Southampton have always seen themselves as the nice, squeaky clean club which does things the right way.

Reputation taking a battering!

Theres no such thing these days, clubs arent clubs anymore, they are businesses.
They all tap up players, make under the table agent payments, obfuscate their income reports, do dodgy tax write offs, etc because thats the smart way to run a business in 2026, to maximise revenue....and thats all these ****s care about, maximising revenue

If it's ok then why not build a bench or something on the training pitches for opposition scouts to come and watch your team train leading up to match day?

or is it only ok through a bush if you can get away with it?

Points deduction required imo

Doubt they’ll give a **** if they go up. Doubt they’ll give a **** if they don’t even.

I don’t have a big issue with the spying thing on its own. Give a serious fine and get on with it.

Do have an issue with how Eckert has acted when asked about it, presumably as he’s been told by those above him. Plus the separate issues of Harwood-Bellis and that little yute dickhead ballboy just made the thing a bit unnecessarily unsavoury.

I think Tonda is right to say nothing about it, ongoing investigation and all that. He always comes over as a bit odd though, proper serial killer vibes.

The ball boy thing was overblown. Looked to me like our sub tried giving them the ball when it went out but they went to grab a different one.

So much for the tough skinned northerners, bunch of whinging ****s.

You're right we don't give a **** though.

I hope your boys make the Prem, your manager is going to be pure bantz, loved it when he nearly kicked off last night. Honestly thought he was going to deck the Boro manager at one point and think he would have done if the guys hadn't stepped in. We will expect more spying as well, because it clearly rattles the **** out of some.

Shame Jose might be going to Real, rather him come to England, him and Tonda head to head would be great.

Kid just looked like he doesn’t pay for the tube and is rude to corner shop bossmen. Knew he was being a dickhead but enjoys being a dickhead type.

He needs to just do the Portugal job for a tournament, fail and retire. Surely that doesn’t work out at Madrid. The players won’t have him.

It seems an odd one to me, it's like don't do it Jose ffs. He's not as good as he thinks he is and was ****ing embarrassing at Roma when he kicked off in the car park with Anthony Taylor, you got to know where the line is.

There's bantz for motivation and just being a dickhead. Needs a smaller club, someone like Newcastle, they've only had the Mickey Mouse cup, so he'll easy add to that.

The president loves him. Loves him far more than Zidane, Ancelotti and anyone else who has had success there. They’re in a rut with the big players not getting on at least on the pitch and often off it. He’ll go in, wave his dick about for a bit but they’ll get tired of it and he’ll be out. Perez basically hates managers and will side with the players eventually when with his bestie in the job.

Plus Mourinho just clearly isn’t very good. What’s he done for years?

Im surprised he is going back there to be honest. His first stint there changed him irrevocably, he was not the same after the Spanish press went after him and it was the start of his downfall, yeah he came back to Chelsea and won a league title but he was still not same manager who won the CL with Porto, won back to back league titles with Chelsea, losing only 4 games in two years and then went on to do the treble with Inter Milan. Madrid didnt like him, and he didnt like Madrid.....so I am shocked he has decided to go back! I'd have him back at Chelsea in a heart beat and there are tons of other clubs who would have him, i guess he feels its an unfinished business type of thing?

The Canadian women's team was the last professional outfit that was caught cheating via espionage and they received a 6 points deduction, suspended for a year from some major tournament and fined 200k by FIFA

Southampton deserve something similar or the precedent has been set imo
