It came as a surprise announcement was made that Bielsa called for a press conference at 5pm this evening to confront the ‘Spygate’ controversy again.
We have listed the first 10 tweets of what Bielsa had to say, as posted by Chris Dawkes from ITV…
Bielsa: I was responsible for this situation (“spygate”), the club and my staff not responsible. Many people made an opinion on my behaviour, many condemning behaviour, saying it was no ethical, immoral, that it was violating fair play, saying it was cheating
— Chris Dawkes (@chrisdawkesITV) January 16, 2019
Bielsa: The club thought it was just obliged to present public excuses to Derby County. I was publicly told by my behaviour was not respectful to integrity of the club
— Chris Dawkes (@chrisdawkesITV) January 16, 2019
Bielsa: The result is that the league have decided to open an investigation into my behaviour. They will evaluate if I did bad and if my behaviour affects the prestige of the club or league

Bielsa: I’m going to make it easier for the investigation of the league by giving the information it needs.

Bielsa: I can tell you I observed all the rivals we played against and we watched all the training sessions of the opponents before we played them
— Chris Dawkes (@chrisdawkesITV) January 16, 2019
Bielsa: I don’t want to compare my behaviour with previous behaviours regarding the subject. I’ve heard there are other behaviours that affect fair play but I don’t want to defend myself by attacking others
— Chris Dawkes (@chrisdawkesITV) January 16, 2019
Bielsa: What I’ve done is not illegal. It’s not specified, it’s not described. We can discuss about it, but it’s not a violation of the law. I know not everything that isn’t illegal is not right to do
— Chris Dawkes (@chrisdawkesITV) January 16, 2019
Bielsa: of course if you observe something without authorisation of the person involved we call this spying. I can’t say this is the right thing to do but I’m going to try to explain I didn’t have bad intentions
— Chris Dawkes (@chrisdawkesITV) January 16, 2019
Bielsa: I did it because it was not illegal and it was not violating a specific wrong
— Chris Dawkes (@chrisdawkesITV) January 16, 2019
Bielsa: they believe I violated the fair play rules so I have to adapt to the rules of English football
