Marcelo Bielsa’s name continues to do the rounds right now and it looks as though we are edging closer to bringing him in.
It is, of course, perhaps taking longer than we’d imagined and certainly than we’d have liked but there’s nothing to suggest that it definitely is not going to happen right now.
We can remain positive for now, then, and it looks as though Phil Hay’s latest update suggests we’re edging nearer with money not a problem:
Money won't be an issue for Marcelo Bielsa. Happy with the package Leeds are offering. But still negotiating over plans, infrastructure and the way he wants the club to function under him. #lufc

Indeed, Bielsa is clearly happy with what the club has offered financially and now we just need to iron out the remaining issues.
The Verdict
Certainly, I was concerned that the Whites were going to miss out on the Argentine due to money if nothing else but this looks set to be no problem at all.
We can only hope that we get these other obstacles out of the way now, then.
