Leeds spygate scandal

SELR_addicks

Bielsa is currently having a press conference where he is releasing all of the information and data he built up for the match against Derby.

Stuff like the formations they tend to struggle against and specifics like Bielsa showing a video to demostrate what Harry Wilson is planning to do when he raises both hands before taking a corner.

Pretty big middle finger tactic against Derby who complained about him.

(The spying on training aspect is actually legal anyway.)

It's not a big deal, managers should be more concerned with players cheating on the pitch...

I think this is brilliant, and fair play to bielsa

I'm sure it goes on much more widely than is talked about. Lampard's allegation that the member of staff was found on his hands and knees trying to cut through a perimeter fence with pliers is pretty astonishing though.

I'm sure we can all agree that criminal damage is illegal, and in the context of getting the information they were after, pretty stupid.

Good work by the Leeds manager, provided no law or trespass took place.

"Bielsa: "I don't need to go to watch a training session of an opponent to know how the opponent plays."

After showing an hour of information just from studying old Derby matches.

If you really want to see how a team plays just go and watch them play a game.
This spygate shite has been blown out of all proportion

Apparently the books behind him are dossiers just from friendly games this summer and a review of last season.

The man is on a different level.

Frank Lampard has got to be feeling pretty stupid right now.

The amount of research Bielsa does is incredible.

"Stoke are next up for Leeds. But they've changed manager. So since Nathan Jones took charge (last week), Bielsa and his staff have analysed every game he had at Luton this season. "

And now every other team in the Championship are aware of Derby's weaknesses.

Bielsa is incredible, odd and entertaining. But spying can help, it would show who is playing and potentially any new tricks, yet compared to his dossier of work it would be a small help. Every little helps though.

It's also completely legal.

The bloke is an absolute fruit loop but he would be brilliant for the Premier League.

Fucking brilliant... Love this bloke!!

So glad he's not going anywhere

Chris_from_Sidcup

Bit of an upgrade from Paul Heckingbottom!

And for a side who less than 5 years ago had Dave Hockaday, Darko Milanic and Neil Redfearn as their manager in the same season.

The Red Robin

Ultimate f*ck you to Lampard and the EFL.

ForeverAddickted

I wonder if he's done it deliberately what with Derby playing tonight!!... Can just imagine Lampard's teamtalk being pretty short:

"Harry, keeping your fecking hands down when taking those corners"

Am I the only one who is uncomfortable with this?

I have no love for Lampard or Derby but this just leaves a bitter taste.
And reading all the journos on Twitter literally coming over it makes it worse.
It’s not like it’s a new thing all this analysis by heh, you caught us spying & grassed us up so we’re going to make you pay.

Dirty Leeds.

No but dirty Leeds are now amusing rather than violent.

Whilst the game is still rife with diving, shifty agents and cunt owners I think this is somehow a breath of fresh air and “old school” at the same time, fair play to Bielsa.
