I'm pretty sure it's a civil matter at worst and not criminal - but @Pantomime Mackem should be able to confirm.

He will be gone as soon as it can shown it was under his instructions then they’ll save on compensation

From watching that Stefan fella, the finance guy, he says the league and the playoffs are treated as seperate competitions. Hence the plural, unless they managed to have a gander at Arsenal too.

We had no idea of the severity despite what some post on here.
Spoken to both Paul Bodin and the late Alan McLoughlin (RIP) and both were not aware of what would happen.
If anything we thought a small fine but brutal honest, yes we were guilty and no hiding from that. We were made an example of and other clubs including Tottenham breached the same and only picked up a fine.
As for Brian Hillier he simply vanished from the scene and history.
As to what followed without doubt the hardest footballing knock I will ever encounter.
Just imagine celebrating at Wembley in front of a fantastic team that played superbly well and thousands of our fans. We came up from the then 4th division and to think would be playing the likes of Liverpool and Man Utd. I will always remember my Brother in tears. I was younger but it never really sank in, I was completely numb by it all and maybe thought there would always be great times like this.
Sadly there wasn’t. More recent times we simply got saddled by wrong owners and only knows how the fit and proper owner test works.
I know the passion though is locked away deep in my body. I know that if we had a successful period, even a season, even getting rid of the scum bag criminals that have attached themselves to our once great club then it will boil over.
Told the kids that the old Man will be in tears and do you know what I would just love to be in tears because you just get accustomed to the continued pain. The loyalty and hope card feels as thin as it ever has done and my years are passing by so fast.
Why can’t it be our turn because we have endured enough. I am not greedy, unrealistic or my expectations are unachievable. I want to love my football club again and haven’t for some time.
As we say amongst us, it’s shit, it’s always shit but we get each other through it.

It's literally in the report that they were given separate penalties for the offences in different competitions.
1) Kicked out the playoffs for the offense against Boro in the playoffs.
2) 4 point deduction for next season for the offenses in the league against Oxford and Ipswich.
Why dont people just read up the official information instead of making up scenarios and guessing at whats happened based on posts in here or on twitter.
Each offense has a different reference number and each reference number is quoted the penalities handed out.
I take it you must fully understand how saints fans are feeling at this moment, however, they have not won play offs, unlike Swindon did. Arguably your feeling were probably worse I guessWe had no idea of the severity despite what some post on here.

I do have deepest feelings for all saints fans

Lou will always be my favourite manager, more so than Ardiles and Hoddle.
I honestly don’t think any Supporter will have that high and low that we endured.
As you say Southampton never went to Wembley or won it.
It’s the hope that always kills us football fans.

I saw that yesterday and this comment as Eckert was assistant manager at Barnsley from August 2020 to January 2022.
"Said elsewhere. He was assistant at Barnsley under Valerien Ismael.Ismael went on a crazy run at Barnsley which he's never come close to replicating since and he never took Eckert anywhere else with him."
Looking at Wiki, the previous season in 2019/20 Barnsley finished 21st after promotion from League One. Ismael was brought in as manager and in the only full season Eckert was there they finished 5th in 2020/21. They went on a great run after January winning 13 of 19 (sounds familiar).
Ismael left at the end of the season and went to WBA but was sacked Feb 2022. Eckert stayed but left Barnsley in January 2022 as Barnsley reverted back to being shite and finished bottom (new manager not liking Eckert's methods?). Ismael got 56% win percentage at Barnsley, he got 37% at WBA, 29% Watford and 25% Blackburn and been out of job since Feb 2026.
