This isn't meant as red rag to a bull just to upset Leeds fans, merely an outlining of fact. Before anybody has a go at me for it, read my posts on this forum on the stupidity that occurred last Tuesday evening on the roads just outside Derby. I am in agreement with most of what has been written on this board over it.
You are completely wrong.

Those guidelines have absolutely nothing to do with our fine, in fact the EFL created new guidelines to prevent this from happening after our incident.
We "breached" rules about acting in good faith towards other clubs which is already a laughable entry in the book because of it being so vague. Norwich painting their dressing rooms to screw with their opponents or Derby County avoiding FFP problems with dodgy stadium deals is perfectly fine but if you dare to stand on a public footpath then god save you. If there are rules against it, fine, but apply it to everybody not just us.
Leeds didn't contest the charge because Bielsa pressed the club not to. He asked the club to accept the fine and he paid for it in full because he felt it was his responsibility.
