    I've voted for Lampard to get a kicking but would like to clarify that it's not for **** stirring but having a ****y uncle and knocking us out the cup <grr>

    Since @ellandback asked nicely on our board I will give my answer - I say touchline ban because ultimately it is the FA's fault for not having the rule in place but still need to dish out a token slap on the wrist.

    Also it will be hilarious to see him sat on top of a bucket just behind the dugout and it making no impact whatsoever.

    Bit of a stupid question to ask on here surely. How can we be punished for spectating or is it not a free country:emoticon-0138-think

    Judging by how much it costs to watch football this no it isn't.

    Maybe that is the fine that you should pay - the price of one match day ticket to each club per spy...

    Nothing whatsoever should happen. Get rid of all these whingers and go back to letting us stand at the fences watching our team train. Used to love watching the great Leeds United side train on Fullerton Park.

    Not bothered, it’s a story about nothing but a man doing his job and gathering intel.

    Most of the intelligence he’s gathering is probably via watching games on DVD, man must be a workaholic. Pity our board when they went and interviewed him a few years ago didn’t employ him, if he had we would probably still be a PL club. The man had a dossier ready after watching our previous seasons games outlined strength and weeknesses plus where we needed to strengthen.

    Leeds have a good manager there, will you be able to hold onto him? I can see him taking you up automatically to the PL and good luck other than when we visit Elland Road.

    I did find the image of his laptop very interesting with a desktop folder on it labelled 20 Dan James, Swansea. so it’s 25m before we start negotiating. In all honesty the lads a very good player and in his first year of being in the first team set up, needs to learn his trade before a big move. But I bet our greedy Yankee bastards who’s sole ambition is to strip the club bare, then you can guarantee they will sell him for what they can get for him.

    Done **** all wrong has he? Isn’t sport about using anything in your power to benefit your team, and with no rule in place that’s all he’s done.

    They will hastily introduce a rule but they can’t do **** all in advance, surely?

    I actually love the fact that he didn’t give a flying ****. ‘Stick it up your arse’.

    Some boy.

    He's already managing Leeds. Isn't that punishment enough?

    Seriously though, he's not broken any rules and I assumed that everyone already did this.
    With the amount of money sloshing around in the Premier League, does anyone really believe that this is isolated to Bielsa?
    I expect that they're all at it.

    It seems that Bielsa needs to chose his staff more carefully - if the person concerned hadn't been stupid enough to get caught, there wouldn't be a story. Have that person trained as a referee and then have him assigned to matches with youngsters - the abuse he'll get from over-competitive parents would be enough punishment.

    Even when they do ban a spy standing outside the ground, teams will find other methods, just like other industries.

    Drone. Double agents. ( isn't that why a team sells players).

    My vote is conditional.
    If no rules have been broken then no action should be taken.
    If rules HAVE been broken then a points deduction (typically 10-15 points) and a fine are the usual punishment - or banning promotion (like SWINDON in the 1990s).
