The Leeds board will know if he doesn’t get what he wants he will walk
Danny Mills
“The Leeds board will know if he doesn’t get what he wants he will walk,” Mills told Football Insider.
“The owners know they can’t make promises and then not deliver because he will up sticks and walk out, as he has done at other clubs in the past.
“Maybe Bielsa feels he needs to strengthen in two to three areas and wants assurances from the owners they will agree to his proposal. Otherwise, he might think the team could struggle.
“It’s a small squad and the injury toll has killed them this season. Maybe he is not prepared to stay if they don’t back him in the way he wants.”

Bielsa holds all the cards in the negotiations, as he doesn’t have any affinity to England or Leeds, added Mills.
He just wants to add to his squad, and subsequently, do the best job he can.
But if he doesn’t get the players he needs, there’s every chance he could walk away from Leeds.
The Argentine manager was given a three-year deal last year, which is worth around £3.7million-a-season for him, and his nine coaches.
