Marcelo Bielsa is set to become the highest paid boss in Leeds United history, according to the Phil Hay of the Yorkshire Evening Post.

Should Leeds be breaking the bank for the Argentinian?

We discuss.....

Jay Williams

It is a statement of intent: Leeds are willing to pay big money to bring in the right man to get them up.

Whether this pays off or backfires remains to be seen but he is highly regarded in world football and that comes with a price.

Whatever happens needs to be done as soon as possible because Leeds are wasting valuable time in the transfer window now with a delayed appointment.

George Dagless

It makes sense to pay big but with Leeds' recent history there might be a bit of concern about it.

I think he'll do a good job if he's given what he wants but Leeds will need to be careful they don't go too big and then regret it.

I think Radrizzani knows what he is doing financially, though.

Alfie Burns

It’s only right that the manager of a football club is earning more than the playing squad, how else is he meant to have authority?

Bielsa is the high-profile name that Leeds needed this summer and supporters won’t be fussed that it is costing the club.

It feels like Leeds are finally having a real go.

Chris Gallagher

It's inevitable.

He is a coach known and respected over the world so he is going to cost. It shows great ambition from the club that they are willing to splash out on him.

Now, they need to back Bielsa in everything he does and wants as he looks to seal promotion which would make his salary seem cheap.
