One of the conditions attached to the deal was a black and white striped stool / pouffe as Bielsa preferred to watch the game from low down, so the club asked the WI to knit a striped cover for the pouffe they ordered. My mum knitted it. When the deal for Bielsa didn't materialise, the club gave my mum the stool and she donated it, with the knitted cover, to the Cat's Trust for the moggies to sleep on. They still have it.Nope he was that close.
He had even spent three days in a hotel watching every single one of our games from the previous season and the half of the season where we were looking to appoint him back to back, worked out every player he wanted to keep and who he wanted to move on and was ready to sign up to a three year contract.
The powers that be at the last minute decided to pull the plug on the three year deal and asked him to sign a 6 month contract to be reviewed in the summer. The rest as they say was history.
