15 months to the day of this video going out, Leeds United parted company with Marcelo Bielsa, a manager who had taken on one of the fallen giants of European football, a club scarred by financial meltdown, multiple relegations, numerous owners and several disastrous managers, and transformed them into one of the continent’s most watchable teams.
His unique attacking style had set the blueprint for a side that had finished 13th in the Championship the season before he arrived, jumped up to third in his first campaign, and were promoted as champions in his second. This, coupled with the close connection he fused between the players and the fans, meant that not only did Leeds get stuck firmly back on the football map, but also saw the club once again become a glimmering source of pride within the city and community it represents.
But since he left Elland Road in February 2022, there hasn’t been much for Leeds fans to be proud of. In that time, they have played 49 Premier League games and won just 11, staying up on the last day of the 21-22 season under Jesse Marsch and sacking both him and Javi Gracia since then. Now on their fourth manager since Bielsa, Leeds turned to Sam Allardyce with just four games of the season remaining in a desperate bid to escape relegation, a situation made all the more embarrassing by the fact that the club’s owner Andrea Radrizzani said at the start of the season it would be “impossible” for the side to get embroiled in a relegation dogfight so late in the campaign again.
With the club’s fan advisory board branding the season “a humiliating disaster” in a statement that demanded change in the dugout and recruitment department in April, the feeling around Elland Road is at its lowest for some years. But what has brought Leeds to this point? On today’s Explained, we’re going to find out.

The overall failure is largely due to boardroom decisions but the recent capitulation that has lead directly to them being where they are now is because the players are such a soft bunch with no fight in them.

@MrRondonmon 11 ай бұрын

@@clivet3252 That's just not true, the problem was two fold, you got nervy and fired him when he got you out last year and Adams getting hurt wrecked your midfield advantage in most games. The reason I know I was checking stats, writing them down the other day, as I am a big stat guy. You guys had 57 percentage possession against Brighton and lost 1-0 early on, with 12 chances created to their 7 after beating Wolves and Chelsea. Got a Drew vs. Everton (MY TEAM) with 69 percent poss. and creating 12 chances to 4. Then got beat by Brentford 5-2 with 69 % poss. again and 12 chances created vs. 5 believe it or not. So, the set up was not your problem, bad finishing and bad defending or bad center backs was your problem, Bamford should have been sold and replaced, he was never really that good tbh. Then vs. Arsenal you lose 1-0 with 16 shots to their 9 and 11 chances created to their 7. Marsch set up was fine. He beat Liverpool 2-1 early on. So, he had 17 points in 20 games competing even in games they lost they deserved more at times, now lets COMPARE SCORES, he Beat Liverpool 2-1, lost to Arsenal 1-0, Drew at Newcastle 0-0 and lost to Brighton 1-0 while outplaying them. The new manger(s) they brought in lost to Arsenal 4-1, lost to Liverpool 6-1, lost to Crystal Palace 5-1, lost to Bournemouth 4-1. You guys have been awful, now with Adams out he may have done about the same, but firing him and not getting a real manager was stupid. He was competitive in most games, had a plan, the players were just not scoring, and your center backs are awful. IMHO, if you were nit going to get a real manager you should have stayed with Marsch or whatever his damned name is. Leeds looked great to start the year, then lost games where they were better than the other side. But overall,. he was had Leeds playing much better than you guys thought, go look at all the stats as I have done. I was trying to prove it was a bad hire and he brought in three Americans and that what hurt you, I think he was pretty good tbh. You guys have no finishers, M=Bamford is a lazy lad, under Belsmia he ran, ran, ran (LOL) so he was in shape, he will not stay in shape on his own accord. I was hoping you guys passed N.F. but now that its us, you or L.C. I have to pull fir you to lose, LOL, just as you will pull for us to lose. I guess Adams may just be that good. He really hurt you when he went down.

Most people don't seem to understand that Bielsa ball has a shelf life and those aren't my words they are Bielsa's. It's very difficult to sustain and maintain that style, it just eventually runs it's course where improvement slows down and results falter because teams work it out. We were in the same position last season under Bielsa, people just like to forget. Leeds also had a lot of success in lockdown in our first season of the Premier campaign, without crowds Bamford was also scoring consistently because he was fit for longer than ever before. In a lot of ways we got lucky, we also sold two exceptional players last season in Raphinia and Phillips so I'm not surprised at all that we are in the relegation battle, if anything we deserve to go down.

@@clivet3252 Believe it or not every club is not preparing for every single tactical approach every week, they are prepping for their next opponent and working on a general style they want to play. Not everyone is checking what Bielsa is doing every second when he's coaching in Argentina or whatever other country. He also isn't that prolific and doesn't have much silverware at all. There is a reason he leaves clubs after 2-3 years max consistently. It has a shelf life because in the beginning as we saw at Leeds improvements are quick but over-time those returns are diminished, either through hitting a quality ceiling with the players he has or other over exerted players with lots of injury's. He also won't just recruit any old player and it can take months for new additions to even play or train with the first team. One of his requirements is for example playing with the reserves first.

To say it's chaotic at Leeds right now is an understatement. I feel sorry for the fans, waiting 16 years to return to the Premier League only to possibly lasting 3 years.

Not rebuilding the back like in the winter window - why buy Rutter when you need to spend on defenders??? McKennie was a OK loan for depth, but he was like 70% healthy at the World Cup, what were they really expecting from him? Marsch realized the defensive problems which is why he had them play in the center of the field, to protect the back line as much as possible.

They just seem to personify ‘panic’. Bielsa’s tenure started drying up, panic and bring in a new manager. Marsch seemed to be the right manager after keeping them up, but didn’t quite work in 22/23, then panicked again, Garcia, absolutely awful and I think that’s all that needs to be said so they panicked again and bring in Sam Allardyce. Seems they they want to put their failures as a club on the head of Marsch and then give Allardyce a near impossible job to deflect their shortcomings.

It was more about the hapless management of Radz. He didn't stick with his guns when it came to the decision to rebuild in the model Orta envisioned. Marsch was moving along at a point per game clip even with a minimal transfer window last Summer. Then they decide to open their wallets and bring in Wober, McKennie and Rutter in the Winter window but sacked Marsch before he had a chance to do anything with those valuable upgrades. Imagine how he could have improved his trajectory with them. Even still, a point per game gives him 38 points at the end of the season, 2 points clear of Everton on the table. Instead, they sack JM without a replacement queued up, get stuck with their 5th choice manger after a few weeks in Gracia. Gracia's system didn't match with the assets in place and he struggled until he was inevitably sacked. Then the desperate hire of Big Sam (and yet another new system) only further wore down the team. Of course, McKennie, Wober, Rutter and others struggled in 2023 - all those changes (and the multiple line-up configuration changes within that period) only led to confusion on the pitch for the entire team. Like him or not, If Leeds kept Marsch until the end of the season, they likely would still be in the Prem.

How can it be that the same Harrison who terrorised the Liverpool defence in Sep 2020 can now barely complete a pass? We were a team that neutrals loved to watch because we were exciting, adventurous and something different. Now we are mundane, predictable and the epitome of mediocrity. We are Burnley without the flair or Beirut without the charm. We are a pale shadow of our recent past and are badly in need of ruthless surgery throughout the Club. I despise the Board for their callous ineptitude and their arrogant belief that we were too good to go down. Despite a very clear warning, and lucky escape, last season, they followed the same model of blind belief, fuelled by a heady combination of greed and ignorance. The chickens have very much come home to roost and they are chargrilled and riddled with Asian Bird Flu. The way that the heart and soul has been ripped out of our Club, both on and off the field, should be used as a case study for future academic courses on sports (mis)management.

The squad not only lacks quality but also balance.. Radz and Orta are to blame.. It’s that simple. We 1 left back who quite frankly is crap 🤷🏻‍♂️ we’ve needed to fill midfield positions for best part of 4 years. The defensive signings have been shocking and to top it all off we’ve only had 1 decent manager since Radz bought the club.. And they didn’t back him! 🤦🏻‍♂️ I’m glad Orta has gone but the sooner Radz sells up and fks off the better..

A lot of the problems trace back to the lack of squad development in the summer of 20/21. Injuries hit, the team couldn't cope with life in the PL and against the risk of relegation and one pasting too many, the club sacked Bielsa. How long he would have stayed we'll never know but it's been one bad judgement call after another since then leading to the current predicament including the usual off field drama at times like these.

Leeds United need new British owners with an understanding of how run a traditional football club and how to recruit a decent football manager who can ID decent players to sign up and retain. Leeds United should in theory be Yorkshire's No.1 top club and in the top ten of the Premier League and at least chasing a Europa League place. Back in the 1960s and early 1970s Leeds United were true class when men were men and then the FA called in Don Revie for the England job and fecked up Leeds United.

Glad that s*** is over, now...Priority number one has to be to get rid of Bamford. He alone cost Leeds at least 4 vital points. He's not even a Championship striker. As for the board they didn't learn from the previous season and Leeds have paid dearly for their short sightedness. Also about 4 seasons to fix the striker and left back problems and it was never addressed. How much time did they need? They need to look back and see what worked in the past - A core of older, experienced players surrounded by a wealth of young talent, aka Strachan, McCallister, Speed, Batty. They have the young talent already in the likes of Gnonto (please hang on to him!) and Summerville and call back all the loaners like Gelhardt and Cresswell, players who have some fight and talent. What they now need is to pick up a decent older, experienced striker, midfielder and defender. A striker who can get the ball in the back of the net regularly which is something Bamford fails to do.

But so many of their current fans have just ruined it with their sense of entitlement and general behaviour. Therefore, sad to say, I hope the club do relegate, disappearing down the leagues again, so they can take this current crop of godawful fans with them. Perhaps, see y'all again in another 20 years time, perhaps they will have humbled a bit more by then and actually be bearable.
