Still reckon we’d go down with him here, but reckon we’d piss the championship under him.

We don't have the players whatsoever for his footie.

Please no !!

I don't think he'd survive, quite literally the stress of running this clown show would be too much at his age

Doesn't he only work with players that can, run, pass, press, mark, shoot and play footy...that's us out then.

If you’re going to say something then say it.

In the meantime we’ll have less bickering.

Don’t be a prick

Iwobi is absolutely gash and Dominic Calvert-Lewin hasn’t broken into a sweat for 2 seasons

Alright fair enough, wasn't being totally serious but no one likes a WUM so I apologise.

I will say that I do find it a bit odd how often Iwobi is the chosen target for a few posters on here.

He's not a worldbeater and we obviously massively overpayed but to me seems like one of the few in the squad who could probably contribute under a better manager.

Looked good start of the season and we all were singing his praises. His form has dropped off but even in the game the other day our best moments came from him being on the ball in the final third.

If we're talking about Bielsa I would say Iwobi is absolutely far and away the most suited to his style of play of any of our players, hence my original post.

At least it would be entertaining but we would 100% go down

You are very, very welcome.

Unless you’ve been speaking to him for weeks it ain’t happening.

Bielsa is meticulous in his contract and to arrange for all his staff to be paid through him. The contract has to be translated to Spanish and his brother who’s a lawyer has to go over it.

It always took Bielsa weeks to sign an extension up to the eve of the season.

That’s before he’s even watched loads of games to see if the squad is good enough to play his way.

Then he has to consider if they are fit enough and can get you playing his way through the season
