Carl Sagan Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 If the £200k fine is for spying on us and Leeds proclaimed they spied prior to every other prior game that season (not sure how many but 20+), surely the fine should be £200k for each game so around £4million. Then it feels more like an appropriate punishment. Plus, if the fine is specific to our game, then clearly we should get the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lazerock Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 I wrote a bit about Spygate a couple of weeks ago. It's the only blogpost I never tweeted. Couldn't be bothered with spending the next three days blocking Leeds fans... http://www.derbycountyblog.com/on-spygate/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s fair to say there has been a fair bit of co-operation/negotiation with Leeds in terms of what the punishment would be. You’d think the best thing is just accept it and move on wouldn’t you? The only thing I can add to it is I’m surprised Bielsa hasn’t been charged individually with something like ‘bringing the game into disrepute’. But I guess Leeds accepting the fine, the reprimand and being cooperative for future rulings has helped them sweep it all under the rug. Like I say, you’d think common sense would tell you just to move on very quickly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if the letter that was signed by 11 clubs ended up having a few more signatures then you would have seen a much bigger punishment and possibly at that point a points deduction could have been an actual real possibility. I think by only having 11 clubs sign it then the punishment could only be limited because it wasn’t in the leagues interest to do so? So they had to act on the evidence provided rather than investigate any further. Don’t know, that’s largely guesswork but I imagine if 23 clubs signed a letter like that then there would be a case for a huge investigation.

Maybe if they'd waited until season's end they'd have had their 23 signatures..... Bielsa got intercepted ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have received a formal reprimand and a warning and Leeds have promised not to do it again. Since we all know Leeds are one of the most trustworthy clubs in Englan I dont think we'll be seeing them spying round here again anytime soon.

Then they’ll have no defence, and a points deduction will be the only option. Alas I don’t think they’re that stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 The gofundme got to two and a half grand. To think that could go to Whippet's refuge, ehbygum addiction action, help for flat caps, or, any other worthy cause on the many social blights that affect the humble, trod upon folk of Leeds...

vidukasbox Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 I must say, it was easily worth £200K just to see Frank Lampard almost in tears having a hissy fit live on national telly. Bueno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozza Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 Two and a half grand would go a long way towards the cost of a decent spy drone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bueno. Lampard’s “hissy fit” live on national TV was easily worth the weeks of Yorkshire twitchy bums, tears and cries of “but we broke no rules”. Throw in the hilarious Gofundme I’ve not had to watch a single episode of Emmerdale for a couple of months now. EE bah gum it’s been great I tell ya.
