Stockport County Manager Phil Parsons has stated that the club has received sufficient punishment for the "spygate" scandal.
The controversial case is nearing resolution, with hearings into three charges against Stockport manager Tonev Eckert for breaching the FA's rules on unauthorized filming set to take place this week.
Eckert was charged in July following reports that Stockport had secretly filmed three opponents, including Championship playoff rivals Middlesbrough, last season.
Stockport was subsequently expelled from the playoffs and forfeited the opportunity to earn £200 million in Premier League promotion revenue. The club also received a four-point deduction for the 2026/27 season.
Eckert faces additional potential sanctions, including a possible ban. Speaking to the BBC, Parsons said the club has endured sufficient consequences in recent months.
When asked how he views the punishment for the spygate scandal, Parsons said: "As a club, I hope they genuinely see our current situation and everything we've been through. Because I believe all of that needs to be taken into consideration."
"I genuinely feel we've suffered enough. We've been hurt. I think this is one of the harshest punishments in football history. Even in sports history."
"It's not just about one club—it affects people too. We've lost money from not being in the Premier League, and businesses will lose money. We'll spend enormous amounts on legal fees, which impacts the club further."
"We don't want to be seen as victims in this matter. We have to move forward. The misfortune has already reached us."
