Why its perfectly reasonable for Southampton to be deducted 3,128 points.

The Canadian Womens Olympic Football team were deducted 6 points from a 3 game table. 66% of the maximum points the team could potentially get.

Therefore we can conclude that an equivalent penalty for Southampton would be 66% of the Championships maximum points. 46 games x 3 points = 138 maximum, 66% of which is 92 points.

Now if we make the reasonable assumption that the cheating started with the new manager, it took place for 33 league games and a play off game, which means applying the penalty 34 times.

34 x 92 = 3,128 point deduction.

But I am not a vindictive man and do not intend to apply for the death penalty, so I think we can round it down to a 3000 point deduction.

However, a points deduction was not the only punishment, Canada Soccer was fined 200,000 Swiss Francs, with the multiplier applied this means 6.8 million Swiss Francs. So Southampton should be fined £6,431,938.58

Additionally, all the co-conspirators were banned from football for 1 year, this should be quick maths, even for people from Southampton. 34 year football bans for all involved.

Finally, the spy resigned and was given an eight month suspended prison sentence, again this should be multiplied by 34 for a 272 month, or 22 year and 8 months suspended sentence. He will also need to resign 34 times.
