Overblown media campaign sure but it was in lead up to a pretty big game so hardly a shock. Nor was the punishment given teams being kicked out of cup competitions for breaking cup competition rules which is reasonably in line with quite a lot of football up and down the country especially given the time frame involved. I do think people are massively overreacting to this whole thing which is a pretty cut and dry case of breaking rules and being punished for them and now waiting for the individual punishment to be handed out ( which Saints have known about since last week but that pesky Chelsea case is still in the way I assume)

True but if there’s a signing to replace Charles I think I’d be eyeing up elsewhere if I was one of those kids in the CM positions.

I’m not sure luring kids into long contracts as 5th option in positions is a particular good luck for a club that insists there is a pathway.

This whole every other club does it theory is perfectly fine but does actually seem to lack any evidence of it actually happening other than assumptions and hearsay. It also doesn’t disregard the fact that we did it, got caught, admitted it and even have someone at the top saying they didn’t know we couldn’t do it which is a terrible look for more than one reason and goes against any kind of stitch up argument.

So someone grassed on us doing something bad when they found out about it? Still not seeing anything to be outraged about tbh. This whole thing has made people lose their minds just because the allegiance to the club 😂

Different positions but if Robinson isn’t being given a crack this season I would be surprised if this kid is.

I’m not even sure what you’re suggesting tbh. Are you saying the Saints staff didn’t organise to do the spying at their own free will?

Have you offered your expertise to the club on how to sell these guys yet?

Think he was ‘unlucky’ not score a couple last season in fairness. Missed some good chances. Dont think we were worlds away from him scoring a couple and Charles having some speculative efforts flying over the bar. But his best asset going forward is his ability to win the ball back in high places. Starting attacks high up the pitch.

Just a reminder that all of these (bar Downs) have probably been available for sale for at least a year. We’ll recoup that £25 million plus any minute now I’m sure.

Acting like catching someone for doing something is some big conspiracy 😂

I see Blackmore is briefing that BBD will be given a chance to stay now that Robinson is going.

We’ve got a perfectly reasonable squad as is and only really need to react to any unwanted outgoings. What do you want us to do? Phillips? Which of our 4 CB’s is he replacing? A striker would be nice but this idea that us being content with our squad is ‘slowing down’ is silly. But hey, winning the window is what it’s really about nowadays. Well done Boro.

What was this rumour and why is it bad if a player was angry? This place would be full of people who are leaving if that was the case.

Could have really done with an arguement like that in the office before Tonda did said manipulating really.
