‘It’s unfair, they saw everything’, says Boro manager
Southampton’s Eckert walks out after questioning
Southampton’s manager, Tonda Eckert, walked out of the post-match press conference at Middlesbrough on Saturday after repeatedly refusing to answer questions about allegations that one of his analysts had spied on Kim Hellberg’s training session last Thursday.
Shortly afterwards Hellberg said his Middlesbrough team were victims of “cheating” in the lead-up to this vital Championship playoff semi-final first leg.
A clearly uncomfortable, distinctly unhappy looking Eckert is now preparing for not merely Tuesday’s second leg against Hellberg’s Middlesbrough but an English Football League disciplinary commission.
