Hi all, emergency press conference At 5pm has been called by Bielsa. Hopefully it's to unveil Kiko, but knowing our luck he bloody resigns, anyways, up the whites
ALAW.

Not to unveil Kiko according to the YEP, but more on Spygate. Not sure he needs to say anything more today. Possibly to clearly apologise and clarify that he won’t do it again. Also to keep it seperate from the football press conference tomorrow. Hope it’s nothing more than that, but with Bielsa you never quite know. I thought he looked terrible after the game on Friday but watching his body language talking to Orta yesterday, he seemed a lot more relaxed.

Sounds like he's calling out the FL, no apologies, he's now doing a PowerPoint thingy to let the press know how a coach's mind works.

Send a video of it to Fat Frank, he needs all the help he can get and sign it 'love Bubba' :-)

Fat Frank does all that stuff anyway, have to say, it doesn't show.

Looks like Daniel James bid has hit the rocks. Not that upset really if the alternative is O'Dowda. The boy is the real deal. Would love to see hime on the wing in white. The lad has a fine touch, a sweet left foot and pace to burn. Go get him.

Thanks for that Leodis, don’t know a lot about him. What I like is Bielsa clearly going for young talent that he can clearly develop on the pitch. Obviously alongside much needed experience for the gk position.

I'm a bit worried about this investigation.
I know I'm a pessimist but I can honestly see points reduction coming.
I think radz was a bit premature with his apology and fair play statement. That is admitting guilt.
I hope he toughens up and gets his lawyers to take it to court and subpoena every other team in the league (s) to see if they have done it! What's good for the goose etc.
in the meantime I would announce a ground ban for Lampard and Derby!
Finally. Let's use this to thump the living daylights out of everybody in particular brum and Millwall.

Whats the difference in scouts or indeed the manager going to watch an opponents match the previous week. It's a lot off bullshoot. Points deduction was always going to be the FL's goal. Wouldn't surprise me if they hit us with 15 points to get us out of the top 6. Problem is for them, we would still come close to a top two finish. The day in the life of a Leeds United Supporter . MoT.

Would also be a neat way out of televising games. Isn't that giving other clubs information on the way you play! More than one way to skin a cat.

If there is, and I mean IF, a knee jerk reaction to this sham, then if I was Radz, I'd ban Sly Spurts from Elland Road. All they seem to continue to do is bring on pundits who clearly have a dislike for our club, and believe that we should be made an example of. Make an example of us for what? SS rely on us being an attractive proposition for their subscribers, hence the regular disturbance to our fixtures. Maybe they should be left to show Millwall every week?

Can't see that EFL can sanction a points deduction, at worse a nominal fine . Seems we are being tried by media, and I guess the EFL and FA will feel duty bound to show they are doing something. Maybe the EFL should do more to charge the teams that are breaching the FFP than being drawn into this witch hunt. The fact is there is no rule for spying on the opposition so they having to trawl through their rules to find a rule to fit this in to charge us. Radz must put his legal team on standby, we are Leeds and they can't beat us on the pitch.

Great post Mezzer nailed it!

There's a precedent for the punishment albeit it it was the Prem. Crystal Palace got "inside info" on the Cardiff team, Cardiff wanted the game replayed and the PL ended up fining Palace £25,000. Just a bit of perspective, then again the FL is not the PL, nevertheless, it's guidance for them, and us ;)

Radz should give Massimo a call, he knows some very good lawyers ;)
