- An independent FA commission imposed a six-week ban from all football activity but suspended it until the end of next season.
- Eckert received a £28,000 fine and reprimand; involvement in further spying before the end of next season would trigger the ban.
- Southampton were expelled from the Championship play-offs in May and given a four-point deduction this season after admitting the spying.
- Southampton welcomed the ruling, while owner Dragan Solak said the suspended sentence allows Eckert to remain in charge.
I firmly believe that Tonda is one of Europe's most exciting young coaches, and with this distraction removed, I am confident he can lead the team to a successful season.— Dragan Solak, Saints owner, said in a statement about Eckert's situation and the manager's future.
