Surely and inside job / false flag attack against us.
Why would we spy on M'Boros f*cking training.
Somebody older than 40 probably remembers how Germany's head coach Berti Vogts allegedly spied on Scotlands training during some world cup or euros back in the 90s - dressed up as coca cola salesman - and has extrapolated this sh*t in our direction because we have a German manager.
I would not worry at this moment, because I don't see the motive from our side to do such a stupid thing as to sending a spy to watch a f*cking training session at M'Boros. | | | |

The statement is very carefully drawn and neither confirms nor denies.
Cagey? Or just an innocent party playing a straight bat?
We’ll find out. |  |

No smoke without fire as they say
Why would the EFL Issue charges if there is no evidence? They must have viewed the CCTV evidence,
The club has not denied it!! Are they just trying to ignore it until after the 2 games against Middlesbrough?
If true heads must roll at the highest level, someone must have authorised it | | | |

Unfortunately, it's likely that the person who authorised this is Tonda Eckert. We don't want his head to roll do we | |

There's a possibility that this character did this on his own without anyone knowing. He's in his early 20's so not that experienced, and was hoping to make some insight into the opposition and impress his seniors.
The club could deny all knowledge of case and sanction the individual. | |

No but then again do we want to be forever classed as a club that cheats??
Hopefully the evidence is very weak, and it is found no case to answer!! | | | |

That was my train of thought. Would a 20 year old really be able to add anything that would benefit the club that they don't already know |  |

With the charges coming so quickly? Boro have acted very quickly on this and must have submitted some decent evidence | |

Just check the records. Was he on authorised leave or not? If he was at work then that's pretty damming. Who owned the surveillance equipment and who paid for it? Are there expense records related to similar equipment previously? | | | |

Fair point, and wonder if we have done this previously?
What a sh1t end to the season | |

He's a student at Dery Uni. He's done work experience at Forest and Southampton in the past and currently working on analytics at Villa.
He could be doing this for his own research. It's unlikely the club would use a student to spy for them, assuming they even need a spy. | |

Glad to hear he’s not a soon to be ex-data analyst employed by Saints. | | | |

Maybe. Someone put up a link that said he was a student but there was no date on it, so I don't know if that's out of date and he's now employed by Saints or not.
It seems unlikely that a student living in Derby, or working on analytics at Villa would get hold of some surveillance gear and travel up to Boro to hang around in the bushes. I did some stupid things when I was a student but nothing like that. If he wasn't currently employed by Saints then I think they would have said that in their statement. | | | |

Let’s hope he was actually spying for Villa in the false hope Boro go up next season | | | |

Sounds like could be part of a dissertation then? Well let's hope so | |
