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.
Thanks for the info.

My first awareness of that incident was a report on the Derby Eveneing Telegraph website who had got the info from the police like they do with all incidents of which the police are made aware. Someone who lives opposite the training ground saw someone in the bushes (not on a footpath) and reported it to the police who went to the scene and found the LUFC employee in said bushes. The "story" did not originate from DCFC.
