Southampton spying compendium thread

Correct decision on the basis boro aren’t the only victims (interested to see which other ones are. Last I hear was canaries, Bristol city and Millwall). I imagine their manager is going to probably cop a ban or punishment for this as well. Imagine how the fans must feel? Arrogance to being blown out of the water

Next level arrogance from their fans like. No sympathy at all.

It's a can of worms if there are any other proven cases. I suspect the EFL will be happy not to investigate it any further.

After what Southampton has done to the FL showcase tournament ? Putting holding the final in jeopardy at the possible cost of millions ? Messing around all those fans and making the biggest talking point around the game their disqualification?

I should imagine the FL will tear them a new one given half the chance and they would be justified in doing so.

From a loyal supporter who has been on the end of a demotion (1990) and kicked out of a cup competition (this season) the pain and suffering for the Supporters is unforgivable.
You put yourself through the emotion, elation and the cost of supporting your team and then bang, it’s all gone.

This decision was inevitable. Different from Leeds, as that was mid season and rules were not in place.
This is a breach of the rules, same with Swindon and the club is accountable and responsible. The EFL had no choice but to impose a disqualification or else a precedent would be set.

Just spare a thought though for those Supporters who are 100% innocent. The pain is unforgettable. Southampton would have been clear favourites and no doubt Boro will be now.

I feel sorry for all sets of fans with ticketing/accomadation issues, its stressful enough at best of times with wembley tickets. Surely 2nd leg could have been delayed a few days to allow the evidence to be presented and award the tie to boro before that game was played. It looks like they hoped boro would do the job and give Efl time to get to their decision without final being affected.
 
Morally wrong but how Boro have the nerve to say they lost a two legged tie because of someone standing near a tree filming abit of training on a iPhone is shameful
 
Does actually make me wonder how many clubs have been doing this.

going to be some awkward conversations going on over the next day or so with various analysts told to cancel their plans to go 'visit' other clubs training grounds, while also deleting their WhatsApps

Surely not. They have to make an example out of them so even if they’re saying punishment doesn’t fit the crime they’ve admitted to it, so unsure what they feel a fair punishment for outright cheating would be. Sounds like they’re hoping for a financial slap on the wrist but can’t see it as they need to set the tone for what’s allowed and what’s not to protect the league(s)
