“Will always be remembered” Leeds United plan to Pay tribute to Marcelo Bielsa in a special way…. Really worth MOT respect

“Will always be remembered” Leeds United plan to Pay tribute to Marcelo Bielsa in a special way.

Leeds United are aiming for a swift return to the Premier League under Daniel Farke, but while that remains a work in progress, the 49ers have plenty to do to ensure the club’s infrastructure is up to par.

Leeds fans have long been in need of an improved matchday experience, and it appears the club has already started making some cosmetic updates.

Leeds Announces Centenary Square Updates, Including Stones for Bielsa, Wilkinson, and Revie


The club’s official website has confirmed that from October onwards, minor updates will begin on the exterior of Elland Road’s East Stand. This includes replacing the engraved stones purchased by fans outside the Centenary Pavilion with newer, higher-quality replicas.

“Leeds United are pleased to announce that the club will be replacing all of the current Centenary Square stones free of charge to fans, while also creating more space for supporters to purchase new stones,” the statement read. “The new stones will be exact replicas, but of much better quality, thanks to a new company the club is working with. The installation will take up to two months and is set to start in October.”

Additionally, new, larger stones will be installed in Centenary Square to honor the club’s three legendary managers: Don Revie, Howard Wilkinson, and Marcelo Bielsa. “As part of the new stones’ introduction, we will be installing three larger stones dedicated to former managers Don Revie, Howard Wilkinson, and Marcelo Bielsa. These centerpiece stones will be similar to those in Bremner Square.”



Long Overdue Honors for Wilkinson and Bielsa, But More is Needed

While it’s encouraging to see Wilkinson and Bielsa being recognized, these tributes are long overdue. Revie already has a statue, and Bielsa is celebrated in murals across the city. However, something more permanent and significant is needed for these two iconic managers, who have left a lasting impact on the club and the city of Leeds.
