Southampton should sell a "Where's Willie" book after Spygate dies down

Well too much would be getting thrown out A little less is a fine So more than a little less is a fine and a points penalty

You joined the forum at the time Finn Azaz signed for us Hmmm 🤔

That's right It looks like with the last panel for West Brom, the announcement was the next day

If it's 24 hours, then I'm guessing the clubs will be informed today then an announcement in the morning

Yeah, I thought a decision had happened 😆

It is strange. It appears the Boro fans go and watch it all the time, can imagine they take photos and film stuff just to show friends Then all of a sudden, look there is Will Salt

I'm just wondering. Do you love Sekou Mara?

Probably the lover of Sekou Mara

It was a newspaper story I read in the many stories BBC - Tigers are fully focused on southampton (headline)

Their manager said they were told by the EFL that we were playing them on Saturday, so they are preparing as such There is nothing anywhere that indicates we will be kicked out The doubt has been caused by the Boro press machine. What Will Salt did is a speeding fine in the world of crime. He watched blokes run about from far away. Was it a sanctioned move, I would think the club would use a drone or something a bit better. As much as spying is wrong, being rubbish at spying has to be worse

There's been a couple of provocative club X posts, I'm guessing we are confident going into the hearing

I still find it amazing they recognised Will Salt from the back of one manager of the month photo

That's the thing, Southampton can spy freely next year, it's not an offence in the top league

If it was a match during the season, it'd be match forfeiture, worse case scenario. So a 3 point deduction That has to be matched here really as a worse case scenario

I think it'll just be a fine and a slap on the wrist I think the emphasis of the investigation will be more about how we can avoid this in the future, and most Championship grounds are closed off. I think they'll ask Boro to make training more secure

The silence by us and the time taken to investigate was the right thing to do Like their football team, they've tired themselves out before the end of the investigation

Fake news. It's been part of some bigger strategy to make lots of noise

Their manager had already said Hackney was unlikely to play. Plus, no player comes back from injury and plays well

No, we beat them on them pitch. They had their chances and they lost They are shit at set plays so there's no reason to watch them and nothing to be gained. All Salt would have seen would have been a bunch of blokes running about. Whatever their manager was crying about, Middlesbrough losing was probably because he changed the formation and their players got tired earlier. That's on him, not on us The key thing is, we played the same way and did the same thing

It's a curious post, with the red emoji There's some hidden message in there for sure

"Being silent is generally associated with deeper, more genuine confidence..While loud behavior can look bold on the surface, psychology and social research suggest that it is often a mask for insecurity"

It's about money 💰 I think Gibson has figured out from an early stage that they can get money out of this, so all the posturing has been about getting sympathy, full stopped by a strongly worded press release. He was going to sue us from the get go I don't think he ever expected us to get thrown out. That's my reasoning anyway

I do think that is what happened Salt isn't in the second two manager of the month photos, which could mean he wasn't being included as much as he would have liked. The two LinkedIn photos went down at the same time, which means Salt maybe implicated the other guy. We didn't play any differently, but Salt is on the books, so the club just have to make sure there's nothing more to the story, hence the silence Southampton have probably told the efl of everything so they are aware, which is why the efl have pushed ahead with the final I do think if Middlesbrough were confident, they would have stayed quiet
