Report: Bielsa's Press Conference Fans The Flames As Championship Clubs Unhappy

The fall-out from Marcelo Bielsa's briefing on his coaching techniques continues as it has emerged that eleven different Championship clubs are reportedly unhappy with his conduct.

The Leeds United boss spoke for 70 minutes and gave a Powerpoint presentation to address his critics and illustrate the depths of his analysis. During the course of that press conference, Bielsa also admitted to 'spying' on every team in the league.

"I observed all the rivals we played against and watched the training sessions of all opponents," he said.

It seems this line has provoked a host of clubs. BBC Sport's Mark Clemmit has reported that "as a direct result of this press conference" 11 different Championship clubs sent a letter to the English Football League demanding a more thorough investigation.

Derby County manager Frank Lampard called it "unethical" while Bristol City owner Steve Lansdown has also called for Leeds to be deducted points.

The situation is complicated by the fact that the Leeds representative at Derby did not break any official rule, while Derbyshire Police confirmed he had not broken any laws either.

Leeds United are in action in the league later today, with a trip to the Brittania Stadium to face Stoke City.
