How about this as a movie plot....? It turns out the the whistleblower fella, aggrieved due to being recently sacked by Saints, set about framing our spy chap by telling him that Middlesbrough didn't mind analyst's from other clubs watching their training sessions, even within the 72 hour embargo window.... Being familiar with the Middlesbrough training complex, he told our guy exactly when and where to stand, where best to get changed, where to get a coffee... And the whistleblower then positioned himself ready to take the perfect photo of the 'spy' himself... Revenge mission complete... maybe call the movie "You've Been Framed"....?

Is it Dusty Bin?

Correct

"Magic Man" is indeed a Well-known member...

Reading back at posts on a Boro forum from a few days ago, this whistleblower fella Jason Taylor took down his LinkedIn page at around the same time that our 'spy' Will Salt took down his... Coincidence? Not sure why Taylor would feel the need to delete his LinkedIn page given he's not done anything wrong... #makeofthatwhatyouwill

Middlesbrough not involved in the process...?

Yeah, makes sense 👍🏻

Hull down as the designated home team then...?

Is an ex-employee of a given club allowed to pass on confidential information to another club if said information is deemed to uncover a wrong-doing, or is all information confidential regardless of it's status? In other words, could Middlesbrough be in possession of information through improper means? Unless said analyst passed the info directly to the EFL I guess...?

I'm starting to compile a list of all clubs who have possibly done this spying malarkey themselves... #solidaritycomrades

And Saints could possibly also counter-accuse other teams for doing the same thing...

Keep up Maggie me ol' mucker...

Indeed... The instruction could have been: "Go and watch Middlesbrough training this week but make sure you don't stray into the 72 day embargo period"

It's not the 'spy' that was allegedly sacked, but the supposed whistleblower....
