Bilic sends Bielsa message
West Bromwich Albion manager Slaven Bilic has shared his thoughts on fellow boss Marcelo Bielsa of Leeds United and explained why he 'loves' him the most as a manager.
Bilic and Bielsa went head to head last season in the Championship as Leeds won the title and the Baggies secured the second automatic promotion spot.
The former Croatia manager has now discussed his views on some of the best managers in world football and he name-dropped Bielsa in a passionate speech on what separates the top bosses including Jurgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola.
Bilic explained : "All the big coaches, the difference between them and others it's not just talent, it's even questionable whether it is talent. They are crazy.
Ryan Kent deal
Leeds United could “blow Rangers out of the water” in regards to the wages they could offer Ryan Kent, according to former striker Kris Boyd.
Kent has been linked with a move to Elland Road recently, as Marcelo Bielsa looks to strengthen his squad ahead of their first season back in the Premier League.
The winger moved to Ibrox on loan initially in 2018/19, before making the permanent switch from Liverpool last summer.
The 23-year-old has started the Scottish Premiership season very well - scoring twice in four league matches for Steven Gerrard’s side.
Premier League relegation odds
Fulham, West Bromwich Albion and Aston Villa are the three favourites to be relegated from the Premier League next season with Leeds United predicted to survive their first season back in the top flight.
The Baggies have been named as the early favourites, at 19/20, to go straight back down to the Championship following their stumble into the automatic promotion places.
Fulham, like West Brom, have just come up from the second-tier, and the Pools believe they are likely to be relegated in their first season back - with evens odds.
Villa, however, will be in their second season in the Premier League, after defying all the odds to remain in the division on the final day of the campaign.
