Shocked to find out that different sides of the agreement are pushing for different things and even more shocked to find out that expulsion from knock out competitions for cheating is such an unprecedented punishment…oh wait…it’s common up and down the football pyramid.

Wait until you hear that Southampton were pushing the panel into not expelling Saints and are still doing so today!!!

‘Oh alright Phil, was a bit much really wasn’t it? Have a fine of say £10m and some more points instead. Now let’s quickly check the fixture list for your next game..oh shit…it’s the one that gives you a chance to earn £200m and a way out of this league and your punishment altogether…you better not bloody win it son!’ 🤣🤣

Yes.

It’s incredible to think people on this forum were mocking Boro forums for being delusional and hysterical less than 24 hours ago.

God and everyone else with half a brain knows.

Why did we do it then? For a laugh? This argument has to stop as well 🤣

You also need to stop blaming the lawyers. I don’t really understand your argument about different competitions either. One is a league format so a sporting sanction of points seems reasonable and one is a knock out competition where points are irrelevant so not sure why you’d expect the same punishment necessarily. A few days ago I said on here I thought it would be extreme to expel us but the more you read into it the more it feels logical.

You honestly need to stop pretending/playing dumb that we haven’t deliberately been trying to gain a sporting advantage and that a sporting punishment isn’t suitable. Also he’s not an intern, it doesn’t matter what device he was using and the photo itself isn’t really meaningful either. Doesn’t matter how much you want to play it down.

I think the EFL statement confirmed this yesterday. We accepted multiple breaches.

They were separate charges and presumably punished separately by the points deduction.

I’m sorry but you and others keep pushing at this, what defence did you want him to put forward? They caught an employee in the bushes ffs 🤣

He repeats about 3 times we need to look away from the club/owners and is arguing the exact same things MLT is arguing online and what Saints are telling the press they are going to argue in their appeal. It’s not a bad thing btw (apart from the wally they are using)

Btw watching that Lambert interview on talksport he has 100% been sent out by the club with lines to say.

The club could really do with a clean break from almost all of these tbh.

Being kicked out of a cup competition for trying to gain an advantage by breaking clearly defined rules isn’t the misjustice people seem to be convincing themselves it is really. And I’d really like it personally if we didn’t have to resort to Lambert and now MLT being sent out to bat for us but here we are. Embarrassing/cringe behaviour as I called last week.

Random man on forum says the intricacies that go into a legal decision in a major sporting competition are nonsense and the only thing stopping those being changed is whether the highly qualified people hired to look at it is as intelligent as him is an incredible post btw. Especially in a smug post about right he is. Has the JWP deal be done yet btw?

Don’t mention the media strategy on here.

You did mock it. And again just to be clear this isn’t about who has the best lawyers and if you’re in territory where you are starting to think it might be then you’re being weird.

If you’re angry at the lawyers in this then you’re being weird. Even weirder if you’re mocking their previous work.

Let’s not be weird, shall we?

That’s a hell of a leap to bullying btw 🤣

In fairness I’ve no idea if that’s true and/or what role that would play in this situation. If I read reports that before Tonda and/co sent Salt packing up the motorway they were walking the halls with his packed lunch trying to find somebody to tell them if it’s all legit or not then I’d happily pile in on them. If, as I strongly suspect, this was done slightly quieter than that I might not.

Do you think Tonda is wondering why the analysts can’t just walk into the training ground to get a better view? Why are they spying if its perfectly okay everywhere else?

I appreciate SR are an absolute shit show but don’t really see the relevance on this specific situation. Can’t imagine any of them were aware of it and the only trusted ITK on here confirmed that a few days back.
