Southampton are refusing to lie down after the 'Spygate' scandal - with bullish chairman Dragan Solak suggesting a bright summer ahead for the disgraced club. The Saints were expelled from the Championship play-off final after being caught cheating when an intern was found spying on Middlesbrough's training before their semi-final. The incident has led to head coach Tonda Eckert, who continues to be backed by Solak, being investigated by the FA and likely to receive a lengthy ban. Speculation has also increased over the future of stars like Taylor Harwood-Bellis and Leo Scienza. However, after the permanent signings of Daniel Peretz from Bayern Munich and Cyle Larin from RCD Mallorca respectively, is there new-found hope on the South Coast? 'Our goal for the window is not to make money, it's to make at least the same quality team, if not a better quality team for next season,' Solak told BBC Radio Solent. 'I hope that in the next couple of days we'll have more to show that very early in the window, even before the window, that we mean serious business.'
