Brunners 7,952 Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Watching the Morecambe game and a Morecambe player just twisted his leg and originally went down literally with his knees on the touchline, realised he was too close to the edge of the pitch, stood up, walked back into play and then lay back down lol. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

The Barnsley lad, Woodrow did the same when we were beating them 1-0 under JW, only he was actually off the pitch and walked back on to lie down in their box... could have understood it if they were winning, but when you are 1-0 down it just seemed strange to me. Part of the modern game I suppose but still leaves a bad taste in the mouth Edited May 20, 2021 by Old Codger 3 Link to post Share on other sites
wilsoncgp 9,230 Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 Nuno Santos being moved on, was rumours of going to Spurs at one point wasn't there? I can't tell whether this is framing a new Wolves manager to be announced or preparing the fans for him joining somebody else. Maybe he's asked them to announce it so he can say bye to the Wolves fans. Link to post Share on other sites
Old Codger 3,039 Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 Nuno leaving Wolves at end of season... obviously far too big a paypacket for us, but would have to say that he certainly seems to have established them in the Prem Link to post Share on other sites

I’d say the Spurs job is his and they are going about it in an attempted nice way for the wolves fans Link to post Share on other sites
White Band 831 Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 It says it is by mutual consent. Not sure which party has someone/something else lined up. If Wolves have pushed him out that could come back to bite them. Not sure they'd really be able to do better. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

He seems to be more of a Spurs type manager (not really basing that of anything more than a gut feeling). In any case he's had a hell of a season with Leeds. Link to post Share on other sites

Apart from his international coaching roles, this is the longest time Bielsa has been in a job. I don't think many other top division clubs would be willing to give him the freedom Leeds does, either. Can you imagine him working well with Dan Levy? I can't. Leeds worship him from the top down and it's pretty understandable. Link to post Share on other sites
p_mards 1,363 Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 Yeah Bielsa seems to be thriving at Leeds' environment. Victor Orta and him must have a great working relationship. Leeds' culture behind the scenes seems incredible as the likes of Cooper, Ayling, Dallas, Klich, Roberts, Harrison etc have improved so much. Harrison couldn't even get a kick of a ball her under Pulis yet he's excelling in the Premier League for Leeds. What if Gibson didn't sack Orta after relegation in 2017? I think the past 4 seasons of Middlesbrough FC and Leeds FC show beyond any doubt which of Orta and Gibson is the better at running a football club. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe I am mis remembering history but wasn't Orta castigated at the time for being the cause of all our ills and we were better off without him? Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah I remember that too. Think the Gazette did a proper hatchet job on the lot of them when they left barring Leo. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
