Leeds United kick off their Championship campaign away to Bristol City on August 4.
Leeds United fans on Twitter are taking swipes at Bristol City boss Lee Johnson.
It was reported by The Bristol Post on Tuesday that Johnson would be holding an open training session on July 30, ahead of welcoming Leeds to Ashton Gate in their Championship opener on August 4.
The gesture could be a bit of a dig at United boss Marcelo Bielsa, whose side were fined £200,000 by the English Football League last season over the infamous Spygate saga.
Back in January, the Argentine sent a staff member to observe Derby County’s training session on the eve of facing the Rams in what was one of the biggest controversies that English football witnessed last season.
As a result of that debacle, the EFL modified its rules to forbid any team ‘directly or indirectly’ watching an opponent’s training session up to 72 hours before the game – and it just so happens that Bristol’s training session is indeed more than three days before Bielsa’s side visit.
If he wanted, the 64-year-old could technically attend or send another ‘spy’ – and here’s how Leeds fans are reacting to Johnson’s idea.
