Leeds beat Man City with 10 men last week. An absolute honour to have been there to see it. The superbly coached underdog, with 10 men for 45 minutes beating one of the world’s best sides. The essence of why I love football & sport. Can’t see how the ESL provides those moments.

Bielsa has paid the fines this season himself, not the club, because he feels it’s his responsibility. He is thankful for being allowed to work here in England & The Championship & if he infringes the rules he feels he must pay. This man really is unique in this industry. #lufc

200k is a very hefty fine to pay including costs for not breaking a rule. Bielsa was to me fulfilling his professional duties as a head coach without doing anything illegal. This sanction is harsh & should not be viewed simply as being less punitive than a points deduction. #lufc
