Correct

"Magic Man" is indeed a Well-known member...

Reading back at posts on a Boro forum from a few days ago, this whistleblower fella Jason Taylor took down his LinkedIn page at around the same time that our 'spy' Will Salt took down his... Coincidence? Not sure why Taylor would feel the need to delete his LinkedIn page given he's not done anything wrong... #makeofthatwhatyouwill

Middlesbrough not involved in the process...?

Yeah, makes sense 👍🏻

Hull down as the designated home team then...?

Is an ex-employee of a given club allowed to pass on confidential information to another club if said information is deemed to uncover a wrong-doing, or is all information confidential regardless of it's status? In other words, could Middlesbrough be in possession of information through improper means? Unless said analyst passed the info directly to the EFL I guess...?

I'm starting to compile a list of all clubs who have possibly done this spying malarkey themselves... #solidaritycomrades

And Saints could possibly also counter-accuse other teams for doing the same thing...

Keep up Maggie me ol' mucker...

Indeed... The instruction could have been: "Go and watch Middlesbrough training this week but make sure you don't stray into the 72 day embargo period"

It's not the 'spy' that was allegedly sacked, but the supposed whistleblower....

The trouble is, if Tonda finds a post-it note on his desk that says: "Hayden Hackney isn't going to play tomorrow" it doesn't take a genius to work out how that information was likely gleaned... Ye olde 'ignorance is not a defence'...?

I'd also like to know the answer to this question too. What is the remit of this 'independent panel'... Is it: (a) To simply adjudicate whether or not we're in breach of the two EFL regulations in question? (b) To adjudicate as per (a) but also to decide the severity of the breach(s)? (c) Both the above, and also to decide upon the punishment(s)?

So you're saying that this is 50% worse than Leicester's 3 years worth of financial irregularities, given they only got a 6 point deduction for that...?

Source?

Why are they refering to it as "ongoing disciplinary proceedings"... Surely the independent panel has to determine if disciplinary action is necessary first...? Before that happens, we're not in the process of being disciplined, are we...? Slip of the tongue there from the EFL, or me reading too much into the wording?

Key point there from @Addict54 I reckon... If there's proof that we've been doing it "systemically" then the EFL need to open up a wider investigation across ALL clubs, given the unlikely scenario that it's just us... as per @SaintlyAnd's post yesterday, whose ex-analyst friend said "all clubs do it" (paraphrasing)...

Hope it works out like this ITK snippet in that case...

One sec.... I'll just check my notes... 😉

Source?

Do it now....! 🙂

Assume your source isn't the Daily Mirror then...?
