Yes, I still am! As HK isn’t at Spurs anymore, that’s why I’m saying my username feels out of date haha!

The Beeb are reporting that Southampton's head coach, Tonda Eckert, expressly sanctioned Spygate - oh dear. They also report that junior members of staff were pressured to go along with it.

I expect Southampton will sack Eckert and any other staff involved. I also expect the FA to ban Eckert from football for a while - unlikely to be a permanent ban, but it should be measured in months, possibly years.
