Southampton manager Tonda Eckert has been given a six-week suspended ban and fined £28,000 for his role in the Spygate scandal. The ban will only be served if Eckert is found to have spied on another team before the end of the 2027-28 season. The FA had initially proposed a three-month ban, but the independent commission credited Eckert's genuine contrition. Southampton owner Dragan Solak welcomed the decision, stating that the club had already suffered enough.
