I’m with you SUN

Great find

He was once described as having a brain the size of a planet. And not Uranus before some wise crack chips in.

Lord Pannick KC. Fucking wow. We have gone right to the very top, I’m buoyed by that. He is the best of the best.

Lot of snobbery around this. I always add cream and garlic and my lot prefer it that way to the classic Italian recipe which you’ve given. Got more body.

Garlic?

Let’s pretend we are reinstated. How do the players now look at Tonda? Do they no longer respect him, treat him with mild suspicion or not give a shit and hang on every word because their bonuses are at stake?

Didn’t know Gordo was dead. Too much carbonara.

I think you will be proved to be right unfortunately.

So can we run this argument. The play offs are deemed a separate competition to the main season. The rules that we’ve breached don’t apply to the play offs and therefore there is no rule stopping us doing what we did on Boro. There is no strong evidence that we spied on Ipswich or Oxford in the 72 hours prior to the games.

I can make an exception or 10 in this case

If we have to go let’s take as many with us as possible. Let’s see how quickly the EFL deal with that.

Angry ex-employees - that’s what’s in it for them. Amazing how disgruntled ex-employees are prepared to do anything. I see it regularly. Especially if the EFL offered a reward with it.

But they have a duty to find out if it is.

If the EFL were serious about stopping this and dealing with the problem now they should be offering rewards to whistleblowers to come forward so that they can understand the extent of the problem. Software companies do this to stop piracy.

I have a feeling that this could be the next big chapter in this story - other clubs unveiled. There must be a high potential for other whistleblowers to come forward across the country who have information on their former employers and what they got up to. Absolutely no way are we the only club involved in this kind of act.

My guess is that the disproportionate point along with procedural unfairness i.e. the 14 days and then 24 hours for the appeal will form the basis for the appeal

Just pulling together my claim against the club should the appeal fail. One element relates to betting. I have a 6 fold acca I did a couple of weeks back which if it comes off will net me £700’ish. Arsenal to win the title, City to win the FACup, Villa to win the Europa, Palace the Conference, PSG the Champions League and Saints the Play Offs. If Saints don’t get back in my bet is fucked. If the others come in, should I sue Saints for a lost opportunity? I cannot be the only one with an open bet that includes Saints.

Can’t believe we haven’t sacked him yet today. Mentioned earlier how this would potentially help with an appeal.

Yes yes yes but we football fans are all the same just wearing different shirts. This could have been Preston and West Brom instead and the fans and what was said would have been no different. We’re all a bit weird.

I understand that argument more than just letting Boro through

Not going to go like that Sockeye. They’re going to reinstate us later today. The final will be brought forward to 7.30am on Saturday morning. Later this afternoon before the appeal result has been announced Peretz, Charles, THB, Azaz, Scienza and Ross will all have jumped ship and joined Coventry. And Tonda will have been sacked. Bazunu is back in goal, kids are brought in along with Romeu and Lallana and the crowning turd in the pipe is Russell Martin will be back in charge with Nathan Jones as his deputy. Then you can mourn.

Yep - we’re in a legal process. They don’t want to accidentally say something that might be misconstrued and used against us. That’s distinctly possible when you realise how incompetent the club is at a senior level.

I believe the EFL said at some point it was these guys. As I said above, I don’t believe the panel members from yesterday have been announced. I slightly assumed that the Chair would have been chairing the panel yesterday but he could be doing the appeal for all I know.

Here what you say but my counter to that would be that this was too important a decision not to follow due process. They’re trying to lay a precedent. Make sure everything is done to the letter.
