'Fuming' - Leeds United supporters have their say on Marcelo Bielsa Bournemouth links

Leeds United fans have given their thoughts on the reports of former manager Marcelo Bielsa taking the job at Bournemouth and are not happy.

Bielsa was the boss at Elland Road for four seasons from 2018 to 2022 where he parted ways with the club in February leaving them 16th in the table.

The Argentine manager would be replacing Cherries interim boss Gary O'Neil, who himself replaced Scott Parker who was sacked after just four games of the season following a 9-0 loss to Liverpool.

Many took to social media to discuss the rumours with some outright denying he'd take the position while others said they'd be incredibly angry. Here's what the Leeds fans had to say...

@DanielJ46083413: I can see the attraction, but I don’t think he’d ever do that. Especially not if we name the training ground after him.

@martitabaires: Forget it. No chance

@TheJeffrey22: If he wants a real challenge he should come back and sort this squad out. Love Marcelo, can’t bear the thought of him going to another English club

@marstonworld: The hilarious bit is all of us ‘widows’ know this would never happen, and the fact other people still think he could be lured is brilliant, I’m glad other people don’t get it, I hope it stays that way, it’s like an exclusive club.

@ThingsISayAndDo: Surely no chance of this happening? He never takes jobs mid season, it's one of his key stipulations. Suspect this story coming from the new owners rather than Bielsa's side

@Alltheleedstalk: I’m sorry but if he goes there... I’ll be fuming and won’t see him in the same way again

@josh_ctrlfc: He won’t, he already rejected an argentine side because he has previous connection with another team in the same league

@Allcheese1: This would break my heart
