@ArchieAOA The Saints files are the footballing version of the Epstein files.

Spygate took a new turn 😬 🗣️ @mjshrimper on Tonda Eckert’s role in the saga: “The key evidence was messages between Tonda Eckert and analysts. There appears to have been pushback from the analysts, ‘I’m not sure we should be doing this, I don’t want to do this.’ “Eckert telling them to get on with it, telling them, ‘I hope you come back with better stuff this time, because you didn’t come back with great stuff the previous time.’” Just when you think you’ve heard the last of it, it gets worse.

The EFL has released its sanction reasons for Southampton. Some of the key findings include: 👉 Southampton lied about footage being obtained 👉 Spying was authorised at senior level 👉 Tonda Eckert was directly involved 👉 Will Salt (the spy) felt pressured into spying Damning.


🚨 BREAKING: Southampton lose appeal in attempt to overturn expulsion from Championship play-off final for spying on opponents. #SaintsFC spot goes to Middlesbrough; #MFC to face Hull City at Wembley on Saturday. By @Dan_Sheldon_ @mjshrimper @TheAthleticFC nytimes.com/athletic/72938…

Seems excessive and disproportionate to me but need to see the reasons



A statement from Phil Parsons, Chief Executive, Southampton Football Club.


An Independent Disciplinary Commission has today expelled Southampton from the Sky Bet Championship Play-Offs after the Club admitted to multiple breaches of EFL Regulations related to the unauthorised filming of other Clubs’ training. In addition, the Club has received a four-point deduction that will be applied to the 2026/27 Championship table. The effect of today’s order is that Middlesbrough are reinstated into the 2026 Play-Offs and will proceed to the Play-Off Final against Hull City. The final remains scheduled for Saturday 23 May, with the kick-off time to be confirmed. 📘 efl.com/news/2026/may/…
