Didn't someone post on here recently that we haven't had a 'Compliance Officer' in post since at least the start of the year, and that this is technically in breach of corporate regulations? And that it would have been the responsibility of the said Compliance Officer to ensure all departments and personnel were following the EFL regulations to the letter? Could this be the reason Tonda was seemingly blissfully unaware of the 72 hour rule?

Which makes the whole damn thing utterly pointless. You could perhaps understand the temptation to spy if the rewards far outstripped the risks, but there was almost nothing to be gained and everything to lose by engaging in such activities. Not that it exonerates the club, or changes the outcome, but I'm still hoping that whoever sanctioned this was blissfully ignorant of the rules, because it's unforgivable if it was carried out in willful floutation of the rules.

Why? Because they're also rule breakers and we therefore have something in common...?

This calls for one man.... He'd bring some respect back to the club....

To not even put out a holding one-liner along the lines of: "We acknowledge the EFL ruling and the angst of our fans. We will of course provide a full update after the appeal process has reached a conclusion" is rubbing salt into the wounds (pun intended).

@SaintlyAnd needs to get his friend to whistleblow to the EFL sharpish I reckon...

Highly recommended...

This is what makes it all so utterly bizarre... If you're going to spy then at least do it professionally!

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you our first "told you so" medal winner! Bravo Maggie, Bravo!

Not sure what's more embarrassing... This spying scandal or the forum infrastructure not being fit for purpose...

What a load of old shite
