Southampton head coach Tonda Eckert has been officially charged by the Football Association following the explosive Spygate scandal that rocked the Championship last season. The 33-year-old manager faces three separate breaches of FA Rule E3.1 surrounding allegations of spying on multiple league opponents.
Wrexham have aimed a dig at Southampton over the 'Spygate' scandal with a brutal social media post following the release of the 2026-27 Championship fixture list. The Red Dragons wasted no time in mocking their upcoming opponents after the Saints were famously expelled from the play-offs last season.
Auxerre have officially confirmed the appointment of Will Still as their new head coach, bringing the highly-rated tactician back to French football. The 33-year-old has signed a two-year contract as he looks to rebuild his reputation following a challenging period in England.
Southampton have completed the permanent signing of goalkeeper Daniel Peretz from Bayern Munich on a four-year contract for a reported £6 million fee. The Israeli international enjoyed a successful loan spell on the south coast last season, playing an instrumental role in securing a Championship play-off position before the club’s subsequent disqualification.
Southampton's dramatic fall from the Championship play-offs has been further illuminated by the release of damning evidence regarding their widespread spying operation. Leaked WhatsApp messages have exposed the culture under head coach Tonda Eckert, where junior staff members felt forced to monitor secret training sessions of rival clubs. The saga, which culminated in the Saints being thrown out of the promotion race, continues to haunt St Mary's as the full extent of the "top-down" plan is finally made public.
