Frank Lampard insists Leeds United deserve to achieve promotion this season, despite the controversy surrounding spygate.The Whites were hit with a 200,000 fine, but avoided a points deduction after admitting to spying on every one of their opponents at their respective training grounds.The incident was sparked by Derby County calling the police after a person with binoculars – later found to have been a Leeds staff member – was spotted watching Lampards side train the day before the two teams met in a Championship clash at Elland Road.
