Leeds United fans have been reacting to comments made by TalkSport pundit Jamie O’Hara about Marcelo Bielsa.

There’s no secret that the relationship between Leeds United fans and their head coach is a special one based on the incredible work that he has done since he was appointed in 2018, and so long as he keeps them in the Premier League and provides them with the entertaining football they have become accustomed to, that love affair is not likely to slow down at any point soon.

However, speaking on TalkSport following the departure of Jose Mourinho at Tottenham Hotspur, O’Hara felt that Bielsa would be the perfect man to become the next head coach at Spurs, and that Leeds fans should accept that Spurs are a ‘bigger club’ than theirs.

Leeds fans were not willing to take those remarks lying down, as they launched into a scathing attack both on the idea itself as well as O’Hara for even making the suggestion:

“These haven’t got a clue”

“Lol. Good luck with that.”
“Looks like someone wants to be just like Adrian Durham, tragic!!!”
“Spurs bigger than Leeds what a joke.”
“A club that joined the Super League wouldn’t be a club Bielsa would involve himself with”
“More chance of Alan Brazil replacing Bamford up front for us”

Are you confident Bielsa can get Leeds into the top half of the table by the end of the season?

Yes

Yes

No

No

The Argentinian’s deal is set to expire in the summer so the possibility is there, but given all the other factors involved, you can’t really see him making that move at this moment in time.
