If it is proven that we spied on their training session then I think it likely that they'll get a Points Deduction for next season.
Meaning we start in the Premier Lge on minus Points, not sure we could overcome that.
Or if we win the play offs could we be kicked out & either Hull or Millwall get a free pass into Premier lge.
It is concerning that the FA have said that they are going to speed up the enquiry process which means they could apply any punishment to this season.

I think you'll find that if the goes to an Independent Commission the they can impose fines or points deduction for teams promoted.
i might be wrong but I'm not a Muppet. | | | |

Nah. We'll get a fine and potentially a points deduction next time we are in the championship.
More importantly what the actual f were we thinking?
Which knobhead suggested this was a good idea.
Its totally overshadowed the game and if we win everyone will say we cheated.
We were big favourites playing boro, what on earth did we think wed learn.
It embarrassed the entire club. |  | | |

Some of the inflammatory statements made to the press by Middlesbrough may not be correct. For a start, it transpires the person they caught is employed by Aston Villa. As for the comment about Saints spying all season, they don't seem to have come up with any evidence for that. |  |

Are you sure? Where did you get that from? If it were true, I'm not sure why someone employed by Villa would be spying on Boro and why Saints haven't simply said "he doesn't work for us" instead of acknowledging the charges as they have done. | | | |

As I've replied on another thread....
This page was published on 27/1/2025 and says he is in the 3rd year of his course. That probably means he finished his course in June 2025. | | | |

Endless BS and scare mongering online and hardiness is someone to come up with the exact facts to shut everyone up | | | |

I would imagine that what will happen is that Saints will admit the employee - if indeed it is who the media is suggesting it is - was working for them, they will admit the charge but say that he 100% exceeded his brief, and in no way was sanctioned to do what he did. They will accept the punishment which you would expect to be a substantial fine. And move on.
I cannot believe it will result in a points deduction because this cannot be anything like as bad as the club going into administration or running foul of the transfer rules which are the usual reasons for one. | | | |

If you want to talk about cheating, Man City have well over 100 charges against them. Nobody should take any deduction or fine until that lot cough up. |  |

So Everton, Notts Forrest, Leicester and West Brom have all had points deductions for breaching financial rules yet the worst crime ever made by a football club ( apparently ) is to hide behind a bush and film a team training.
Middlesbrough thought they’d played a blinder with this, use it to their advantage get all their fans rilled up and win the home leg.
Well it didn’t work Saints played a blinder , backs to wall stuff in the 1st half and regrouped the 2nd half to even be slightly unlucky we didn’t win it in the end .

I think Bush Baby read Eckert's CV and became an immediate wannabe.
That leaves me preferring to think he acted alone in order to prepare a dossier and demonstrate his genius....that leaves us in knuckle rap territory.
If someone told him to go do it...oh dear...hopefully the paper trail is sufficiently vague.
Either way the kid is probably going under the next bus. Just a matter of who goes with him.
One thing for sure, SFC better come completely clean...in these matters a cover up always carries a bigger penalty than the original misdemeanour. | | | |
