Fri Jun 01, 2018 10:47 am

According to my sources (SkySports ;) ) Paul Heckingbottom has been sacked by Leeds United and will be replaced by Marcelo Bielsa. What an appointment that would be, I remember he was touted to replace Malky.



UPDATED



Paul Heckingbottom has been sacked as Leeds head coach after less than four months in charge at Elland Road, according to Sky sources.

Reports had earlier linked former Argentina, Athletic Bilbao and Marseille manager Marcelo Bielsa with the role and it is understood that Heckingbottom has now left the club.

They are a joke of a club who treat their managers like dirt but have to end up paying them big pay off's when they are sacked.

Last august they were waxing lyrical about Christianson. That didn't last long.

Alan Nixon is very good. Reported about Bielsa too.

Even the armchair Leeds fans I work with, are getting embarrassed by the actions of their owners.

He blocked me for some reason haha! He's usually OK. Would be one hell of a deal. But Bielsa isn't really renowned for his loyalty. Quit Lazio after 2 days because they didn't sign anyone

LEEDS SACK HECKINGBOTTOM

01/06/18

Paul Heckingbottom has been sacked as Leeds head coach after less than four months in charge at Elland Road, according to Sky sources.

Reports had earlier linked former Argentina, Athletic Bilbao and Marseille manager Marcelo Bielsa with the role and it is understood that Heckingbottom has now left the club.

The 40-year-old left Barnsley to take up the job in February and guided Leeds to a 13th-place finish in the Sky Bet Championship.

However, Heckingbottom guided Leeds to just four wins in 16 games after taking charge.

Heckingbottom succeeded Thomas Christiansen, who left the club on February 4.

Yeah exactly, Villa never even mentioned. He said we had big transfer fee agreed, wages agreed , deal nearly completed. Then he joins Villa on loan :lol: Amari'i Bell was the same, he said Bell was nearly done then he goes and joins Blackburn!
