🚨 The League Arbitration Panel's full written reasons on #SaintsFC spying on Oxford United in December: "A few days before Christmas, Oxford sacked their Manager, Gary Rowett, and replaced him with an Interim Manager, Craig Short. Mr Rowett had usually played with a back five. At a Southampton coaching and analyst meeting in preparation for the match, Mr Eckert asked if someone could go to observe the Oxford training session to see how they were lining up and whether a particular player (Cameron Brannagan) was fit to play. "In his statement for the Commission hearing, Mr Eckert said that he did not see any issue in doing this: he said he was surprised to learn, after the Middlesbrough Incident, that observing an opposition team shortly before a match was a breach of the Regulations. "Analyst 1 identified an intern with the Club (the Junior Analyst Intern) to go with the instructions to travel urgently to Oxford and report back on Oxford’s tactical set up and player selection. Analyst 1 accepted in his evidence to the Commission that, although he had not looked at the Regulations, as a result of the disciplinary proceedings brought against Leeds some years before, he was aware that such conduct was a breach of the rules. "In his evidence to the Commission, the Junior Analyst Intern said: “I didn’t really have an option and wasn’t provided an opportunity to say no…. I was an intern and was doing what I was told.”. There was evidence from the Junior Analyst Intern and Analyst 1 that an analyst had lost his job earlier in the season, and there was a concern that they might lose theirs too. They felt pressurised to do the observations that Mr Eckert and the senior coaches wished them to do. "The Junior Analyst Intern duly attended Oxford’s training ground, where he was able to observe from public areas and footpaths. During the course of the training session, he sent updates, photographs and videos to Analyst 1 and Analyst 3 concerning matters such as tactical shape and player selection. "The Club instructed the Junior Analyst Intern to return to observe the Oxford training session the following day, which he did. From his observation, he knew Oxford were going to line up with a back four, not a back five. Analyst 1 said that he prepared a predicted Oxford line up on the basis of the observations made by the Junior Analyst Intern, which he sent to the Junior Analyst Intern and asked him if he was happy with that prediction on what he had seen, to which the Junior Analyst Intern responded: “Yh spot on”. Within five minutes of that message, Analyst 1 sent the same predicted team sheet to Mr Eckert, which included a section entitled “key messages”, which appear to be gleaned from the Junior Analyst Intern’s observations that morning. After that second session, the Junior Analyst Intern had a telephone conversation with Mr Eckert and Analyst 3 when he answered questions about what he had observed, including line up. "Whilst Mr Eckert said that he did not personally view the footage from the training session and maintained that the information obtained had no impact on the match preparation, during the period of observation and following the provision of some information, Analyst 1 messaged the Junior Analyst Intern on WhatsApp: “Try and make out as much as you can please. You legend. Manager loved it.”"
