Though I'm also upset that they did this, this is a genuine drop in the ocean to the absolute ****show of countless corrupt owners that the EFL and PL + football in general wave through into ownership roles. That's a fact - SR don't even register on the scale - if this is Tonda and his analysts, I still am not holing SR responsible until I've heard the facts. There is a chance they were not aware - in which case they can be held up for slack oversight, but not for encouraging cheating.
I support this club and always will, because it isn't about a single ownership or group of players. But I am most upset about the fact Tonda (or whoever ends up being responsible) did not have the belief in this set of unbelievable players to do this job in pure footballing terms, and felt they had to support it further by sending people along to film training sessions with an iPhone. This was hands down the best squad in the Championship from January onwards, and it was going to the Premier league, and now who knows what will happen, but am not confident it's going to look anything like the season we've just had.
If we hadn't had a cup run, I think we would have done it via the automatics too - why oh why could we not have spied on our PL cup opponents, so that we could have lost to them early on and focused on just getting up?!
