Southampton spying compendium thread

There is no other punishment more fitting than the match being awarded to Brough.

Im not sure how they could, would put hull at a disadvantage. Strange boro have offered up evidence they it to other clubs as that lessens their claim to go through also.
 

Someone off of the Boro Forum's summary of the Daily Mail Exclusive:

Daily Mail Sport can exclusively reveal the picture that proves the individual, who we have positively identified as Southampton intern William Salt

After investigating, we have found a picture of Salt on the shoulder of Saints manager Tonda Eckert celebrating his Manager of the Month prize for February. Salt, sources say, is a key part of Eckert's first-team operation and highly valued by the German head coach.

Interestingly, he was not present on the picture of Eckert and his backroom staff released last Thursday to mark April's Manager of the Month award. That was the same day he was pictured in the bushes at Middlesbrough's training base before being confronted by club staff and fleeing the area.

Eckert also won the prize for March and, again, Salt was not on the celebratory picture released to the media on April 9. Southampton beat play-off rivals 2-1 two days later.
In another development, we understand he used his bank card on Thursday to buy a coffee at Rockliffe Hall - owned by Boro chairman Steve Gibson.
The apparent slip has given rise to the possibility of a paper trail across the country, with transactions close to the bases of other Championship clubs in the days prior to playing Southampton.

We understand that one Championship club believe they were spied on after changing manager prior to playing Eckert's side. CCTV is being reviewed. Since being appointed Saints boss in November, Eckert's team have the second-best record from set-pieces in the Championship.

Boro now suspect that last Thursday's episode was not the first time they have been the victim of such unsporting espionage.
Outrageous that.
 
Sparing a thought for southampton fans.

Presuming most are decent folk.

Going through the jubilation of a semi n final win then waiting weeks to see if they stand is cruel. Like var lasting weeks 😂

Need to grow some bollocks n make a decision prior to final imo (wont happen).
Not that big fat bastard that dances though 😂

Or it strengthens their argument that they need to be punished. Boro won't get to the final on the back of it but Southampton need to face some punishment.

If true and it’s not a one off they’re definitely screwed like.
 
It's funny that they will go to the lengths of sending a lad hundreds of miles up to Middlesbrough with an old iPhone! 🤣
 
Hopefully he has been dim enough to buy a coffee at all the other clubs he's been to. Probs not many set up like Rockliffe unfortuantely.

As for Salt himself, Boro's media people identified him within minutes of the club photographer getting that snap of him.

If the fella hands over his bank statements and he’s bought a Costa in Derby, a Starbucks in Ipswich, a Nero in Coventry etc etc, all on matchday -2, then Southampton have far more to worry about than just getting kicked out of the playoffs.
 
Actually agree with James Corden just there on Talksport. He said whatever Southampton receive in TV revenue, if they go up, half should be made to be given to Boro at the start of the season. He also said stop calling it spygate and just refer to it as cheating.
