@SaintsExtra @BILD Would they be planning to sue #saintsfc if we finished 7th? The play off final is no guarantee of promotion.

🚨 Caspar Jander’s former club FC Nürnberg are planning to take Southampton to court over a €1m bonus that would have been paid to the German side upon Premier League promotion #saintsfc @BILD

@SaintsExtra @BILD They were denied bonuses & increased salaries because they didn't achieve automatic promotion by finishing in the top 2.

🚨‘Several’ Southampton players are planning a class-action lawsuit against the club because play-off expulsion has denied them the prospect of bonuses & increased salaries #saintsfc @BILD

@TheSaintCentre And yet they took their moral concerns to no-one, they just happily went along with it.

🚨The panel found junior staff members were pressured into activities they felt were morally wrong, while being in vulnerable positions with little ability to challenge instructions given to them #saintsfc [EFL]

@SaintsExtra @BILD Then don't wait, go now. Only rats desert ships taking on water.

🚨 Southampton midfielder Caspar Jander (23) wants to leave the club this summer following the failure to achieve Premier League promotion #saintsfc @BILD

@SaintsExtra So Tonda is innocent of deliberately cheating. Why nobody told him is a mystery. As I have said before it is easy to unintentionally fall foul of a foreign country's rules & regulations. Tonda should not be the fall guy for the negligence of another. #saintsfc

🚨 #SaintsFC boss Tonda Eckert, who is battling to hold on to his job amid an FA investigation into the conduct of individuals at the club, argued he did not realise what he did was against the EFL’s statutes. Southampton gave a detailed briefing in pre-season to Eckert’s predecessor, Will Still, explaining the competition’s rules. They did not do the same for Eckert after he replaced Still in early November. [via @guardian]

@SaintsExtra @JacobsBen We win together, we lose together, we stick together! #saintsfc

🚨 Southampton are considering 'whether it is appropriate' to sack Tonda Eckert, as the FA launch an investigation into the club over Spygate #saintsfc @JacobsBen

Before queuing up to leave because @SouthamptonFC are out of the play-off final the players should remember that they didn't achieve promotion because they failed to finish in the top 2, not simply because of spygate. #saintsfc @AdamBlackmore @SaintsExtra

@SaintsExtra @CityAM Really? As a #saintsfc fan I couldn't name you one of the clubs sponsors; so not much damage done to their reputation.

🚨 Southampton could face legal action from club sponsors for reputational damage after they were kicked out of the Championship play-off final over Spygate #saintsfc @CityAM

@SaintsExtra @guardian Why?

🚨 Millwall & Wrexham are now considering their legal options after confirmation that Southampton have been expelled from Saturday’s Championship play-off final — the clubs believe they could have grounds to make a claim for compensation #saintsfc @guardian

@HungaryToday @JuditVarga_EU Unlike Orbán who simply took Hungarians to the cleaners.

While her former husband, Péter Magyar, is busy playing Hungarians like a fiddle, @JuditVarga_EU has also taken to the violin, albeit in a more artistic manner. facebook.com/photo/?fbid=22…

Managers outside their technical area, players diving, moving the ball when taking a corner/free kick, walking 20 yards up the touchline when taking a throw-in; it's all cheating. Will the @FA & @EFL investigate these as well? @SkySports @BBCSport @SouthamptonFC #saintsfc

@TheSaintCentre Actions speak louder than words.

Leo Scienza great footballer, even better bloke Whatever happens this summer, he’ll always have a strong connection with this fan base ❤️ #saintsfc

Let Tonda put it right. It is easy to make mistakes when you live in a foreign country; especially with rules & regulations. As an ex-Pat I can vouch for this. Why did no-one tell Tonda spying is against the rules in England? @SouthamptonFC @AdamBlackmore @SaintsExtra #saintsfc

@SkySports Congratulations Sky Sports, you got the outcome that you have been pushing for.

BREAKING: Southampton's appeal against Championship play-off final expulsion dismissed after 'spygate' scandal 🚨

I assume that @Boro will now be charged by the @EFL under Regulation 3.4, which requires clubs to act towards each other with the utmost good faith; by the way they have schemed their way into the final leaving @HullCity only 2 days to change their game plan.

@EFL_Comms @AdamBlackmore That is not justice. It is a lynching led by Steve Gibson and his @SkySports posse. #saintsfc

A League Arbitration Panel has today dismissed Southampton Football Club’s appeal against the Independent Disciplinary Commission’s decision in respect of breaches of EFL Regulations. As a result, the original sanction remains in force. Southampton’s expulsion from the Sky Bet Championship Play-Offs stands, alongside the four-point deduction to be applied to the Club’s 2026/27 Championship record and the reprimand in respect of all charges. In accordance with EFL Regulations, the decision of the League Arbitration Panel is final. Following the conclusion of the proceedings, the Sky Bet Championship Play-Off Final between Hull City and Middlesbrough is confirmed as taking place at Wembley Stadium on Saturday 23 May, kicking off at 3.30pm. #EFL

@TheSaintCentre The players should think first. If they turn against the club the fans should turn against them. Players are not bigger than the fans or @SouthamptonFC #saintsfc

🚨Several Southampton players are also understood to be considering their legal options after it emerged contracts included a £150,000 promotion bonus for players who featured in at least 50% of matches #saintsfc [Mail]

@BBCNews Which it is!

Southampton hit out at 'manifestly disproportionate' punishment bbc.in/4eXS13Q

@SaintsExtra @MailSport Then the players should have tried harder to achieve automatic promotion. I've no sympathy for over-paid footballers whining about money. #saintsfc

🚨 It's understood that if Southampton achieved promotion, there was also a one-off pool payment worth at least £2m to be shared among the group, taking the possible bonus package to £250,000 per player #saintsfc @MailSport

@SaintsExtra @TimesSport Are these the same players that have been queuing up to heap praise on Tonda? #supportTonda

🚨 Sources say Tonda Eckert’s position at Southampton is now untenable given the anger being directed towards him by his own team — “The players are f***ing furious,” one insider said #saintsfc @TimesSport
