Leeds United have come in for criticism.
Ex-Arsenal defender Martin Keown heavily criticised Leeds United after the Spygate row.
Keown dismissed Marcelo Bielsa’s Wednesday evening press conference, saying he felt the Leeds boss ‘cheated’, via The Mail, adding: “If this was my manager spying on our opponents’ training sessions, I would be embarrassed.”
Former Leeds striker Michael Bridges took issue with Keown’s comments on Twitter, calling out the ex-Gooner’s poor disciplinary record.
Keown to be fair did address his own actions in his playing career, commenting: “I won’t pretend that I was the best-behaved player on the pitch. But when I did overstep the mark during a game, it was a reaction in the heat of battle.”
The EFL is investigating the Leeds boss, but it is unclear if they will pose any sanctions against him or the club.
Bielsa has admitted sending ‘spies’ to scout every opponent Leeds have faced this season. He maintains it is just a minor part of his painstaking research into the opposition.
Earlier this week Stuart Pearce told Sky Sports that he believes Leeds’ 2-0 win over Derby should be reversed.
