With the ongoing controversy over Spygate and whether or not Leeds United manager Marcelo Bielsa brought the game into disrepute or broke one of the EFL or Football Association’s rules when instructing a member of staff to stand on a public road and make a few notes – Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola was doing his best on Monday to change the headlines from the normal braying pack of morons filling the airwaves.
With Bielsa playing a key part in Guardiola’s decision to go into management, it’s no surprise to see him praise our gaffer.
"I'm a supporter of Leeds." Pep Guardiola says he wants to see Leeds United and Marcelo Bielsa in the Premier League next season:https://t.co/FTAFTDyAVL

In saying he was a ‘supporter’ of the club and would love to see us gain promotion this season into the Premier League so the English top flight could get a taste of ‘special manager’ Bielsa, Leeds fans reacting to his words on social media just had one simple request.
Get a loan arranged for young midfielder Phil Foden as many believe he’s the perfect replacement for the now departed Samu Saiz.
Lend us Foden then
