The breakdown of trust could lead to players leaving and the financial impact could really affect next season’s playing budgets. Not to mention Tonda likely being sacked and or banned, together with you’d have to assume half of their analysts. The whole incident could set Southampton back a long way. |  |

| Just thinking on 23:52 - May 20 with 958 views | darkhorse28 | Martin and Still were big set backs. Then with zero recruitment, and minimal time training, they were easily the best side in the division. I think they’ll be fine, let’s focus on us, football moves quickly. As for court action, how do you recover losses you haven’t suffered, you’d have to persuade the court you’ve lost something, and losing the chance to play an play off final isn’t a financial loss. Not one worth the trouble. This is why the EFL acted quickly. The players haven’t lost anything, just a day out at Wembley. Wrexham suffered losses, at the very least the revenue form play off games, and I suspect they’ll will go after Southampton, but you can’t just pretend you’d win the play offs and claim hundreds of millions .., that’s not a measurable actual loss suffered, it’s conjecture. What a mess. A little surprised they didn’t award the 3-0 to Boro and avoid that, but guess the breaches in league games mitigated that. So I’m sure Wrexham will look closely, they’ve lost actual measurable revenue. Had they beaten Oxford and that cost them relegation, that would have been another headache. I wonder if that had happened, the only possible action might be to relegate Southampton, more conjecture. Let’s focus on us. They were much better then us the last few months, would probably be wise to understand why, because it wasn’t spying. |  | |  |

Everyone is focused on us. It’s a football forum, where people talk about football. If you aren’t into that, there’s always Mumsnet. |  |

Yes they were so “much better” they couldn’t beat us when they needed to - despite spying on us - and finished four points behind us as we went up automatically. |  |

How do you know it wasn't spying? I think the probability is that they spied on everyone from Oxford onwards. You don't spy in December then so nothing again until April. Lots of goals from set plays and stopping other teams set plays in that run. SB |  |

It's not even that they couldn't beat us, they were very lucky that we didn't beat them. SB |  |

I agree that it's highly likely that Saints had been spying on other League opponents. If they'd just sneaked into the play-offs, the 7th placed team would have felt quite upset. Would have been near impossible for the FL to re-set the play off semi finals. Sometimes there isn't a perfect solution. |  |
