From the end of the same article:
"It's thought Berahino's shock inclusion came about after Tony Pulis' original line-up was leaked to Everton by spies who had watched Albion's final training session in Liverpool the previous day."
Is spying on the opposition not a form of cheating worthy of a ban?

No because the big boys were spying on the smaller boys .... so that does not count. But if it was the other way around, if we spied on Everton then we would get relegated to league two, heinous office by the little upstarts......

The establishment can do what they want when they want ..... quote from the film working girl ....when your at the top you can make and break the rules, for the rest, you can not get to the top unless you break the rules. Not an exact quote but the general idea.
