Watchers In The Woods v Cunty Frank's Derby Lampstands CK

[dirty leeds]

Just noticed this bit in the YEP article reporting that the EFL will be considering Spygate at its regular board meeting tomorrow:

"The YEP understands that the staff member sent by Bielsa [to Derby] was in possession of secateurs, for the purpose of allowing a clearer view from the public road he was standing on. The intern was spoken to by Derbyshire Police but was not arrested or charged. Derbyshire Police have since insisted they did not provide Derby with details of the items the intern was carrying."

So no "bolt cutters" or "pliers" to break fences or locks, but something to trim a leaf or two on a bush outside the private space.
Norwich now saying they don't want a points deduction or even a fine; they just want to know what, if anything, Leeds did at their place.
Apparently Bielsa was accompanied by the actual scout who went to Derby when he met the EFL in London a couple of weeks back, and we have now sent a detailed response in writing.

Nice to see FLDC doing well in their cup game.

[Mr Reality]

200k fine all over.

[eric olthwaite]

200k fine and case closed, apparently

[Wakefield White]

200k fine and case closed, apparently

I mean yeah, 200k is nothing, but part of me thinks we should tell them to fuck right off as we’ve broken no rules.

[eric olthwaite]

I think it’s a bit fucking steep compared to other fines but fuck it, let’s move on.

I think it’s a bit fucking steep compared to other fines but fuck it, let’s move on.

Probably my take on it. I want to be outraged (that’s a fuck lot of wedge for a championship club) but, fuck it, onwards.

This. But part of me hope really bad things happen to the Postman. Can we get BW to inject the cunt Salisbury style!

[Eddies Boots]

200k fine and case closed, apparently

good - got that nonsense out of the way - now work on getting promoted

[jackos]

Sounds reasonable to me. Worth 200k to put it behind us.

[Terre Harte]

Sounds reasonable to me. Worth 200k to put it behind us.

Agreed. Not my money. No points deduction and that's all I cared about. Onward and upward.

[welshwhite]

When I read that we were found guilty I was expecting a lot Worse.

I suppose the cunts had to be seen to be doing something.

[Chieftain626]

thank fuck that's over..

[Andymac-47]

You gotta laugh

[Mr Reality]

You gotta laugh

I know it's 11%.

[Phil LUFC]

You gotta laugh

I know it's 11%.

[welshwhite]

0.11

[AndyPaul]

200k seems a bargain to piss Frank Lampard and Derby off.

[Andymac-47]

You gotta laugh

I know it's 11%.

If you read that correctly, the boy says "near". It's clearly correct, but being a Maths teacher, I know you couldn't help yourself.

[the flying pig]

yep, £200k is real money by FL standards. for us it's far from trivial, for most clubs outside the championship it'd be potentially fatal. way OTT.
