Very happy with this. I thought the club let him down, rather than the other way round, by getting relegated so feebly. I also wonder whether he might have spoken up re the spying and told Tonda how stupid it was if he'd been around. Whatever, it's a good deal in a position we need reinforcements and brings another experienced leader in.

Doesn't it undermine Boro's case that they caught the 'spy' so presumably would have then changed anything they think would have been seen? So their actual loss is the inconvenience of having to do that and potentially not being able to play in exactly the way they might have intended. So if they want to base any punishment on the degree of their loss then that is the sum of it. Surely having known in advance means they can't claim they lost because of it in the same way they might have been able to if they hadn't found out about it until afterwards?

I think he's out of contract in 6 months time so maybe he's not intending to renew and Brentford are trying to make a bit of money before then.
