According to The Times, Leeds United will not hand Marcelo Bielsa a huge transfer budget this summer.

The report, though, has claimed that Leeds will back Bielsa as much as they can financially to get the players he wants in the summer transfer window.

It has also been claimed that the Argentine has sought reassurances over which hotels the Championship club are planning to stay in before away matches next season.

Positive

That Bielsa is reportedly planning about which hotels to stay in next season before away matches is very positive.

It suggests that the Argentine will carry on in the role as the Leeds head coach, and that must really please the Elland Road faithful.

Under Bielsa, Leeds reached the Championship playoffs this campaign, and the fans will hope for something even better next season.

Negative

However, the report in The Times claims that Bielsa will not be a huge transfer budget, and that will worry Leeds fans.

Bielsa got the most of the players he inherited last summer, and the team falling short this season suggests that he needs better footballers to clinch automatic promotion.
