Nine days ago the Rams were made aware of a 'suspicious' individual outside of the training ground in the build-up to their trip to Elland Road just over 24 hours later.

Bielsa later admitted that it was in fact the Whites who had sent the person to watch a Rams training session ahead of the 2-0 victory in LS11.

The Argentine, following widespread criticism, decided to host an impromptu media briefing on Wednesday evening to outline the reasons as to why in doing so he gained no clear advantage and reiterated his belief that it failed to break any rules in place.

There's no indication as to when the job advert appeared on the Rams website but the timing, as ever, couldn't have been better.

The EFL and FA investigations in the 'Spygate' matter are ongoing.
