@SFCMikeKavs @JasCattell Is anyone really surprised?

[James King @jk1409]

@nickbriggs72 @SmoggyBalboa @Sfc_debs I didn’t say it was the same, I said that I would be surprised if the sanction levied was expulsion given that the last time there was an equivalent set of circumstances (albeit prior to the rule coming in) the sanction was essentially a slap on the wrist.

[James King @jk1409]

@SmoggyBalboa @Sfc_debs Leeds still breached a regulation, if they didn’t then how were they fined £200k? The rule doesn’t have a set punishment yet the general consensus seems to be that the punishment should be 1000x the size of the last time this happened. Nonsense.

[James King @jk1409]

@rfdavo @dankiz1 Leeds did breach a regulation - if they didn’t then it wouldn’t have been possible to issue them with a fine…

[James King @jk1409]

@DaddyDjenepo @LouSirr101 So? The morality of the offence is the same. There is no stated punishment for breach of the rule so it’s the same situation. Last time the EFL made up a £200k fine, this time what is being proposed is 1000x the size potentially. Disproportionate.

[James King @jk1409]

@TMccartnry @henrywinter Leeds broke one of the rules about fair play, exactly one of the regulations that Southampton are being accused of breaching. If the remedy last time round was a £200k fine, why the second time round (when there is no stated punishment) would the fine by 1000x as big?

[James King @jk1409]

@chris7t8 @Cha2737379qh @henrywinter Yep - not quite the same as getting kicked out of the promotion race though is it?

[James King @jk1409]

@Cha2737379qh @chris7t8 @henrywinter Or Chelsea, when they made multiple illegal payments over a period where they won multiple trophies? Should they have to give those back too?

[James King @jk1409]

@GraemeBailey @EFL Says the Middlesbrough fan.

[James King @jk1409]

@chris7t8 @henrywinter And yet the EFL still found a way to impose a punishment…

[James King @jk1409]

@LukeEdwardsTele Only things that have changed is the facts you have previously reported - “professional surveillance equipment” - code for, an iPhone 😂

[James King @jk1409]

@LouSirr101 Isn’t the point that the punishment for the offence has to be proportionate to the offence? Leeds did this (admittedly prior to the rules changing) and were fined £200k, Leicester were docked six points for breaching the PSR rules.

[James King @jk1409]

@SaintsExtra @TeleFootball Any chance of a retraction from @TeleFootball? Story designed to whip up hysteria.

[James King @jk1409]

@L1minus10 @thefoxesarms But @LukeEdwardsTele told us that the spy had “professional surveillance equipment, complete with a microphone” - I mean fair play, iPhones do have microphones…😂

[James King @jk1409]

@Sfc_debs Professional recording equipment 😂

[James King @jk1409]

@Barbsmfc86 @alex_crook Kicking them out because of the ball boy? 😂 Jesus wept.
