    Not a PL thing but a story I'm interested in.

    I remember watching Chili play with him as manager and I loved the way they played, I've kept track of his career since then and it's had its ups and downs but it's always interesting. Known as the mad one this could be fun or funny to watch.

    I'm not so sure that the players at Leeds will buy inot the extreme work rate required to play his style of footy but if they do I think they'll get promoted.

    First game I'll see next season; Swansea v Leeds.

    Be interesting to see how he gets on but I won't lie, I hope the horrible Yorkshire ****s get relegated.

    <ok>

    Will be a complete disaster, he runs his players into the ground which is fine at international teams but at club level (and in a 46 game season) his squad will be ****ed by February.

    It will be funny to watch though as Leeds are ****s

    I'll be surprised if he's still there in October.

    El Loco at L. ****os.

    Pochettino's mentor, so there's already a lot of speculation about us loaning them players.
    It could all go horribly wrong there and it probably will, but it should be interesting while it lasts.

    He's a fantastic manager, this is a real coup for Leeds.

    Obviously I agree. Not so sure the Leeds players will buy into his methods though.

  12. Somehow, I don't think you're interested in what I have to say on the subject. Not even if I do so in your own tongue BH.

    On the contrary. You made a statement and I'd love to hear your reasons behind it.

  18. Oh, so you're an expert, are you, Libby?

    Please, mate. I've studied their tongue, and its various dialects for several years. I know how to handle this, yeah?

    Anyway, Biesla at Leeds should be fun however it pans out. I think they'll be brilliant up until Christmas but can see them burning out.

    I've wanted to see him in England for a while so I'm definitely interested to see how he gets on.
