We can begin to think about the football on the pitch again this weekend after what has been a rather fascinating week away from the green stuff.
Marcelo Bielsa, of course, has captured many of the headlines with Spygate rumbling on and, ahead of their game with Stoke, it remains to be seen how the Whites are going to perform on the pitch.
Ahead of the match, then, we spoke to Thomas Bradley from I'd Radebe Leeds to get the view from Elland Road...
1. What have you made of Spygate?
Spygate is something you never think will become national and even global news. I think, though, it has highlighted that these sort of ‘tactics’ have been used for years, they’ve just never been under such a spotlight.
My personal views are that it shouldn’t be done, but at the same time it breaks no rules and really what advantage do you gain from it? We played Derby off the park so I think using it as an excuse as to why we won, is a bit feeble.
2. Marcelo Bielsa has admitted to spying on every side this season - is there a part of you that wishes he was a little less open?
Not for me, no. He has turned Leeds United round in less than a year using the methods he uses. If you change the honest approach he has, then you lose a bit of Bielsa, which I think would stop him being who he truly is.
3. This weekend sees the reversal of the opening day, did you imagine things would go this well from that win over Stoke?
I went to that game, and I was shocked at how good we were. Instantly I thought that we might have an incredible coach on our hands. I didn’t think we would be top at this stage of the season, but it’s all about self-belief now to get us over the line. Something Leeds fans have struggled with for years.
4. Nathan Jones has come into the Potters, are you expecting a different challenge to the one Gary Rowett posed?
Most certainly. Nathan Jones did an incredible job at Luton Town. It will take time for him to settle in at Stoke, and that has shown in his first few results. We can’t underestimate them as they were in the Premier League last season, but I think they have deeper underlying issues that go beyond who is their manager. Hopefully we exploit their frailties.
