What I dont understand is the uproar about this case as it has been happening for year. People have been found out over the year. But only this time its a massive issue.

Why is everyone jumping on this one? Dont get it.

Because Leeds it is!

If they’re not Leeds, they tend to hate Leeds.

Just the way it is.

Go figure...

You must understand that football is a game where everyone involved is as pure as the driven snow.

No manager has ever made an illegal approach for a player or attempted to intimidate a referee. No player has ever tried to injure another player or commit a cynical foul to prevent a goal. Nobody has ever dived for a penalty or rolled in fake agony to get a fellow professional sent off. No players have ever been involved in a late night brawl, drug taking, sexual assault or illegal betting. Football administrators have never taken a bribe to award a world cup.

But watching the opposition train? That is almost as bad as murder.

Many just can’t handle our success, not ow, not in the 60s, 70s, 80s 90s, or 2000s.

Simples.

Jonny, yeah agree... but what I have noticed a lot as I post / read the prem boards too is that we are really missed.

The views of every random manager are irrelevant, who cares what Gerrard or Hughton or Potter thinks? football will move onto something else in a couple of days, Sky are just trying to keep to controversy going.

Bielsa has laid his cards out, not lied and reasoned and explained his argument well. Up to EFL now, I expect a fine, a warning and then a rule change. This will blow over after tomorrow.

I disagree with this. It is a perfectly valid discussion to be had on the issue, and managers should be able to offer their opinions and insights into the matter, as it is an issue that is relevant to them.

Former players like Bent and Andrews aren't effected by the issue so should learn to not talk about it. That's the issue for me.

Fair point Lubo, but a week after the incident and Sky are still pumping every manager for an opinion and featuring it as a headline story. It has gone well beyond what is reasonable for such a trivial matter.

"Jonny, yeah agree... but what I have noticed a lot as I post / read the prem boards too is that we are really missed."

True, many genuine fans have expressed their interest in seeing Leeds back in the Prem.

Because the ore match press conferences have been the first time that they've had the opportunity to ask most of these managers the question.

...and they need to ask every manager?

and repeat the answers every half hour?

I've changed channels!
