Negligence giving rise to a breach. I think the club have been negligent here.

I know what you mean. It all feels a bit grubby. Imagine if we were reinstated and won it. Every bit of success for years to come would be portrayed as grubby and achieved as a result of cheating. I’ve very much come round to the clean slate mentality. To do that however everyone involved in the cheating must go. No one can be left.

There is a chance and I put it no higher than that, that the appeal or a high court action could be successful here on a technicality. Looking at the EFL rules this morning they have not followed due process. I am hoping (kind of) that the club protested against the lack of 14 days to respond and our response and submissions were filed under protest reserving all rights. Knowing this club and hearing what Parsons allegedly confessed to, the club have very probably fucked this up as well. in any event, who wants to go up because of a technicality. We cheated. End of. It was systemic (only 3 matches - my arse - Tonda thought it was ok so probably every club we played against where we could get acccess). We now have to take this on the chin. Every single person in the club who knew about this and willingly took part needs to be sacked. Players who want to leave should be sold asap and the rebuild starts on Monday. My great fear is that we will dilly and dally and we start next season with poison still in the club. If you offered me lower mid table next year I’d snap your hand off.

On the basis that Tonda says he didn’t know the rules, it’s as sure as shit that this is not limited to Oxford, Ipswich and Boro. If he thought it was ok then we did this to every club we played against. Even Arsenal. Why wouldn’t we? It was ok to do.

Absolutely. If true, you don’t cough that easily.

I find it extraordinary that some alleged Saints fans are turning on others here who had been optimistic about the outcome here and trying to bash them up for it or playing the smart arse. There were things that none of us knew and the club has badly let the fans down. We couldn’t have predicted this. I didn’t see it coming or what the club had been up to. I thought the best of them - what an error that was. But the fans need to stick together. We’ve got really rocky times ahead and we are always the constant. Owners, players and managers come and go. We don’t. Time for us to all unite. Anyway, thinking ahead, Sean Dyche anyone?

Spot on Turkish

I think we’ll get the 4 points back but hey what do I know. Saying that, none of us knew the two other incidents with Oxford and Ipswich. That’s what shafted us. There have to be more and I suspect the panel thought the same.

You didn’t know anything you charlatan. You guessed and got lucky. Even a fucked clock tells the right time twice a day. Get back in the hole you crept out of.

This is a shocker. Everyone connected with the cheating needs to be sacked. Get them out. We’re going to be sued by Wrexham and god knows who else. Wrexham have a very good shout on this. We should never have been in the playoffs based on this decision. Amazing that the extra charges levied on Sunday never got out.

Never saw that coming in a million years. We need to hear the full reasoning for it now.

Appeal filed immediately I assume unless of course we’ve put our hands up to everything

It’s going to Court

Haha. Nothing to stop them going to Wembley. They can go and see Beyoncé.

Bastard.

I am. I’m desperate for good news. Shame on me.

Just read it again. More than a little. So a lot. A lot less than too much. Too Much would be expulsion. A lot less is an average fine and suspended points.

That would sound about right

What does that mean? Almost too much but not quite?

Says the spanner who told us that the hearing was last Thursday. Skate.

I’m going to Wembley on Saturday now whatever happens. Let my red flares off down Wembley Way on my own if I have to.

Well 5pm has been and gone

That was me. It is noticeable over the past few days that they’ve been much quieter as a club. I suspect their legal team told them to pipe down.

We’ll hurt their pockets even more should they stupidly remove us from the playoffs. Hit them so hard that they well put them out of business.

Agree - we’ve apparently sold nearly 38k tickets as well. Good effort Saints fans.
