So people thinks that she a cheat  by spying on another club training. OK, so in the history of the Nix no coach has ever asked a contact to have a peep at another side training and report back. Yeah right!
She gets my thumbs up for being innovative and modern. Using a drone is way cooler than peeping through a crack in a fence.
Way to go Bev!


Bielsa did it at Leeds and was seen as a hero of the sport, particularly after his famed powerpoint press conference shortly afterwards.

Priestman does it and is not only seen as a villain, but a cheat who some people seemingly want hung, drawn and quartered.

Narratives and agendas are interesting at times. 

World cup specifically bans it! not sure if it was banned by EPL when Leeds were at it.

You say he was seen as a hero - yet he publicly apologised for it, so not everyone though it was a great idea at the time.
