The regulation just penalises the act of observing another team's training (within 72 hours). There is no mention of any impact, effect or otherwise. "our analyst was caught bang to rights" Oh dear. There are two things wrong with that statement. Think like a lawyer

By Tuesday whatever that means.

Here's a novel idea. Why not have team that is confident enough to play its own way and doesn't give a toss about the opposition? Let them worry about us.

I've just noticed your latest avatar - smart work! Who is it supposed to be?

He could have just read their local newspaper.

They're both drenched in grease.

That is exactly why they cannot be allowed to benefit. There are 24 teams in the League. One particular team cannot be more special than any other. If they did then allegations would be flying around right left and centre.

Certainly not. Their defeat had nothing to do with any alleged knowledge of their tactics or playing style. They were soundly beaten and have been declining for months. You're building this alleged breach of rule into far more than it is worth. Which is why KFC keep harping on about it. They know they're not good enough when it comes to playing football.

The same league rules that allow them to make a complaint are the same rules that say that they cannot be involved in the proceedings.

Only if you read the rags and believe them. Their involvement ends at the complaint.

No. Where in the rules does it say anything about resolution?

If they EFL rewards complainants then every club will be casting aspersions.

Why?

Is this the former analyst who later turned into a grass?

The EFL will want as much as they can reasonably get. They will have to set the amount at a level that is grudgingly accepted. If we are eventually promoted we shall be out of their jurisdiction although I expect that some sort of sanction would be carried over.

Cheating, if indeed that's what it is, comes in many different degrees of seriousness. Any punishment must surely fit the crime or it will be open to appeal.

There's still time...

Good grief. Was that really a third of a century ago?

"reports suggest there may be" No disciplinary committe could ever act on rumours.

Never argue your case on the steps of the courthouse. That sort of behaviour only happens in America.

It shouldn't. If any later eveidence is accepted then it should restart the 14 day time for a response.

We don't have to control the media. All that matters is the EFL and their committee.

And why is his face half hidden? Was there a flaw in the Mission Impossible style latex mask? All questions and no answers.

It was only us that were playing KFC in a knockout playoff tie.
