Exactly. How are Leeds doing these days? Nobody gives a defecation.
-
Then why is it there?
-
Exactly. And when did he actually leave us?
-
We call them "alleged breaches"
-
Nothing wrong with that if it's outside 72 hours before the match. The relevant information is how many other clubs do it.
-
What allegations? They only have to respond to the EFL. It is always inadvisable to respond to wild speculation in the press.
-
Agreed. I must admit I was highly sceptical until I saw the source.

And is also a shape- shifter.

I doubt they have that much discretion. If it's in their regulations it would take something extraordinary to overturn it. Otherwise it would have been a shorter period from the start.

This is from the Daily Mail: "Southampton sent a junior intern to allegedly spy on Middlesbrough’s training session ahead of their Championship play-off semi-final. Daily Mail Sport has learnt the identity of the employee in his early 20s who was caught in the bushes at Boro’s Rockliffe Park training ground this week. The individual at the centre of the ‘spygate’ storm has worked for Saints for nearly a year and is listed as a first-team analyst. He has worked at other Premier League clubs. His current job description includes the word ‘intern’, raising serious questions over why Southampton would instruct a junior member of staff to break EFL rules, if that was the case. The club have not commented, 24 hours on from Daily Mail Sport breaking the story of the sensational spying furore. The EFL are investigating and, if Boro’s allegations are proven, a substantial fine will likely be served as a minimum punishment. The sanction could yet be more severe, given clubs were clearly instructed not to spy on opposition training following the Leeds United spygate saga of 2019. The League introduced a new rule after Leeds were fined £200,000 when boss Marcelo Bielsa admitted to sending a colleague to snoop on Derby County’s training." There's a revealing slip in there, 'He has worked at other Premier League clubs.'

I knew they weren't his real eyes.

14 days to respond, isn't it?

Civil Offence at worst.

Nice country Canada. Can get a bit cold though.

Blame the Geneva Convention for that.

Something's not right about this. The 'individual' didn't identify himself yet is somehow known to be on the staff of Southampton FC. The Daily Mail (now wash your hands please) say that he is and intern at our club in his early twenties. He is alleged to gave deleted photos and videos on his phone but nobody saw what they were. (Any serious spy would have uploaded them whilst they were live). He is alleged to have gone into a nearby hotel and is assumed to have changed his appearance because he wasn't seen coming out again. All very circumstantial and presumptive. "A fat man did it and ran away"
-
Is that the best they've got? No actual evidence then. How disappointing. "Changed his appearance " could be anything. Are they even sure it was the same person? Which gender toilets did he/she use? Taking photos/videos on a mobile phone? Any respectable spy would surely use one of these.

By which time we will no longer be in the EFL.
-
Just say that he was looking for an escaped capybara. By the time Middlesbrough have found out what that means the new season will have started.

Saints vs Boro: Playoff 2nd Leg (12th May - 8pm KO)

He played a large part of that season. And nobody, not even you, knows what the scores would have been had he not got injured. Yes of course. If he's played more than a few games this season then he's a part of it.

Only for a day visit on a cruise. I'd like to see more of the island. There are some fabulous roman mosaics to be seen.

I also have a bridge that you might be interested in.
