THE Southampton spy who has caused the club to be removed from Championship play-offs was actually a Middlesbrough double agent.
Oliver O’Connor was ostensibly caught recording a Boro training session, prompting the FA to replace Southampton with Boro in the Championship play-off final and O’Connor to radio ‘mission accomplished’ back to base.
He said: “Come on. I was ‘hiding between a tree and some bushes’? How shit a spy do you think I am?
“The whole plan was to get caught, admit it, and boost Middlesbrough into a play-off final they could never have reached by fair means. False flags aren’t just for incidents of white men doing terrorism!
“Southampton had no idea I’d been turned by their rivals, but Boro could offer me inducements no South coast club ever could. Cheap oil and a lifetime’s supply of parmos.
“Job done. Southampton ruined. Middlesbrough now only have Hull City to beat and they’re in the Premier League. No way will they do it.”
Southampton manager Tonda Eckert said: “This should secure us at least another two seasons in the Championship, thank Christ. We’d get the shit kicked out of us in the Premier League.”
