Funny how he claims he thought spying was normal as it was common practice in 🇮🇹+🇩🇪 yet the leaked messages and the fact the lad spying had a change of clothes and ran away says entirely different.
No doubt he’s hiding a lot of the truth in this , should be banned imo
🚨 BREAKING: Andoni Iraola's talks with AC Milan are not progressing.
It is understood Iraola is interested in joining Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen this summer.
Mad to think in another world where Southampton go up via autos this would’ve never all been known, makes you think what else has gone on behind the scenes at football clubs which have just never come to light
🚨 @mjshrimper on #SaintsFC and Spygate:
“The key evidence was messages between Tonda Eckert and analysts. There appears to have been pushback from the analysts, ‘I’m not sure we should be doing this, I don’t want to do this.’
“Eckert telling them to get on with it, telling them, ‘I hope you come back with better stuff this time, because you didn’t come back with great stuff the previous time.’”

I don’t know how you can justify the defence but in fairness at least it’s clear with the attack there’s a logic in terms of fast wingers who’ll run in behind which will get the best out of Kane (something Southgate didn’t do enough)
Southampton captain Taylor Harwood-Bellis appeared to mock a Middlesbrough player with a binoculars celebration amid allegations that Saints were spying on Boro training before their play-off clash 😬
The first leg of these Champ playoffs may have been shite but my goodness these second legs are incredible, proper atmospheres, proper tension, love it !
