Southampton spying compendium thread

[SMR1986]

Do you really think that the EFL are just going to throw away all the money that the Play off final generates?

it should be up to Southampton to refund their fans tickets, not the efl.

 

[wigwams]

Are they back in yet?

 

[NYMackem]

Only if they can prove they were spied on before their match.

I don't think so. If Southampton have gained a competitive advantage over the whole season by spying, then they have amassed more points than Wrexham by cheating. That has displaced Wrexham from the playoffs, regardless of what happened in their head to head games.

What about Hull's revenue?

Broadcast Revenue

Sponsorship Revenue

Need I go on?

very fair point

Pretty much our cheating may net us £200m but the punishment doesn’t fit the crime

Still saying a simple soloution was award boro first game 3-0 then they haven’t been kicked out of the final they never made it.

Tickets have never been properly of Southampton as such they were just a portal to sell them on behalf of the efl

Yeah because masterclass are done in a week
Preparation for games are done well in advance

Boro had 21 shots in the first game with only 5 on target with a 1.82 xg they failed to score. (That was not down to spying)

They had 51 touches in saints box on that day which is high

They had 11 corners

They also hit the post

They dominated saints all game and saints cleared one off the line.

The stats are easy to find.

Those are all knowable things. What competitive advantage the spying created is not knowable. You can't quantify the things that didn't happen.

 

[seahamstar]

so it should go to hull then....

No because Hull aren't/weren't in second place.
We finished second place to Southampton so we should take their place

 

[SMR1986]

again should be part of the fine that Southampton receive. People are saying this needs to be done to send a message preventing other clubs doing it. that would be a pretty big message.

 

[TallPaul]

Just promote Boro and Hull and kick Coventry out

 

[HettonSAFC]

Top and bottom of it it lays with boro ground staff for not planting some better trees so the spy couldn’t see or hide better.

Don’t really get why the spy didn’t just deny it. I went for a walk and ended up here….some shitty spy tbh….

Boro should put Alan Browne in the starting XI for the final, just to underscore the impact of Soton's cheating on the first leg.

So should Southampton, refund the lost of revenue for Wembley and the surrounding areas too?

The final has to go ahead and is.

He wouldn’t have got caught if he didn’t have those suspect jeans on
Rumours the saints gaffa and sporting director has been sacked.

'As a result' isn't true really. No evidence whatsoever of that.

There's evidence of cheating though...

 

[Big Sharp Teeth]

Have we found out yet whether Boro had a sign clearly stating trespassing wasn’t allowed?

I think that’s crucial.

 

[NYMackem]

'As a result' isn't true really. No evidence whatsoever of that.

Why would Southampton take such a massive risk if they weren't getting some level of competitive advantage from it?

 

[Mowgli]

There's evidence of cheating though...

Doesn't mean you can categorically say they lost as a result of that though

The other businesses are just unfortunate. Big events get cancelled all the time, its not for them to rely on.
