Also drew against us and Boro. He should be sacked for incompetence. |
There’ll be a vacancy there for a new Head of Espionage.
He was clearly not up to the job. |  |

It's due process. I'm amazed anyone is surprised. |  |

They've got cash as well they will go nuclear with this and try and find any wrongdoing by any team last season the championship, no chance they just accept it. This is a huge call from the EFL. |  |

They are appealing the punishment as being disproportionate to the offence. |
Hope they get a worse punishment.
It's clearly a case of systematic cheating. In places like Italy they would be relegated.

Apparently the decision tomorrow isn’t appealable.
I bet they get Man City’s lawyers on it… |  | | |

Just the once you feel it’s a points deduction. They’ve admitted all 3, so it could he argued it should be a 9pt deduction that would take them out the playoffs anyway.
If you were Wrexham’s lawyers you’d be interested too
Hope the new panel holds its nerve [Post edited 19 May 20:21]

Fair play to the EFL really, I am surprised. | |

But their spying only gained them 1 point and a draw in the first leg of the play off semi final. | |

Eckert should step down or be sacked. There’s something really dodgy about that guy. |  |

IMO Saints should start the final with a 2-0 deficit and the manager should be banned for a year. | |

But cheating in that way should result in a forfeited game in my opinon | | | |

Nothing worse than an incompetent cheat! |  |

Yes. But your 9 point deduction would mean Southampton having to now play Millwall over two legs and Hull having beaten Millwall, now to playing two legs against Boro. Completely unfair on Hull and the play offs would still be going on in June.
9 points wouldn't take them out of the play offs as they would be level on points with Wrexham but with a far superior goal difference.
The whole thing is a complete and utter shitshow. [Post edited 19 May 20:46]

Certainly more balls than the Premier league who are still debating the Man City saga. | |

That was my thoughts. Genuinely thought there'd be a massive fine and points deduction. This is definitely the toughest of the possible sanctions considering what was at stake, the sheer logistics of changing the opposition in a match involving 90,000 fans that involves hundreds of miles if travel just 4 days beforehand. | |

Just got in to see this news, so this may have been covered, but if they admit to spying on teams on these 3 occasions you can be sure they have been making a regular habit of it. Puts their long unbeaten run into perspective somewhat. |  |

Indeed, why would they spy on Oxford, and us, but not on any of the teams involved in games between those matches? It's likely not possible to prove, but I'm pretty confident it's been systemic since Eckert took over! [Post edited 19 May 22:25]

…. for some time and players knew of practice. And a whistleblower is claiming there was joke photo of the spy going around the club well before any of this hit

I didn't think the EFL would have the cojones - time for the Premier League to show some. On the Ugly Inside forum they're not angry with the verdict, only with their own club, which is telling. |  |

Southampton still preparing for the game as normal apparently and the appeal panel has to be all new people. Could you imagine...
Surely, they are done though, no way they can be reinstated and get promoted now. | |

I read that the playoffs are effectively a separate competition under efl rules so a points deduction can’t apply as no points are at stake. |  |
