Marcelo Bielsa

[Harryflashman]

Haha definitely not true. I'd be absolutely shocked if he's on any sort of list. I think it's Bielsa based on him flying in for talks, but we'll see.

Surely if he’s flown in , it’s all but done ? Why would you fly in for talks ?

 

[Zeitgeist]

I just think its not the right time for him, I hope i'm proven wrong

 

[Connor]

Its not true.

It will be Biesla or Gravy.

Yes, creepy place round there at night especially. I remember going to an FA Cup replay mid-week and it was very hair-raising.

Also, the only time I've ever felt in trouble in a football stadium was in that Kippax stand. The crush was almost unbearable.

You go the game? ?

Yeah you don't fly in from Brazil with a dozen suitcases for something that could just be discussed beside your swimming pool on zoom. Might be a lot further down the line than we have been lead to believe i think this.

 

[Blue_Eagle]

Lots of bags with Bielsa there and he's flew in - meaning he's obviously rather serious about taking the job.

It may mean that these talks of him telling us where to go / having high demands aren't that accurate.

"We played THE RIGHT WAY you peasants, what's wrong with you? Anyway I'm not doing the rest of my interviews because it's beneath me, I'm off home to ponder life's great philosophical questions, like why do clubs keep bowing to my demands to pay me enormous amounts of cash even though i'm not remotely bothered about money, not even one bit".

Well, with Bielsa it’s not about playing the right way. He’s just a firm believer of having a style and sticking to it. He has said that being a manger is about finding the best way to win football matches and then convincing the players to belive in the managers plan. In his view it's absurd to tell the players that they are supposed to follow his plan to win games and then telling them to do something completely different when they play better teams or when they are loosing. For example he’s been full of praise of Pulis and Dyche because he thinks that they have a clear plan that the players believe in and follow in any situation.

I don't think Bielsa is the sort to use email, he's probably just flying in to tell Moshiri 'no, leave me alone' in person.

Maine Road wasn't a pleasant place for visiting fans due to the labyrinth of back-to-back houses and alleyways. Very similar to Goodison in many ways. And going to Everton back then a mare.

The Kippax held 25500 when it was all standing, but pay on the gate meant several games the capacity was exceeded as fans would jib in or bung the gateman when full.

Just a forward thinking question..
Is Bielsa the right man to..
A Save us from relegation?
B Get us promoted from the Championship?

Im not entirely sure that's forward thinking. More the only questions.

Why Real Madrid ?

His dad.

 

[davek]

We have players in the squad older than him. Can't see us hiring Ancelotti Jr. But it is an interesting link as I believe Carlo Ancelotti will be back at Everton one day assuming we don't end up in the lower leagues.

He misses the Iron Men.

 

[blulouie]

His dad.

Bielsa's dad's still alive & in Madid ?

Nah stuff like xGA had us down for conceding loads more than we were, but every time somebody pointed that out and said it couldn't last people laughed and said lol xGA doesn't mean anything. Then it stopped lasting and people started going wow what the hell happened to the defence nobody could possibly have foreseen that.

sorry mate, no idea what xGA is.

My first away game as a kid of about 12 was the Everton v Liverpool FA Cup SF - the netting down the centre of the Kippax not doing it's job and golf balls and bottles winging their way past my ears, courtesy of Murder Inc.
