revenue they can get vis-à-vis the big boys.

I'm a 26 years old Leeds fan, and I don't think I'll ever see Leeds play better than the Bielsa era.

[@davidblancarte4839]

Having watched nearly every game in the JM era. I think under JM they had a 10% chance of getting relegated. They had finally given JM the most important pieces the LB and ST they had promised the fans and didn't get the last window. Under JM the team was always on the bad end of the wrong calls and individual mistakes away from being a great team. On a good day they could go for to toe with anyone. The fans lost their patience, which made the FO prematurely fire. JM only had 1 game with McKinney and about 2-3 games with the lb and striker they owed him. Now they have like a 35-50% shot of dropping.

[@Beyondultragaming]

I'm with you on this yeah. Why sack a manager you've backed to the hills in two transfer windows only to then sack him. I felt that they should have stuck loyal to Jesse marsch even when the going got tough. It just feels the board became far too complacent and though they were untouchable when they weren't at all and a rebuild of the squad was needed

[@SimersFM]

They also sacked him before a run of 3 to 4 easier/winnable games. The new manager is worse and it’s not close… and continuing to play Bamford is a mistake. Not making adjustments when Vardy and Daka come on to defend that pace, mistake. Man sits on 3 subs and does nothing, lucky to even get a point when it should have been a win with a decent manager. How Gnonto is on the bench the entire game nobody knows.

Personally as a Leeds fan who has watched Leeds tremble in the championship for many years but when Bielsa was appointed it was as if something clicked in our squad he helped us get from mid table championship to pushing for playoffs and champions The first season in the Premier League was electric for fans coaches and players alike then the dreaded second season came about we had injuries all over the place and truthfully didnt back Bielsa enough However with the appointment of Jesse Marsch we had a difficult time of ajusting we got the backing of money from the owners and on paper have a team that should be challenging for Mid table premier league however we didnt execute what we needed correctly

[@cars92dtb]

Liam, you talk about Bielsa's style of play, limited squad numbers and injuries that racked up and took their toll on Leeds. I drew the same parallels in my own thoughts and saw something like that coming, in the sense that if you look at his career he never stayed too long in any one place. His international management being an exception. If you ask the question, is he naive or stubborn? I'd say stubborn 100%. This old dog did not want to be taught many new tricks. He has a titanic reputation in the game though (example: Guardiola is an admirer) and I almost think the topic of Bielsa himself is worth it's own video. Would be a very interesting topic with your own personal take on it to compliment things.

[@Vizeh]

Thank you for your comment man, it is a real shame honestly

the worst part is not the relegation, the worst if they enchanged a plan for 1 extra year on premiere, Marsch was not the coatch to build over what bielsa left , is more look like it destroy it. the problem of bielsa whas how much he do not want to delay matchs for covid or injuries , playing a lot with under 21 players , and how much it is based on attack but not on defence. premier got a very big diference on squads strenghts

[@gollo4144]

If you want to know a similar feeling like this, investigate what happened in Chivas one of the biggest clubs in Mexico, the team I support. We are very attached to him, Even to this day He says that the love He felt by the club, players and fans, cannot be replicated by any other club he's played or coached. He saved the clubs reputation and if you ask any Chivas fan, they would say the same thing. Best coach for Chivas history hands down.

[@ciaranmckenna2819]

Well done on that video, excellent overview of where we came from and what has happened. One thing that I think should be documented more, is the negative effects of the delayed takeover from the 49ers. Every decision has been slowed down, investments are delayed, and the owners are negotiating over who will fork up the money.. It's led Radrizzani, a man who is already a high rick investor, to play with dice.

[@Josh-cm9jw]

I think Gracia is a good manager with a lot of good ideas, but I have a sneaking feeling the damage has already been done here. This board have consistently put their own egos ahead of the interests of the club and now we find ourselves even worse off a year down the line than we were when Bielsa left. Relegation could be a blessing in disguise, I hope that will be where we hit the big red reset button in a similar fashion to Burnley. I think that's the only way we can get anywhere near where we as fans believe we should be aiming to be, because this current squad with the men in charge aren't it anymore.

The historic Champions League campaign in 2000-01 for Leeds United was a significant because the club had almost faced Bayern Munich. This is the same opponent they faced in the final 26 years earlier, when Leeds lost 0-2 and there was a large riot in Paris after the referee decision favoured Bayern Munich at that time. Leeds are really deserved to win a lot if they managed to beat Valencia in the semifinal because they managed a clean sheet at Elland Road before losing by 3 goals in Mestalla. A year earlier, Leeds had almost achieved this big dream against Arsenal until a big tragedy happened before the Copenhagen Final. When they faced Galatasaray in Istanbul, two fans were murdered by Turkish hooligans. It's worth noting that such a tragedy had affected the mentality for players, as Leeds eventually lost 0-2 and failed to win by at least 3-0 margin in Elland Road, as the game had ended 2-2. What's more interesting is that there are some European clubs that entered this state after numerous big successes at that time when Leeds failed to play in Europe and eventually went down to lower divisions: 1.Parma: Although they are still yet to be crowned the scudetto, Parma has won 8 trophies between 1992 and 2002, including 2 UEFA Cups and a Cup Winners Cup in 1993. The club went bankruptcy twice, with the second one ended up in relegation to Serie D back in 2015 after financial troubles. The club was renamed twice from AC Parma to Parma FC SpA and now Parma Calcio 1913. 2.Fiorentina: They had world class players like Roberto Baggio and Gabriel Batistuta back in 1990s, but after enjoying some huge successes, including almost being qualified to the Champions League quarterfinal back in 1999-2000, the club got demoted to Serie C2 and was renamed to ACF Fiorentina. 3.Deportivo La Coruna: The club had 2 Copa del Rey titles and even won the La Liga back in 2000 with the record of worst point, plus reached the Champions League semifinal back in 2004 after a historic remontada vs Milan. After several years of big successes, the club got relegated in 2011, 2013, and 2018. After the third relegation, they never made a return and even demoted once again to third division in 2020.

Bielsa gave the club an identity from 2018-2021 but the thin squad and stubbornness of Bielsa to adapt was his undoing. Wish he could’ve lasted a long time but it wasn’t to be. However it would’ve been better had the board brought in someone similar rather than an American guy who spent his whole management career in the Red Bull footballing system.

[@srgvldmr]

Bielsa teams have always been like that. Athletic Club and Marseille had awesome seasons with him but then the club collapses because the way he plays and trains can't be something they can maintain.

[@zeonmx]

To this day, I have no fucking idea why the Leeds owner sacked Jesse Marsch after backing him in January.

[@jloky.x]

When you have a director of football model you're not necessarily buying for the manager, you're building a squad that any manager should be able to work with. The January signings weren't necessarily Marsch ones, Wober played under him but is a CB who can play most systems. Mckennie never played under Marsch or any Red Bull style and neither did Rutter. We think another manager (now Gracia) can get more out of this squad than Jesse could, time will tel if that's correct

[@AdamsGamingBros]

As a leeds fan, there's issues all across the board, the behind the scenes of the club seems to be a huge mess with no resolutions in sight, the players seem to have lost motivation and its fully infuriating, that image of them in the blankets will be forever burned in my head if we do go down, which I'd say there's a 90 percent chance of us going down, we have great young players that either don't get minutes or aren't played properly, the defence is so wishy washy that it makes starting any kind of attack hard, and the players that are performing at a semi acceptable level are being let down, a key example being our keeper Meslier, the man's saved us so many times from being like 5-6 goals down but he has absolute donkeys infront of him. Our ability to shift off the dead wood just never happened and if we did make signings they were either flash in the pan or just flat out never worked, exceptions being Raphinha and maybe Gnonto if he starts firing.

[@MattanFaber]

The board is the main problem, no long term planning, or if there is, no plan b for the long term plan in case something happened. Just look at the last ten managers the team had - other than Bielsa, no one survived more than 40 games, most of them a lot less

[@dv4lufc77]

Yeah I'm not confident we are staying up for the first time in years I struggle to see us winning games anymore. Hopefully Gracia is successful. The board are the problem in my view. The year we came 9th the summer after that the recruitment was awful Dan James and Firpo signed and we still had our Championship midfield. I think if we bought 3-4 players that summer we wouldn't have struggled with Bielsa. Jesse was a nice guy but his tactics were awful and didn't suit us.

[@unnamedshadow1866]

not being able to sign Ben White is probably what doomed Leeds United. Losing Kalvin Phillips and Raphinha was the nail on the coffin. Also Patrick Bamford being a 1 Season Wonder also affected the team. Had they managed to get Ben White they would've most likely had an even better 1st Season and a more Stable 2nd Season. Had Bamford kept his form and not injure so often, Leeds wouldn't had to worry about a leaky defense. And they needed to do everything on their power to retain Kalvin Phillips and Raphinha. These 2 were their best players. Basically Leeds had the ambitions, but they still had a Championship Mentality.

Re: relegation being a blessing in disguise It is now very different than it was 20 years ago: due to the amount of money the teams just for being in the PL and the golden parachutes, a team going down isn't put on the brink of administration by the PL wages; in fact, those relegated teams are so far ahead of everyone else financially, it doesn't really seem fair on the teams who are perennially just short of promotion. But does to not being in the PL, they can afford take chances with younger players and return to the PL with a new model (exactly what Burnley are doing). However, I don't think Leeds need that exactly. With all due respect, Burnley last year looked like a relic, a blast from the past. Leeds are a lot younger and have a lot more high-ceiling players, so I don't think they really need a big re-build, they just need to put what they have to good use.

[@jameswood3469]

After finishing 9th playing glorified training games we decided that we could do the same with better results but the problem was our championship players hit the ceiling and it wasn't addressed, Ayling, Harrison, Forshaw, Bamford, not to mention our captain is the worst centre back in the league by a distance and he was still starting games in our THIRD premier league season, the board only signed 1 defender in the last 4 transfer windows and wasted money on forwards like Dan James that we didn't need and spent about £20m too much.

[@gufrias7192]

When Bielsa was sacked, I had mixed emotions. I know that we will probably never have another manager like him, but at the same time we probably would have been relegated with him at the helm. Then came Jesse Marsch. Knowing he had failed in the Bundesliga before, I feared that PL would be to big for him. And even though I really wanted him to do well, and was delighted that he avoided the drop to Championship, I still had my doubts going into this season. We started fine, but it soon became clear that his plan A only worked against teams who want to play a possession based game with many players forward. It also became clear that there was no plan B. This is why the season gradually went pear shaped. When Marsch was sacked I felt a little sorry for him - he has after all a victorious relegation battle to his name - but mostly I felt relief. Now Javi Gracia. He has done this before (saved Watford from relegation), and I think he is capable of doing it again with Leeds. I am happy with this appointment, and I wish him a long and successful reign in the manager's office at Elland Road.

[@inst4rmin.x4_onYT]

I hope they stay up.. And the talent is clearly there in this squad.. But honestly I have a hard time being positive they put it together enough to make it again... Marsch was an uninspiring hire even then, although it worked for the short term, and I see Gracia as the same kind of appointment unfortunately. So unless they sack him again too in the summer, whether he avoids relegation or not, and find a candidate to truly improve the play of this team, I don't see any real improvement happening at all...

I really like Leeds it’s so annoying to see them go down they are a good club with lots of potential and they have shown this with some good performances but it isn’t consistent enough and that is the annoying thing

[@RhysHughes92]

Could you do a video on what it’s been like for you to move to Poland and adjusting to life there? I have a Polish girlfriend, and tempted to move over

[@NkosanaVidima]

Great vid mate, any chance of getting your background music list??

[@franciscovcm3910]

Great little vid mate

[@Vizeh]

Thanks 👍

[@andywrong3247]

I think leeds will stay up, the board are a bit fickle, a change in new ownership might add to Leeds change of fortune 49ers have proved that they are no mugs. So the future seems hopeful.

[@diazxmarvin]

i do believe marsch was sacked too soon, he was backed and didn’t really get a chance after he brought in players like rutter mckennie and wober who are all players who slot in the XI(maybe rutter) he was given time with aaronson and adams and the whole year but he was sacked too soon after they backed him in january

[@Joe-tk1hv]

I disagree I think we sacked him too late. By the time we sacked him we were already practically relegated but I think he deserves another chance at a different club.

[@jloky.x]

He should have gone before the World Cup when we could have got a higher level manager in. The footy he had us playing was just dire and it was obvious he'd reached his ceiling. Marsch needs to go away like Eddie Howe and rethink his ideas

[@eyft5163]

It's part of our DNA as a club to self implode ... we have had poor ownership for over 20 years now , any player that shines in our team quickly gets snapped up , even managers that are doing well get pinched away . As a 40 year old Leeds fan, I vaguely remember winning the old division 1 and since then I have experienced zero glory ... WE ARE GOING DOWN AND PROBABLY WONT SEE THE PREMIER LEAGUE AGAIN FOR ANOTHER DECADE .

[@Vizeh]

It’s the Leeds way it seems

[@7X_23]

Amazing video as usual❤

[@Vizeh]

Thank you so much

[@OceanGroupGamer]

As a Leeds fan most of the blame is on orta

[@unofficialleeds9084]

Have you heard the latest about the club having to pay Jean Kevin Augustin (he had 3 sub appearances in the championship) £25m for a breach of contract, on top of paying RB Leipzig £15m? Surely the worst transfer in football history. Fun club to support are Leeds 😂

[@Agtsmirnoff]

Correction to your video: Marsch was not really "backed". Phillips and Raphina were sold, and they purchased 5 players over the summer and didn't even spend all of the money those sales brought in. There was no net spend in the club going into this season. We've needed a LB for YEARS yet it's gone neglected. Leed's biggest problem last season was its defense, yet it spent practically nothing on the backline last summer except for a RB...and instead of looking for a quality RB to come in, they tried to shoehorn in a RWB on the cheap and it hasn't worked and he's now benched. We also needed a proper striker with the correct profile, as Bamford is washed. Even when he isn't out on months long injuries, he scuffs his chances 80% of the time. He has the worst big chances missed per 90 and goals vs. xG ratio in the League.

[@Vizeh]

Would say he was backed enough to get much better results than what he’s got now honestly

[@kellywalker4494]

The players need to be held somewhat accountable. Leeds has a squad that is more than good enough to stay in the premier league. However, in addition, the managers have been bad, the systems they have played were too predictable and too fragile. Jessie’s so called red bull system was never going to work.

[@Dinoo1234]

The problem has been the board. What was the point of giving Jesse Marsch money in January if you are sacking him?

[@Vizeh]

Many clubs have been found doing same thing, Chelsea with Tuchel to be fair

[@user-zv8xw6tq6s]

Orta is completely out of order he was seen mocking fans again at Everton when we were chanting to the board. He has also in his 3-4 years here has made 2 good signing gnonto and raphinia rest have been shocking he needs to go

[@Agtsmirnoff]

In short, it's a combination of club with aging/old player, many of whom were never good enough for the Premler League to beging with, current majority owner not wanting to invest money because there is an "agreement" for the Club to be fully sold soon to the minority owner so any invested money on players wouldn't be beneficial to the current majority owner personally, and a Sporting Director that like likes to be a hipster in his selection of managers and player purchases, and (despite a few gems), gets things wrong more often than not.

[@Skippinho23]

Watching this while playing my Leeds FM save

[@Vizeh]

How's your save doing?

[@yungtrashlord]

i feel like leeds will go down this season but will immediately get promoted and will either become a yoyo club or a lower-mid table side

[@Liverpool-Thedirtyredteam]

No we'll go down to the championship and stay because Leeds United is a clown club and a joke

[@bananatreegamer6716]

As a leeds fan I feel sad

[@Vizeh]

Don’t blame you

[@tllightning12]

Happier after today

[@Ftsuit459]

When you talk about Leeds fans love for Bielsa, would you not say it was similar to Burnley with Dyche?

[@marcuscollins5946]

I'm a die hard Leeds fan most my life seen us in league one and championship. when bielsa came I honestly can say I never ever enjoyed watching my team so much el loco madness and his blue bucket were legendary. unfortunately things didn't work out for him with Jesse I felt when we did appoint him it should been short term singing former players from his old Leipzig squad wasn't ideal and ofc McKennie and Adams weren't the best way to replace kalvin. I'm not sure we're gonna do well with Garcia but congratulations bro Burnley certian for promotion nice see Burnley back.

[@Vizeh]

Jesse looked so likable that is a shame it didn’t work out really

[@meentage]

Leipzig or Salzburg

[@meentage]

Leipzig or Salzburg

[@rafaelrivas-kp1qo]

Would like to see one of these on Leicester City

[@Thetierlistmaniac]

VIZEH i'll actually upload a wtf happened to vizeh. i'll upload it on sunday 6pm

[@Vizeh]

Looking forward to it!

[@boomshakalaka3068]

Nah they overpay for young players. No way you're going in for Rutter when you would have more clinical strikers in far lower money

[@Vizeh]

It points more to the board for poor decision making

[@mrnolaneng1]

They hired Orta

[@yester9037]

i dont understand their recruitment, without a goalscorer they are going down and they spend £40m on a project in Rutter.

[@Vizeh]

It is weird how they’ve not focused on bringing in an experienced signing

[@YR13-520]

The whole reason why we've struggled: 21/22 - a lot of injuries 22/23 - march wasn't inspiring the team like bielsa. How to fix us - bring back bielsa, but make sure the training isn't as intense as that was te main reason for our Injuries

[@Vizeh]

Advice for life, never get back with an ex it never works well

[@johannlothe]

Me as a non-native english speaker: Dire Straights..? Like, the band..?

[@AndyB450]

Jesse was Leed’s best chance of staying up. Got a good sum of cash on them to go down this year since his sacking

[@jloky.x]

Why do you think that? We simply couldn't win games under him, pretty big thing needed to stay away from the bottom

[@tgre12]

Andddddd we win on the weekend….14 games left…what’s the concern folks?!?

[@luc.espargita]

Leeds made a terrible mistake firing Bielsa. He was the reason Leeds went up. He also did a fantastic first season in the Premier League without spending crazy amounts of money. He had a rough start in the second season and suddenly he's to blame for all the club's problems. To me it seems that the higher ups were relieved to get rid of him. Instead they've placed their bets on mediocre coaches who will probably take Leeds back to the Premiership. Bielsa might have seemed stuck in his ways, but you have to take a step back to fully admire what he accomplished.
