Tonda Eckert risks extended suspension if Southampton is deemed guilty in Spygate affair

The Saints face charges for violating rule 127 which makes it illegal to watch another teams training 72 hours prior to a match against them.

Authorities in football are reviewing the Southampton case after trainee analyst William Salt was seen recording Boros training just 48 hours ahead of the opening game in their Championship playoff semifinal.

An inquiry aims to find out if higher ups ordered urged or joined in espionage activities and per The Times Eckert may receive comparable sanctions as Bev Priestman.

Two years prior the Canadian ladies head coach received a one year football ban following an espionage incident during the Paris Olympics.

Therefore Eckert may encounter a sport ban should accusations stand with Southampton probably facing point reductions no matter their league standing.
