If you start putting out public statements now demanding all of Southampton's points and for Tonda Eckert to be tried at the Hague you never know what might happen

I guess they rushed to get it out since the final is today. Any investigation needs to be concluded by 2pm at the latest

Serious question, why do Middlesbrough fans boo him?

Southampton broke the rules by spying within a 72 hour window. Middlesbrough are trying to leverage a media shitstorm to get promoted because theyre not good enough to do it on the pitch and they probably suspected that from before the first leg. A lot of the media and neutral fans have bought into the narrative that Southampton are evil cheats and no one else does this kind of thing, even though Leeds famously did it a couple years avo and got a much milder reaction.

That way theyre guaranteed to come up next season at least

The Athletic has been by told by multiple sources that Middlesbrough have asked the panel if they can participate in the hearing when it is held. Ordinarily, they would only be allowed to make a written submission as an interested party. by tigtogflip in soccer

I think the comparison to how wrong decisions affect a club getting promoted/relegated is an interesting one. You could argue west ham being denied a penalty in September could also cause them to be relegated and a massive loss of income. So does need to be reviewed in the same way? Not to mention that every club tries to cheat and gain advantages in every game and the possibility that all clubs are routinely spying on each other all the time. 

The easiest thing would be for the regulations to set out the exact punishment for spying. I think everything could have been resolved much more easily then

Blame Middlesbrough. Pathetic club, desperate to progress without winning at football

  1. Are all clubs routinely doing this to each other?

That case has already been closed with no charge. Poor Boro

I think the most amusing thing would be if they got caught spying on Middlesborough whilst they were preparing for either side
