I think Bielsa will stay, as his normal problem seems to be owners not
living upto promises and Radz seems to be on good terms with him but..
He is a retirement age bloke, who lives away from his family, through a
pandemic and is so intense he must be almost permanently mentally
exhausted. At some point he'll need a break
Transfers - most obvious reason is we might not have the money. We
spent £100m in the summer, we probably expected some gate receipts this
year when budgeting and now even full crowds for next year are looking
uncertain. Its probably more sensible to wait and see what the finances
look like in the summer.
2nd reason would be that player are generally over-priced in the Jan
window as desperate clubs try to save their seasons - we are not in that
category

Why would MB not re-sign? He must be having the time of his life... he
has free rein to do what he wants, he has a project that has Bielsa
stamped all over it, the football quality and style he is orchestrating
is being heralded by close to everyone, he is being moderately
successful in the best league in the world with decidedly average
players (he knows they are average and so does Rad), everyone at the
club worships him, and his boss has seen him just quadruple the value of
his investment (that’s the way to pease a businessman!) Please let me
know if you know of anyone who is going to walk away from that.
2 things left for him to achieve before he clears off to somewhere else:
win something (most likely a cup), and create the dynasty with a
mini-Bielsa installed to succeed him.
Give him 2 more seasons after this one to achieve both of those. We will
then be firmly re-established as a stable premier league club, the Leeds
brand will be synonymous with speed, style and quality, and we will have
another club legend forever.
Re signings: why would we not improve our squad if we could? You get 2
chances to do this each year, why would you throw one of them away?
Makes no sense to me.
