Life around LUFC is going to be toxic for the rest of the season, and no-one knows whether we’ll survive in the Premiership side. I’ve shed tears since hearing the news last night - we have never and will never have a manager who so thoroughly transforms a club, from the pitch, it’s mentality, it’s public ‘persona’, the sheer exuberance - Marcelo was a genuine one-off. Yet despite all of that, I’m still of the opinion the board had to act. Yes, they may well have been eyeing the pound signs, and they had clearly lined up Jesse Marsch from the summer onwards, but Marcelo was so set in his ways that if change is required then a parting of the ways was the only outcome. Right up to the post Spurs post-match interview, Bielsa was still insisting his way is THE way, despite the evidence suggesting otherwise?
I don’t necessarily think the list of players Nick listed will all leave, but if they do then hopefully they will demonstrate their value on the pitch in the next 12 games. I don’t subscribe to lots of fan views that the players have let the club down - many simply arn’t good enough, and the man-to-man approach against the best Premiership players has been humiliating to watch. I do wonder how the Bielsa way has impacted regarding our injury list though - it is logical that it has to be partly responsible. I also wonder if any players were consulted in this decision? Obviously we may never find out, but I’d be amazed if senior players hadn’t been asked for their views? There’ll be more tears shed in chez Lee, but let’s remember the mantra SIDE BEFORE SELF MOT!
