Can't imagine Fat Frank being so meticulous in his approach.

I thought Fat Frank was supposed to be some kind of genius. How stupid do you have to be to pick a fight with the likes of Bielsa?

It's the entitlement of yer Chelsea alumni

Amazing stuff from Bielsa. Being thorough is an understatement.

Would've paid good money to have watched this.

I'm looking forward to seeing Bielsa in the PL now. The level of detail and information that he gathers for each team is astounding. Does he ever leave the training ground?

 

[spursfan77]

He basically said he has spyed on all their opponents this season, hopefully that will shut up whinging Lampard

This is the same Lampard that was part off a Chelsea team that smuggled Mourinho in a laundry basket into the changing room during a Champions League tie because he was serving a ban!

I don't find what bielsa has done is bad at all. Worse things go on in football, besides I bet they're all at it. Yep, even his disciples!

Half the journos who attended now have more coaching qualifications than Sol Campbell ;-)

Is there a full video of the press conference?

Petroblood money - fine
"Spying" on Derby - Can't have that.

I haven't seen a video, all I've seen is this https://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co...edia-after-calling-press-conference-1-9540981

Short video but I'm hoping someone was dedicated enough to record the entire thing.

It may be wrong and morally reprehensible from a sporting perspective, but if other coaches aren't doing it then they're the idiots.

I doubt most of them can be bothered to be fair

 

[allatsea]

So twitter was wrong once again and he isn't, or hasn't, resigned.

To be honest I don't actually think it makes as big a difference as people are suggesting. As Bielsa alludes to in the video above, even spying on the training sessions doesn't mean it's easy to win the game. The majority of tactical information etc. you know anyway just from watching previous games and so on, so the only really concrete stuff you can get from watching the training is to potentially work out the line-up (although how often do you hear players saying they didn't know they were playing until the day of the game, so even that isn't a guarantee) and maybe the set-piece routines they're working on. As for the general way they play/set moves they like to make that's all stuff you can see from watching the sky sports coverage anyway. So for me while obviously being slightly advantageous to watch the other team train, it's a far cry from the auto-win cheat code people are acting like it is.

Fucking hilarious this lad is straight out of a comedy, everyone expecting an apology or resignation he comes up with a power point presentation saying how he has done it all season and doesn't give a fuck. I love it.

 

[Tucker]

He’s great. Proper bonkers, but actually a decent manager too. Love that story about him and Poch’s legs.
