Couple of very obvious holes in Southampton and Eckert's latest feeble claims: • If Eckert didn't know he was breaking rules, why the rush to cover up after being rumbled at #Boro? • & if he's so adamant no sporting advantage was gained, why did he keep sanctioning the spying?

An apology from Tonda Eckert but with it more excuses. And no mention of pressuring junior staff. Remarkably, Eckert set to keep his job. Even by Southampton standards of last few weeks, Dragan Solak's interviews are staggering. Full story 👇 | #Boro www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/sport/261578...
