Southampton midfielder Leo Scienza has taken to Instagram to express his feelings on the club being thrown out of the play-offs after the Saints admitted to spying on three clubs during the Championship season.
I don't care about Solak. I don't care about Goztepe. I just miss being able to show up at half decent sides and back my club without embarrassment. Move heaven and earth to follow #SaintsFC and I've never felt this far removed.
"This is the darkest day in Southampton's 141 year history."
@AdamBlackmore gives a damning verdict on Southampton after they were kicked out of the play-offs for spying.

Never ever felt more embarrassed to support this club in my life, and ive seen us lose 9-0 twice and almost break the lowest points in a premier league season
I hope the club does the honourable thing and sacks whoever initiated this activity, as well as any higher ups who knew of it and kept it going.
The trust of the fans has been totally lost through these actions. I hope the club recognises that whenever they decide to speak out.
The outcome of SpyGate has made me feel embarrassed on behalf of the club.
Initially I believed that a six point deduction and huge fine would be sufficient, and expulsion from the playoffs would be harsh
But with everything confirmed now, that punishment is more than fair.
All of the togetherness and unity that was formed over the past few months has now been ruined by a repetitive, naive decision from someone(s) at the club.
And to add to that, to admit to the spying in three occasions and then have the audacity to appeal it is ridiculous imo.
