I’d like to see the bank statements of the spy lad from the last few months to see where else he’s been frequenting?
I wonder if locations would match up to teams Southampton have faced in their “impressive unbeaten run” |  |

All this carry-on is delaying our making another, pre-window, move for Hayden Hackney, who will probably be fit to play for Boro in a delayed playoff final & might score to send them up, thus letting him stay with them for another season. |  |

But surely there are enormous betting issues with amending the facts after the result?
People will have bet on Soton to win, players to score, teams to progress.
You can't just go back and say that team won 3-0.
They had these pictures before the first leg even happened. |
That's a matter for the betting companies and their lawyers, and shouldn't have any bearing whatsoever on the EFL decision. | | | |

Apparently Steve Gibson at Middlesbrough is engaging 'top sports lawyer' Nick Di Marco so they're not going quietly if EFL do slap Southampton's wrist. |
There will be a case for a Civil Claim against Southampton from:
Middlesbrough
And, if spying ahead of other matches is proven:
Wrexham, who missed out on sixth and a one in four shot at approx £200m because Southampton may have gained points through acting in bad faith and breaking a specific EFL rule.
But also:
Any team whose position may have been adversely altered by dropping points to Southampton.
eg if Oxford played Southampton under Eckert twice, and lost them both then they could argue that there is the potential that their fight against relegation has been impacted by Southampton's cheating.
See also Derby re Play Offs, if Derby lost twice to Eckert. And even Norwich...
And every team could sue for the difference in prize money a three point (if they played Southampton under Eckert once) or six point (if they played them under him twice) swing would have netted them.
The EFL have to throw Southampton out of the Play Offs, if the most recent incident is proven, and at the very least demote Southampton to League One, if other incidents regarding matches during the season are proven, as they would have acted in bad faith and jeopardised the sporting integrity of the whole Championship Season. | | | |

How id laugh if Saints got dished out points deduction for next in the championship, and Boro went to the final v Hull.
Saints are cheats. |  |

We’re not signing Hackney either way.
If anything this saga helps us as we can start doing deals for players one of these teams might be interested in. | | | |
