Spying malarkey

Could be turned into a book I'm sure

Of course they all do it. It’s up to clubs to ensure their training grounds are fully secure if they’re so precious about their tactics being spotted.

 

Completely agree. Derby should be done for wasting police time

 

Even Gary Neville has had a go at Henry Winter and said: 'So its ok for our journalists to break into dressing rooms or climb over barbed wire fences to take photos of England training and then publish the team-sheet' Winter never replied and Winter just said it was immoral what Bielsa did. Immoral doesn't make it illegal and Immoral is a subjective term because football is a business....

It would be immoral for another club to come in and offer Madrid more cash to steal our new keeper. yes maybe immoral but it happens every window to some club

 

Le Tiss too

 

Did the bellend really say that, can't be feeling very well.

 

You just know if it was Big Sam or Steve Bruce there wouldnt be another word about it. Seems to be a section in the UK media circus that cant tolerate foreigners at all but I guess every country has that. Causes clouded views in my opinion

 

Double posting again. Damn internet

 

Nixon is a football realist. Like me, he has the misfortune to be a dyed-in-the-wool Partick Thistle supporter.

 

Ah, so hes the other one

 

Strikes me that some of the media are bordering on being racist, could be a good card to keep up our sleeves.
One foreign manager out All out.

 

Gerritupye!

 

Head coach Marcelo Bielsa will be "reminded of the integrity and honesty" of Leeds United after he admitted sending a staff member to 'spy' on a Derby County training session.

Before Leeds' 2-0 win over the Rams on Friday, Bielsa said he was responsible after a man was seen outside the Rams' training ground the previous day.

Leeds have also "formally apologised" for Bielsa's pre-match conduct.

The Football Association has said it is investigating the incident.

A Leeds statement said: "Following comments made by Marcelo Bielsa on Friday, the club will look to work with our head coach and his staff to remind them of the integrity and honesty which are the foundations that Leeds United is built on.

"Our owner Andrea Radrizzani has met with Derby County's owner Mel Morris to formally apologise for Marcelo's actions."

Derbyshire Police removed the man and no arrests were made.

 

OK now is the time to keep shtum. Don't give any one the chance to think they have got us on the run.

 

Disappointed in Rads actions if I’m honest, should have refused to comment unless he fears Derby pushing it further, we joke about points deducted but nothing surprises me now

 

If, and it is a big if, the FA EFL need to be very careful in their approach to this. They could be found guilty of bringing the game into disrepute or even inciting violence. Know what I mean.

 

Reckon its all about being media savvy and informing the FA the club have not been aware and don't condone it and have now dealt with it. If the FA want a war it will be bloody because Radz already detests the FA and there is too much evidence that this practice goes on everywhere...


Will the FA want battering with a race card because it's starting to look like its them feeling It
