to spy or not to spy?

[Sarge]

Leeds , top of championship , spy on opponents

OUFC, relegation zone L1 , KR states hed never spy on opponents

do respective league positions speak for themselves... or is KR ethically right?

The opposition certainly spies on us (or at least has a concept having watched us live). Every manager of recent times bar MAPP and possibly Wilder has been comprehensively found out tactics-wise after half a season.

Spying…or just extremely thorough preparation? Think that you are spot on with the league position observation – they are top of the Championship with a similar squad to the previous year but with a world class manager who seemingly leaves nothing to chance in his meticulous preparation…whilst we are contemplating relegation with a squad that outsiders all believe should be performing so much better than their current league position indicates (latest headline ‘Pompey boss puzzled by 'capable' Oxford United's struggles’). I wouldn’t turn a hair if KR was discovered watching another team’s training – I would just be delighted that he was so deadly serious in his intent and that there was the real prospect of us starting a game better prepared than the opposition.

I'm not sure where the moral outrage comes from (well I suppose most of it is the same paper selling b*****s that has led to Brexit and Trump). Why is a training ground visible from public areas some sort of secret, sacred area? Of course anyone with the resource will want to know what you have been working on in tactics/set pieces/fitness etc. If you want to keep it secret then put up a fence etc - that is what Man City have done.

could always 'spy' remotely via a drone fitted with a live video camera?

If that hasn't happened, it will.

Well at least we know now why we didn’t use the training ground pre-season.

 

[Millman]

We only have one formation and enough decent player for the first eleven. Why bother spying when you can't change anything!

Blimey KR can't cope with organising his own team, in a structured manner, if you throw in dealing with the knowledge of opposition strengths, weaknesses and tactics KR's team talk would be a blithering, contradictory shambles.
