Southampton ‘spied’ on other Championship clubs, EFL told

[TDA]

In that case Southampton have failed to manage their staff properly and are responsible for his actions.
Like we were for our crowd chanting something or other a while back.

If Southampton had fired the guy and apologised, that would be a start. Allegations from other clubs don't look good though.

Are they saying this junior member of staff took it upon himself to leave his normal place of work without permission and travel all the way to Middlesbrough to spy.
It's just not feasible.

No more cheating than watching the last 8 games on video is it. Just the dull xunt thought he was being clever. That's all.

It's not fully cricket but given clubs in the Championship almost all have private training grounds it all seems a bit daft. How much can you really learn from a kid with a mobile phone from a dodgy angle anyhow. If he had more sense he would just make notes on his phone. Sounds like a youngster showing initiative to try and get ahead

That's what I think all you had to do is watch their games on video.
But they broke the rules and should be bombed out and given a points deduction.
Otherwise why have the rules at all.

Are there actual rules against it? Serious question

On the first point it sounds like he may have done it on his own initiative in the hope of getting ahead.

Your second point is well made though sir

Don't know to.be honest but if there is not why all the fuss
