Don't really have any, good luck to them with their careers I guess.

I would hazard a guess that most teams in the prem (especially the top 6) will be signing players that people have previously heard of. We will be shopping in a different market.

You know what will happen, a few will leave and we will replace them with some randoms no one has ever heard of. Some of those randoms will be a hit, 1-2 may be shite. Its what we do.

Yeah, true. I guess its the FA's job to hand out what they feel is the appropriate punishment; its our "problem" that he's employed as the manager of the first team.

Is there an argument to say that the club (and the fans!) have already been punished once for Spygate, and that the punishment from the FA should be more towards the individual? That being the case, any ban would effectively punish the club once more surely? A fine and a suspended sentence would be the appropriate punishment. But this is the FA!

I watched it from a hotel bar in Cala Millor. I had a very subtle saints t-shirt on, got into a few conversations and I think Spygate has largely been forgotten about outside of Southampton and Middlesbrough.

You wont be saying that when it's still 30 degrees at KO!

Anyone with kids will understand that when you say "we will see" you are really deflecting from the real answer, which is usually not the answer the child wants to hear. https://manunews.com/blog/man-utd-transfer-news-shea-charles-2/

A team puts a bid in for him Frankfurt hear about the deal Frankfurt then trigger their buy back clause (probably at a lesser value than initial bid) Frankfurt then sell to the team that placed the initial bid. Probably

Has anyone mentioned Noel Futkeu from Greuther Furth? Top scorer in 2 Bundesliga last season. A league well know to Spors; would be surprised if Noel hasn't come up on the radar. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noel_Futkeu

God, some of the posters on here are so immature. I was being serious! I doubt that he would come though...

If we are going to own Spygate properly, and want to build a siege mentality; then a move for 40 year old free agent Sergio Ramos would be interesting. Get him quickly up to date with what's happened over the last few weeks, and make him captain! Let the shithousery begin!

My suggestion from a few weeks ago (before spygate) seems more appropriate now... To the tune of "Friday im in love" by The Cure We don't care if you sit back Or even play it from the back Coz he has got a plan for that It's Tonda, we're in love.

Can I add James Cordon and Rory Jennings to the list

Great player...but I still chuckle at him putting his transfer to Man Utd in the hands of God, who subsequently arranged a move to West Ham instead https://www.fourfourtwo.com/news/fonte-manchester-united-future-gods-hands

Why are Eastleigh helping our rivals out, let them use condoms for goal posts on the common!

Nah, me neither. My understanding is that some sort of precedent / deterrent needs to be set to put off anyone else dumb enough to try spying... So, if our punishment is to be thrown out of the playoffs, that sets the precedent. What happens if, say, Norwich get caught next season spying on Stoke within 72 hours of a league game. You cant apply the same punishment and chuck Norwich out the whole league?!?!

Bet we get Norwich

No surprise, but Downs has not made the latest USA squad.
