Southampton spying compendium thread


I didn’t know they were streaming it. That is shocking! I assumed it was someone writing in a notebook (which is still bad enough). Southampton’s form is that good they don’t need to be cheating like this. But suppose £200m to get to the premier league teams will use the dark arts 🤷‍♂️

I think scratching the surface, is their form good because if this, not the first time they have done it apparently
 
The EFL need to go nuclear on this. If they don't, the rewards are so huge that it'll be worth clubs risking being found out. Look at the financial shenanigans that have gone on elsewhere.

It's a case of act decisively now or have these things happen each season going forward.

They should demand access to Southampton's records too, to see if there's evidence of this happening during the season. Is it the reason for their dramatic upturn in form?

Staff movements including train tickets, expense receipts etc should be combed through to see if there are any pattens with opposition locations weeks before games....

Totally agree, an easy way of getting to the bottom of this is follow the money. Who paid for the equipment and what payments does the spy receive and who are they from. Any payments linking back to Southampton means they are guilty and would blow any potential lone wolf defence out of the water.

It would be deliciously ironic if a data lead investigation leads to punishments for... data collecting...

Ask yourself the question, why has their form been so good? It doesn’t appear to be a one-off.
 
Will the EFL have the balls to go really big on Southampton with this though? They have a predicament on their hands because if Southampton go on and win it then the spying looks justified, and any fine will be seen as 'worth it' for the money the Premier League will bring them.
