Marcelo Bielsa will pay Leeds United's fine for failing to control players during Aston Villa brawl after revealing he paid £200,000 'Spygate' fine out of his OWN POCKET Marcelo Bielsa revealed he is paying fines Leeds receive as he feels responsible The Argentine picked up the £200,000 bill for the spy-gate saga earlier this year Leeds are set to be fined again for failing to control players against Aston Villa But Bielsa has said that he will also pay whatever fine the club receive from FA By Peter Rutzler For Mailonline Published: 14:05 BST, 3 May 2019 | Updated: 14:05 BST, 3 May 2019 Viewcomments Marcelo Bielsa has revealed that he paid Leeds United's £200,000 fine for the 'Spygate' saga out of his own pocket - and that he will pay for any fine the club receive following the brawl against Aston Villa last weekend. Leeds were hit with a huge fine in February after Bielsa admitted to sending spies to watch their opponents before matches. The practice was rumbled when Derby County discovered a member of Leeds' staff outside their training ground in January, which led to calls for the Championship promotion hopefuls to be deducted points for what was a breach of English Football League rules that demand opposing teams are treated with 'good faith'. Marcelo Bielsa has revealed that he is paying Leeds United fines as he feels responsible That includes the £200,000 fine issued by the FA for the Spygate saga earlier this season But Bielsa, whose side are set to receive another fine after being charged with failing to control their players during a heated clash with Villa on Sunday, revealed that he paid the hefty fine for 'spy-gate' himself - and that he would pay any fine Leeds receive for their conduct at Elland Road at the weekend. 'As we are clarifying things I think it's important to add two things not linked to this subject,' said Bielsa on Friday. 'The sanction I received that the federation (the FA) gave us - £200,000 - it's a financial sanction the club received not against me, but I am responsible for it and that's why I paid from my pocket the sanction.' The Argentine boss went on to say that the reason why he pays the fines is that he is thankful for being allowed to work in England and that if he infringes the rules, he feels he must then pay fine. Leeds were charged after Sunday's 1-1 draw with Villa following a bizarre passage of play that saw a goal conceded on purpose, a red card and two brawls. Bielsa also revealed that he would pay for any fine Leeds receive for a brawl against Aston Villa He allowed Villa to score after Mateusz Klich netted while the visitors had player down injured The incident started when Mateusz Klich gave Leeds the lead at a time when Villa had a player down injured and believed Bielsa’s side were about to put the ball out of play. Furious Villa players confronted Klich while assistant manager John Terry remonstrated with Bielsa on the touchline. Anwar El-Ghazi was sent off incorrectly during the melee, and Patrick Bamford was subsequently charged with deceiving a match official. Bielsa then commendably instructed his players to allow Villa to equalise from the restart through Albert Adomah, which didn't pass without incident either after defender Pontus Jansson attempted to stop him - to the fury of the Villa players. Things eventually calmed down but both clubs are likely to be fined after being charged by the FA, although Bielsa intimated that he will take the financial hit on behalf of the club.
