Tsunami Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 They also got a 4 point deduction for next season. That could get reduced on appeal, I can’t see they’d get reinstated. You simply can’t allow them to benefit from trying to cheat like that. Really feel for the fans and players though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Si67 Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 Yes - another northern(ish) team. Anything below the Tyne is southern. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s probably the right decision anyway, but when you consider the incredibly slim margin by which they’ve even got this far I don’t think they’ve got a tripod leg to stand on.

Sidg Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 Good news for any PL relegation contenders next season. Southampton have looked one of the better Championship sides in recent memory under Stephen Merchant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 I thought it was a bit overkill the whole thing until I read such blatant EFL rules were brought in to stop it. It's a bit pointless if they have no teeth. Absolutely ridiculous way to torpedo your season mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
M4 Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 Seems like the correct decision, but still feels like a massive balls move. EFL not taking any shit, showing the Premier League how it's done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Spaceman Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 I'd sack the manager after this tbh, fucking joke of a decision to ask someone to spy on a training session. How much did they actually gain from doing it? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
samptime29 Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 I agree with the decision. It's cheating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcmk Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 The amount of useful information you can gain from some video far away, would be limited to say the least. Might get the starting 11, and formation if lucky. Which both would have been assumed anyway. This punishment is very harsh. Especially considering players sell/share this information without any consequences.

Still seems like massive overkill for me. Boro could have been trying a new setup up, set pieces, patterns of play for that specific game. Things would do in the immediate run up to a game. Had to be punished correctly and I agree that their manager needs hauled over the coals. It’s not even though it’s been a one off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
