Southampton haven't yet denied these allegations!
For anyone who doesn't know Boro caught someone with some very sophisticated cameras and recording equipment spying on one of their training sessions.
Apparently Boro are looking into the possibility that Saints have done this to other teams this season.
Nightmare timing for the EFL. I can't see any way for them to fudge this

They haven't actually lost anything: they were neither promoted or relegated, which places them in exactly the same position as 17 other Championship sides. For them claim they lost anything is ridiculous. Even to claim they lost the opportunity to win it is disingenuous because they had the same chance as anyone else.
Cry me a fcking river. |
I don't like Luton; never have, never will. But for the CEO of Southampton to compare their punishment to a club that got a 30 point deduction and almost went out of business is blatantly absolute horsesh*t. |  |

You have to admire their front.
They admit to the charges then try to act like they are the ones being cheated and are the real victims here.
Fecking world class gaslighting. | | | |

it seems the manager/coach is named as the main culprit behind spygate, with saints players talking to PFa/lawyers i wonder if the coach could face actions?
would saints board look to sue him for loss of earnings? etc
it is a mess and thankfully does not involve us ( for once)
WHEN WILL THEY GIVE THE MAN CITY VERDICT? why has pep left? does he know he don' look good? |  | | |

Its pretty appropriate that Take That are playing at Southampton's football ground next Friday. | | | |

Apparently Ipswich trained at Eastleigh and there were Southampton staff in Eastleigh gear milling about. The more that emerges the more they’re looking like they’ve got off lightly if anything particularly with how they acted during and immediately after the playoff games. | | | |

According to Southampton sources Hackney should be fit to play for Middlesbrough tomorrow. |  | | |

It's a match between a club that quite often beat us heavily & a club that we have a good/reasonable record against.
I know which one I'd prefer to not be in The Championship next season! | | | |

The same people who decry Southampton trying to gain an advantage here are some of the same people who decry Nourry not talking about injuries, contracts, water pressure etc.
Well, I think we can now see that the opposition not knowing if our players are still contracted to the club, let alone if they can walk or not, isn't just a marginal gain, but an enormous advantage which is in no small way responsible for our meteoric rise up the championship.
I'm just thankful that Nourry has the vision that the doubters clearly lack. | |

There is probably a middle ground between these two totally unrelated things, as much as I appreciate the marginal gain we achieved from not letting the world know Justin Obikwu was injured for the season. Worth a point on its own. | | | |

I think I'm rooting for Boro.
1. Fk Hull. C*nts.
2. It inflicts maximum pain on Southampton. Who I don't even mind. The enemy of Portsmouth is my friend and all that. But wishing emotional pain on fans of other clubs is sort of my thing.
3. Boro are reasonably harmless. Not as self-congralutory as Newcastle and not as c**t as Sunderland. |  |

Loads of clubs have been doing this. I don't know who was first, it was marginally amusing the first time I saw it, increasingly unfunny every time someone else just joins the copying.

Whatever the intern did, purposefully, deliberately or not, he didn’t do a good did he?
Spied on Oxford, struggling at the bottom, and they lost to the O’s?
Standing under the tree without cover but under the shade with his mobile phone filming the Boro training session? Seriously? Unprofessional and truly appalling espionage |  |

Maybe it was ever thus, but in social media stealing someone else's idea and painting it to be your own appears to be what everyone does. Tik Tok is the worst, literally content creator after content creator doing the same "hilarious" skit that has 100% been ripped off, meaning your feed becomes the same joke / whatever being done by different people.
What's that about? What happened to originality or even content ownership? Don't understand really. |  | | |

I just still find it odd, given the quality of their squad, why they felt the need to do this? |  |

This.
After Rupert Lowe was forced out the club was the best organised in the country in my opinion, and executed the sort of model we should be aspiring too.
Lunacy. |  | | |

Southampton still trying to play the victim card
https://www.southamptonfc.com/
"What is harder to accept is that similar scrutiny does not appear to have been applied to the composition of the disciplinary panel itself, given the apparent historic and indirect connections of two panel members to Middlesbrough. While those connections do not by themselves prove bias, they plainly raise legitimate questions about consistency, perception and the standards of independence expected in proceedings of this magnitude." | | | |

I thought this was pretty damning stuff:

'Junior members of staff told the independent disciplinary commission how head coach Tonda Eckert had placed them "under extreme pressure" to carry out a task they were clearly uncomfortable with and felt was morally wrong.'
I'll be amazed if he is still in post at the start of the season |  | | |

Southampton are managing to do quite a good job of deliberately becoming the most disliked club in The Championship! | | | |
