Spying Scandal Is Still Haunting Southampton as Reynolds and Wrexham Continue the Pile-On
Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac used a video and match post to mock Southampton’s spying scandal, which cost the club a playoff place and a four-point penalty.
- Ahead of Saturday's match in England's second-tier Championship, Wrexham co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac released a video mocking Southampton over last season's unauthorized filming scandal.
- Southampton was expelled from last season's promotion playoffs and received a four-point deduction after admitting to unauthorized filming of opponents' practice sessions; the Football Association charged manager Tonda Eckert with bringing the game into disrepute.
- The video references a Southampton intern caught filming a Middlesbrough training session from behind a tree, which sparked the investigation. Wrexham also posted match details with a spy emoji and a reminder to "Check Training Ground."
- Southampton's opponents continue to taunt the club, with Watford and Bristol City fans singing about the scandal during matches; Watford's mascot mimicked using binoculars behind goalposts.
- Despite the ongoing mockery and point deduction, Southampton sits in ninth place in the Championship standings after winning four of its last six games, pursuing another run to the playoffs or automatic promotion to the Premier League.
