Southampton spying compendium thread


im not roland rat said:
One this that hasn't been mentioned throughout this is the welfare of the young lad who was 'the spy'. Southampton and the FA have a duty of care to make sure this kid is OK and doesn't do anything silly. He was clearly acting under instruction so the people who have instructed him to go up to Boro cant be throwing him under the bus. The amount of pressure this kid must be under will be awful. Im not condoning what Southampton have done and i think they should be kicked out of the Play Off for cheating but this young lad MUST be looked after and not made a scapegoat. He must have been acting under instruction so for this young lads sake I hope those that sent him are big enough to stand up and take the wrap for it.

No need to prepare to play a specific team, it offers zero advantage.

What has it got to do with the FA?
I agree the lad should not be made the scapegoat, but at the same time he knew what he was doing was wrong.

I think you are underestimating what a shit show this is and the legal implications whatever the EFL decide to do. Somebody is losing out on potentially £140m+.

Personally, if the Skysports interpretation of events is accurate, and the "spy" was filming the entire time from a tree that sits outside private property, then I wouldn't punish Southampton. If your training ground can be viewed (and filmed) easily from a public road then that's your own fault. Put a hedge or a fence up.

Its gone from high tech equipment and getting inside the training ground wearing boro clothes to a random lad behind a tree

Blown out of all proportion because Boro knew they'd lose.

There are clear rules that prohibit what he did. Just because something can be done practically, doesn’t mean it’s okay.

As I've said previously I'd scrap the whole rule.

Boro will end up agreeing some sort of financial settlement in the future but surely there's no way Southampton will be kicked out :rolleyes:
