nothing to do with the board. bielsa only wanted James and everything was agreed money wise. Swansea were at fault

Leeds should have had a plan b and had given Swansea an early deadline or we move on. We had to make sure we took no risks with the squad. I'm sure bielsa wouldn't have turned down a couple of quality additions.

I think people get so caught up in the Bielsa thing to be honest. If we do choke and don't go up, personally I would put all of that on Bielsa, not the board. He is quite stubborn in what he does, and is fixed on the choices he wants to make, whether the board had put alternative signings to him or not. There is no doubting the positive changes he has made, and hence the god like status. However, there is also a reason he has never won anything.

Personally I think the board though should have over ruled him and made the signings required, rather than what the manager wanted, in this particular case.

I believe he only walked from his job in France because they broke their promises on transfers

Another three points onwards to Tuesday v QPR. Back down to level second with Sheffield beating West Brom but the gap between 2 and 4 now 4 points. Every game is must win.
