@KP24 But, but, but there is a team curfew (crazy I know that professional adults need one but here we are). He is the captain. Where is the leadership/setting an example?

@AdamBlackmore But that would involve leadership Adam. Something which is wholly lacking at the football club.

@andyturner If it’s 6ft wide yes 🤣

[Brian Wheeler @BWheels_71]

@AlfieHouseEcho All seems a bit ‘amateurish’ to me. Where’s the leadership?

[Brian Wheeler @BWheels_71]

Judgement, discipline and integrity should be the most basic requirement of any C-level exec, in any organisation.

Have @SouthamptonFC gone to The Winchester to let this all blow over? 🤷🏼‍♂️ #saysomething #SaintsFC

@AdamBlackmore @saintsworldfc Where it's always been with this lot- absent

@SouthamptonFC Bullying, lying and cheating. Not quite aligned to the stated values eh? 🤷🏼‍♂️ #SaintsFC

"The Southampton Way" is a guiding club philosophy with five cultural values. Respect, Unity, Accountability, Creativity and Aspiration.

Think is fair to say you've torpedoed that @SouthamptonFC

Utterly brainless. Our defence appears to have been "we didn't know it was illegal" and "look, we can prove it didn't change our tactics." All that proves is that we were worse at spying than Robert Hanssen. Cowards and cheats 🤬

#SaintsFc Detemination 39 of the findings was a reprimand for use of junior members of staff which it says was “at the least morally wrong” and “in a vulnerable position without job security and with limited ability to object”

Tonda has stooped lower than any of us could imagine 😞

@GazzSmith4 @JacobsBen They can, but apparently that is seen as unlikely.

@MarkOrmrod @harukaawake Without question, the best country of the 35 I have travelled to. Old school values of respect and decency.

@dankiz1 They won't give it a second thought

@AlfieHouseEcho It's disgraceful Alfie and has tarnished the club. The players must be bereft. Imagine working for an employer who denies you all a chance of promotion because they have no moral compass. Utterly shameful, idiotic and a kick in the teeth for everybody.

Southampton lose their way, lose their appeal and will probably lose some of their players. Leo Scienza, Flynn Downes, Caspar Jander, Taylor Harwood-Bellis, Shea Charles and Finn Azaz will doubtless all have Premier League admirers. Spygate, and the club’s inept handling of the fall-out, will have reverberations through the summer and beyond. Players and supporters let down by the club.

[Brian Wheeler @BWheels_71]

@Janeajnet @NormanLeedsFRSA I intend to 🙏🏻

[Henry Winter @henrywinter]

At some point, those running Southampton are going to have show proper accountability and some humility. Apologise to their fans, and reimburse them their Wembley expenses. Apologise to the clubs they spied on. And take their medicine. Then clear out those who sanctioned the spying. Only then can Southampton start rebuilding their damaged reputation.

They may well be waiting until after the appeal before making a statement and a proper show of contrition. But extended silence simply deepens the stain on the club's reputation. (Even a holding statement would have been something). It's not fair on their fans, the ones who will still be there long after current coaches, players, sporting directors and owners have moved on.

Southampton were traditionally one of the most-respected clubs in the game. Good support, developed players, attractive football. Saints. Not now. Not until there’s full accountability, publicly. Silence only adds to the shame. Pity. Good club but badly led on this. #SaintsFC

@AdamBlackmore Not sure the 'ignorance' argument would have cut it 🤷🏼‍♂️
