Im sure he will be offered more money than anything Cardiff could offer if he wanted a job and made himself available. Why would he damage his reputation?


I think that may be a little harsh, i'm sure he would make a good account of himself here if he was given the funds to implement the players & tactics he wants.

For the record, I don't believe he will come here either,

But strange things do happen in this sport we love


He is a manager that wants to add to his reputation by winning things. The chances of him doing that at Cardiff are slim. Best he could hope for is keeping you up with a high-ish finish. That isnt going to increase his reputation on the world stage.

I just think its incredibly unrealistic.


He didn't win anything with Bilbao


He will want to do that now though. His reputation rocketed at bilbao, why would he now just try and keep someone up? He will want to try and win things now.

It'would be a good challenge for him to bring in some of his own players in Jan and try and get us to mid table. That would rocket his reputation even more.

I dont think it would at all.

Malky had been given £35m and spent that in the last few months, if Bielsa is given the same, thats £70m (£100m if you believe tan) on new players for a mid table finish?

The job is now a poisoned challice.

He would be my first choice out of all the candidates and hopefully bring some players on the cheap with him :ayatollah:
