>Boro said they had caught a Southampton analyst hiding in the bushes and recording their training session.
Not the most elaborate of schemes, as espionage goes. What a bunch of berks.

What? Accountability and culpability in football? In this economy?
Someone wake me up from this dream.

> Southampton did not win any of the games that followed their spying, losing at Oxford and drawing at home to Ipswich and at Middlesbrough.
‘We knew all their moves and we still lost…’

If it was Celtic they would have got away with it, and be given additional points

English football pulling up to enforce rules on the one day my club breaks them 🥲

It couldn’t have been any other way.
Promotion to the Premier League is worth upwards of £100m. A fine would be meaningless and simply be seen as the cost of doing business for any club in future looking to cheat in a similar way.
It had to be a serious sporting penalty.
PL take note.

The exact type of verdict needed, it tells every other Championship team if you want to cut corners to get to the Prem you won’t get off with a slap on the wrist

There are 50 games recorded at every angle in stadiums of them playing. What in sweet fuck would a video from an iPhone do?
Now they’ve thrown away 110m. Look like dicks and start 4 points down.
Cheating should at least have a purpose!

Imagine if Man Citys 115 charges happened this fast

Southampton City Council should seize St Mary’s and bulldoze the place
The city will be better with more homes
Fuck football

Meanwhile, Manchester City has had 115 charges pending for about four years with no end in sight.

Good stuff, not just because I like Boro but because it’s important that a firm stand be taken on this, and anything short of defaulting them the play-off game wouldn’t do that as the potential gain would outweigh any reasonable fine.
It would be nice to see 115 FC get some consequences delivered in a reasonable time though.
