I believe Bielsa has completely pulled the rug from under the EFL. This was a masterstroke reason being in isolation the 1 episode with FF could be portrayed as something out of the norm. The fact that he says it's a normal part of his set up shows he didn't mean to be underhand with his actions and can plead ignorance and not malice.

I hope you’re right Wex, it was certainly pure Bielsa! I’m not sure it will stop a punishment but hopefully he has provided more context and background. Think there will still be a fine and perhaps a touch line ban with the request that it stops.

He has also shown what a tiny part of the preparation the observation actually is so the advantage gained from it would be minute. Therefore not cheating at all because it provides little value compared with everything else.

Fat Frank says that presentation was nothing special, all clubs do that sort of prep. If that's so Frankie baby, what's gone wrong with your prep? Typical bloody public schoolboy, go crying to Matron.

Of course, who started was the first to start having files on Leeds opponents in the 1960’s?

They call it Spying, Bielsa studied all of our opposition league games from the last season up to present date and it's spying! Other managers send coaches or attend an up and coming oppositions next match and it called research. Unless our "spy" entered the opposition's property without an invite then no law has been broken. No one can prove any Leeds staff member has entered any other clubs property this season unlawfully. Bielsa has told them we sent someone to watch all our opponents but no proof exist that we trespassed or other than Derby it even happened!
