    The semi final wasn’t the only time they did it. They admitted at least two other teams they did the same thing.
    I bet all those fans and players who mimicked the spying when they won last week are feeling pretty stupid now.

    They admitted to three different spying episodes!

    Right decision. Admitted they had been doing it since December.

    Yeah, Spurs get all the luck.

    I’m glad they’ve taken strong action, but I probably would have rather Southampton won the playoffs to be honest.

    Think they will be challenging for automatic promotion next season, even with the 4 point deduction.

    It's the right action, but I am very surprised they took it!

    It's time now for Man City to gat a massive points deduction for their 115 breaches of the rules. I wonder if Pep knows something and that is why he is on his way out?

    According to the lawyers it could be a couple more years before any action is taken due to appeals etc.

    It has gone on for too long already, they can't keep pushing it away. Will Southampton be allow to appeal?

    Saints players might sue the club for loss of earnings they would have got if they'd won promotion

    The only people who'll benefit from that is the lawyers.
    Imagine suing for loss of earnings for not getting a job interview because if you had, you might have got the job.

    I guess the argument for them is that they have been completely denied the opportunity because of the club's misconduct. They didn't just not get a job interview, they've been excluded from it as a result of the club's actions.

    (Though I agree that it's a bit stupid).

    Who says any of them would be there next season?
