At last in football a real punishment for cheating that really may send hopefully the right message. Think those other clubs coming forward with evidence killed Southampton as there was an identifiable pattern of offending that just could not be overlooked.

Based on how we perform in first 10 minutes after half time, I’m pretty certain we’re not even looking at how the opposition play in the first half. Qpr, we’re the bastions of integrity in this league.

Very strange for a club to do this and there is a precedent with Leeds falling foul doing similar. Not a very clever scam.
Eckert has had an extraordinary run of form for Southampton since he has been there.
Sure they probably have done this most games if they have admitted to Oxford. Think there needs to be more investigations as its doubtful its just the three games.
I seriously hope they dont get reinstated in the play off final. Some reports suggest this could still happen.
They are appealing it today. The bbc said the the 3 games they admitted to spying on, they never actually won… surely this can’t form their grounds to appeal. I’m surprised their manager hasn’t been suspended for a year too.

Could get worse for them. If the appeal fails, and it should do due to new rules brought in after Leeds 7 years ago, it looks like they might have a problem with their own players as well. As I said, could struggle next season. Serves them right.

As someone said on socials, bit of a stretch to think they went and had a look at 21st placed Oxford in December, 4 wins in 21 games, then put the binoculars away until Ipswich in April.
If I were them I’d take my medicine and shut up.

Question Clive
If their appeal is unsuccessful can they have the punishment increased (as happens with red cards etc)

Good point this.... IMO, it wouldn't surprise me if they admitted spying earlier in the season so that the present manager wasn't punished. If the precedent was set before his arrival, they can claim it wasn't his initiative......

So if they could blame it on Will Still…wouldn’t Ed have done it at Watford too? Burn the witches, even if their spells don’t work.

What's good about this is that it's not us fking up.
It's like when Palace went out of the cup to a non league side and set the record for the worst ever cup upset, all I thought was 'great! A bad record that we can never break.'
This is cataclysmic for Southampton but at least it's not us.
Also, fk Southampton etc etc.
