Southampton spying compendium thread

Southampton's claim uses a Trumpian level of logic. The final is 'worth £200 million', therefore the sanction is worth £200 million.

Total bollocks. They're trying to cash in a win before the match is even played.

By the same token, Boro could claim that Southampton's cheating cost them £200 million. And Sheffield United could claim that VAR last year cost them £200 million.

It's quite funny.
People are still saying - Southampton should be kicked out because they cheated, which gives them an unfair advantage.
But then - Boro should be out cos they lost, even though Southampton's cheating (and unfair advantage) puts Boro at a disadvantage.

Then it's 'promote Hull' - even though they haven't won the plays offs and haven't been cheated against

I must admit I hadn’t noticed how many thickies we had on here until spygate kicked off.

Postpone the final, to conduct more enquiries, and if the game has to be played between Hull & Boro, it'll be unlikely to be played at Wembley, which is apparently booked many months in advance.

The final could then, possibly be played at a later date, at Old Trafford, which is adequate to host a game, suited to accommodate the fan bases of both Hull & Boro.

There is fuck all to enquire further about, SFC have admitted the charge. They’re just (wrongly) bitching about the punishment.

Imho they'll make some sort of challenge once the dust settles somewhat. Might even try and get a few others to join them in complaining. It looks fairly certain that the 3 they've admitted is the tip of the iceberg.

Haven't they admitted to 2 games they lost and the first leg draw against Boro? How convenient, we watched them train but we're so bad at spying that it actually cost us.

One of two outcomes for me, either Hull go up automatically or they play the smogs. Southampton's participation should be over. If they get away with a 4 point deduction they should consider themselves lucky, if any of the senior coaching staff were involved, they should be suspended from the game

Southampton need to sack them asap as a damage recovery operation. If they don’t it obviously goes higher.

Boro playe two legs of a semi final and didn’t win either of them.

So what? Totally irrelevant. They drew one so scratch that game, and they lost 2-1 in the other after extra time, but they were the victims of the spying so they are the beneficiaries of the expulsion. They didn’t have the chance to win the game fairly. It’s the equivalent of being awarded a 3-0 win.

This is basic, basic stuff.

If this is the case then Southampton will be in further trouble n may be facing more points deductions.

Possibly, but the offences during the regular season will be treat as a separate case to this one, and Southampton could be shafted up the arse much worse for those ones, if it can be shown they've been doing it all season. However that won't affect the play-off results or their aftermath
