Tonda made his name as an analyst, who else would find any information from spying on oppo training useful?

Bielsa paid Leeds fine out of his own pocket.
I can see what you're saying, but would someone who's only 8 months into his career (destined for either a bumper new pay deal here, and even offers from bigger clubs in Europe) risk it all when he's had such a meteoric rise?

It will be what it will be. We have no idea. At the end of the day it’s not the fans fault, though I’m sure it will ramp up the hostility tomorrow.
Been just 10 minutes outside Boro tonight and my son had his saints hoodie on, and not one person even spoke to us in the bar, so I’m sure we’ll all be safe tomorrow. Also I think the persistent rain may put a dampener on the day from a Boro point of view.

Oh FFS. Whoever sanctioned this needs firing. Boro may feel cheated, but I feel just as cheated as a Saints fan tbh. We just can’t have nice things can we, we finally stop being **** and doing well for a couple of months and rug pull, just kidding. Our club is now going to be dragged through the dirt and have this label of cheats for years to come. And seriously, what’s the ****ing point? What massive advantage are you getting from doing this that you can’t just get from watching their games and trusting in your players to perform. No offence to Boro, but we’re not facing Real Madrid here.

I still don’t agree with points deductions as a punishment though as it doesn’t feel anywhere near as much of an unfair advantage as many clubs get for flouting the spending rules. But we’re Saints, so no doubt we end up with a bigger points deduction than ****ing Leicester got. Genuinely embarrassed and annoyed by our clubs behaviour here. If this was happening to another team, I’d think them scummy idiots, and want their opposition to win. So that’s what we’ll be up against now. Well done Saints.

Not sure about that route, as you’d likely be firing Tonda in that instance.
 
Wonder why they don’t just name who it was. There have been enough clues that some rough guesses could be made surely. Have we got no one left that’s ITK with these things anymore?

We won't be labelled cheats for years to come. Everyone forgot about Leeds until this happened. Once it's all over it will disappear soon enough.

So if I put my unhelpful hat on now, I have drilled it into my own head that tomorrow could be a retroactive forfeit and now think i'll struggle to get myself excited by the game even if we trounce them.

Always good times supporting Saints!

Honestly we can't have nice things can we <laugh>
