That'll probably be dealt with by their agents I'd have thought?

Assume they've reduced the prices.

Why would they be going to training? Our season is over.

Not sure that's relevant after he is reported to have admitted he didn't know the rules about watching other teams train.

I find it impossible to believe Parsons doesn't know this considering the top positions he's managed to con people into giving him.

So you believe the club wouldn't have used this in their defence if the spying at Oxford and Ipswich was outside the 72 hour limit? They admitted the charges ergo it must have happened inside the 72 hour limit.

That's a great point. So we spied against Oxford and produced an absolute shit show. We didn't spy against Arsenal and played superbly. You couldn't make this shit up.

Has Parsons been living on the moon?

The last few hours prove that it obviously is that much of a problem. A big pro football club should know all the rules and regulations back to front. This all smacks of a total lack of professionalism.

I would hazard a guess Arsenal's training ground is like Fort Knox.

You make a very valid point.

Did nobody at the football club think to tell him?

Unfortunately none of this is relevant. We got caught breaking the rules ahead of a play-off semi final and a chance at the 200 million pound prize. We can't claim everybody does it even if true.

The problem is we've been caught spying on 3 clubs. Only a fool would think we got caught on only the 3 times we did it. It's been systemic so that's why the book has been thrown at us. It's hard to figure out what we got out of the spying - we didn't win any of the 3 games cited and the Oxford match was a complete shit show. This is totally gutting on so many levels.

We'll get extra points deducted for next season.
