Leeds United have apologised to Derby County and issued a statement saying they will remind head coach Marcelo Bielsa of the club’s principles of "integrity and honesty" in the wake of the recent spying revelations.

Derbyshire Police had been called to Derby's training gound after a member of United's coaching staff was caught surreptitiously watching the session.

Bielsa subsequently admitted before Leeds played Derby at Elland Road that he had sent someone to spy on Derby, and the club have now issued a response in which they confirmed they have met with Derby officials.

"Following comments made by Marcelo Bielsa yesterday (Friday) the club will look to work with our head coach and his staff to remind them of the integrity and honesty which are the foundations that Leeds United is built on," read an official statement from Leeds United.

"Our owner Andrea Radrizzani has met with Derby County's owner Mel Morris to formally apologise for Marcelo's actions.

"We will make no further comment on this matter."

Leeds have not had any decent principles in place for the last 50 odd years at least, Brian Clough called them out, a horrible club with no morals.
 
Boas this, Bielsa’s reaction to it is amazing; literally not a care in the world. Lampard absolutely fuming, the 5Live lads are all calling for 10 point deductions; Jenas referring to war in his example!

I’ve always liked Bielsa, now I like him even more.
Lampard who tapped the players in the England camp and furthered his own club by nefarious means. Cheating in old money.

The irony is lost on him.
 
If an opponent is holding an open training session prior to a match against you and you DON'T have somebody watching, I would say that's bordering on negligence.
I see Bielsa has just had a press conference and said he has had someone watch training sessions for every team they have played this season. If you could, why wouldn't you. As you say, bordering on negligence not to.
 
Its crazy the amount of work the boss put in lol - Marcelo Bielsa has analysed TWENTY SIX Luton games to try to second guess Nathan Jones at Stoke City
He says he and his staff watched 51 Derby County games and analysed each for four hours to make brief presentations for Leeds players to take into the match. was just a tiny touch of it

The level of detail he went into is exactly what you see for players within that Wyscout app, it's real proper heavy analysis totally on a different level to transfermarkt or whoscored. It's very interesting hearing a manager go through it like that though.
