So Joe, will he stay or will he go?

If he goes there will be trouble.
And if he stays it will be double.

Re: Bielsa
Haven't we discussed this on here last year?

Yes, to death.

i'm sure we were banging on about him when he was at bilbao

well corny was

And Marseille. He didn't last long there etc...

Anyway, shouldn't we be waiting for Jonathan Wilson to write another article about him before we rehash the same lines again?

is that corny's nom de plume ?

Who bloody knows? Weirdest season ever so far...

Have you watched Star Wars yet?

have many, but Jonathan Wilson isn't one of them..

I think the real dilemma is who do you get next.
Not really. Get anyone.

The real dilemma is who you get to replace them, i.e. the person you want in long term charge.

@chelsea Short term r us FC?

TBF it's kept them in good stead. They've abandoned what they did best to try and emulate manyoo/fergie with the worst person in football for anything long term. jose is only bettered by Bielsa!

There was a tiny tiny minority of us that suggested if we'd won the league in 2013 we'd have gone on to be a complete embarrassment as holders in the following year. Can you imagine if it were liverpool in this position?! Christ you'd all be doing the fuckin conga!!

Bielsa in the frame for Swansea job, having him in the league would be amazing...

There's more to football than just putting the boot in/piss taking.

can't tell if I'm serious or Huw Jenkins?

I'm thinking his madness and tactical nous would put the wind up both the press and the football hegemony. His utter devotion to the high press, dismissal of the press and his chairman, and the fact that his teams play intense/impressive football for 2/3rds of a season before imploding, mean it won't ever be boring.

And if he survives and keeps Swansea up, and Guardiola comes across to Man City next season, you'd have teacher and disciple in the same league again.

I think if we stopped J Wilson, we might #stopfootball

If things were to go awry quickly which they easily could Jenkins could find his hard work undone super quick.

Why would employing Bielsa fit with Swansea's template.

His utter devotion to the high press, dismissal of the press and his chairman, and the fact that his teams play intense/impressive football for 2/3rds of a season before imploding, mean it won't ever be boring.

But it does mean he's virtually unemployable.

I'm not ruling out relegation, we are THAT shit. If it can happen at Chelsea than it can certainly happen at Swansea.

Leaving a club one game into the new season tends to do that to someone's reputation.
