Southampton have been removed from the the Championship play off final and Middlesbrough reinstated all because one of their employees filming Middlesbrough training.
It`s illegal to spy in the rules so they have nobody to blame but themselves but it`s highly unlikely that any player or fan new about it so you have to feel for them.
They`ve potentially cost themselves millions in what is regarded as the richest game in football because promotion to the EPL brings around 200 million to the club in tv revenue. They`ve also been deducted 4 points for next season.
Southampton have admitted to spying on other clubs during the season. Totally idiotic.
What can you really learn from spying? A couple of set piece routines that are difficult to pull off in an actual match. Was it worth it? Obviously not.
I feel for the players and fans but the higher ups that sent the spy should be banned from football. If the names come out they`ll be lucky not to be targeted from a crazed psychotic fan.
Crazy stuff.
Pars fan.
Magpies fan.
Mens tennis fan.
Alternative rock fan.
Not a fan of much else.

I don`t see why Middlesbrough should be reinstated, other than the EFL get to cash in.
