The Spygate Saga

[CSA96]

I wouldn't mind betting that some clubs who could have involved themselves decided to keep out of the shitshow with the playoff final and see what happens

I don't doubt that there's some opportunist execs out there around the league who might have seen that the precedent has been set at 3pts per game and now think they could stick the knife in and penalise a rival who have parachute payments

Hypothetically, let’s say there’s evidence of us spying on 15 extra games last season. By the precedent set that would mean we get a further 30-45 points deduction? 🤣

At what point would it be capped?!

Yeah that could be a very valid question… 😬

All the more reason to sack all associated with it to show the club is getting its house in order

Also, hypothetically, there’s no time-bar on such claims? So a club could drop something in at any time they fancied?! 
 

This is the problem with rules, they always require more and more rules.

That’ll be the trade off with other clubs and the EFL which is why there’s no chance Tonda stays.

Again, surely it can’t be a case of being able to sack staff to avoid a further punishment whenever a club gets caught doing something wrong. Just more evidence of very badly defined rules/punishment processes.

If it is proven we have done this in other league games, it will obviously be -3 (or -2) for every instance.

As said earlier, we have been profilic for a large part of the season with it. Just depends if other clubs have concrete proof and want to go there.

Exposing their own activities as well.

Tonda will go, that will be the EFL’s price for not examining further.

Imagine a world where everyone had dirt on everyone, the Championship becomes full spygate wars with point deductions everywhere, and the title winner for 2026/27 finishes on 25 points.
