Enda McEvoy: Journey or destination? The answer should be obvious

A mural of former Leeds United manager Marcelo Bielsa is displayed on the side of a building in the city. 

So adios, then, Marcelo Bielsa. Isaac Newton was right. In the end gravity will always make the apple fall and bonk you on the head.

The ghastly injury list, the second-lowest wage bill in the Premier League, the great man’s inability to abandon his principles and refit the house to stop the leaks. Maybe the real question wasn’t so much why Leeds – still fielding too many of the players Bielsa had inherited in the Championship - were struggling but rather why they hadn’t already been relegated.
