Southampton spying compendium thread

[forever changes]

If Boro deserve to be in the final then it must be presumed Southampton gained an advantage. If they’ve done it to other clubs and beat them what about those games and what the loss of points might have done to those teams ??

 

[EDGE]

Ha ha.

 

[MadMackem10]

Would be really funny on appeal they withdraw the expulsion. But then forfeit the first leg so lose on aggregate

 

[Hyltons finest]

Up to the EFL’s discretion I suppose seen as there was no previous precedent set since the rule was put in place

 

[Wansbeck Viking]

How come Derby or Leeds (can't remember who was spying on who) never had such a severe punishment?

I think, the team spying got beat on that occasion, could be wrong.

 

[HerculesNdlovuAffair]

Well done to the EFL. Always nice to see cheats get what they deserve and in double-quick time too.

A nice short away trip for us next season either way now.

 

[im not roland rat]

Three separate occasions of spying apparently

For every game they’ve been found guilty of spying on they should have 3 points deducted from next season.

 

[Scootsie]

What has Le Tiss said ?

Blamed it on 5G

 

[anth]

well i didn't see that coming. Admitting to doing it 3 times through the season, serves them right.

 

[Local Lad]

Southampton will argue leeds only took a fine. Makes me wonder if they have found proof they have been spying on other teams throughout the season.

They've admitted it. Rules were changed after Leeds done it.

that intern has probably cost them £200+ million he’s not going to get another job in footie.

Saints manager gotta be sacked now too surely

 

[ozz]

I’m not having that like, a bloke taking a video of them training Unless they set up completely different to how they usually played or made several changes from their usual team it likely had zero effect. Stupid for doing it but the punishment doesn’t fit the crime for me.

I think the point is that they did set up completely differently.

 

[Darlo1973]

Plus a 4 point deduction for next season

 

[DonaldDownTheWing]

Class

Correct decision in my opinion. They admitted cheating against Boro, Oxford & Ipswich.

 

[Grumpy Old Man]

How does that work for 'Boro, wouldn't most of their players have gone on their jollies now, or have they held off just in case?

They've been back in training since the end of last week.

 

[Junior Birdman]

Surely the manager has to go like. His position is untenable now.

 

[Hot Since 82]

Aye I have to admit I wasn't arsed one bit about this until I read their forum earlier

Mocking the North East and being unbelievably cocky about the entire situation, I got on for about 2 minutes before it's now constantly crashing

They've always been like that too, going back years. Been dipping into their forum for the past 11 days, utter wankers.

 

[Jerryatric]

Will this have any bearing on the 115 charges for MCFC?

 

[ChrisAshley]

It makes absolutely no difference man they all have 48 games footage kf each other. All players and agents etc talk team line ups aren’t surprise in this day and age

If it makes no difference then why did Southampton do it then? And on multiple occasions too.

 

[stevo]

They spied on Oxford and still f***ing lost

and Ipswich and Oxford plus 1 other
