asked this on another thread but no answers there.....
Having been booked 4 times already, Bielsa is one booking away from a touch line ban. I’ve heard also that every member of his back room team have also got at least one booking.
I’m assuming that all these bookings, which are normally very rare, are not because of dissent or anything like that, but because there’s often 3-4 of them in the manager box shouting at the team, when the rules apparently say only one person is allowed into that area.
Anyone know for sure ??

Bielsa about to be banned....

He’s been booked 3 times this season. A fourth will see a 1 game touch live ban.
His first booking was against West Brom for too many people in the technical area. Only 2 are allowed at once.
We don’t know what the third was for against Middlesborough but it’s assumed it was given to him because the offender couldn’t be identified.
Not sure about the second.

It's such a nonsense rule.
Oh no, players are getting too much tactical advice we have to stop it...

I doubt thats the purpose of the rule Best. It will be there to prevent 6 coaches constantly hounding the ref and his assisstants. Unfortunately for us, we are punished for other teams bad behaviour because the rule is all encompassing despite Bielsa never having a go at the refs.
