True but that's someone being banned, rather than being sacked. It reads like we aren't going to sack him on our own terms. It also reads like the club will fight any banning order (probably using Bielsa as precedent, even though there are other cases where bans have happened).

It means no one is getting sacked. Not Parsons, not Tonda. Not the position I was expecting but it's a position.

Today's statement says to me absolutely clearly that Tonda is staying. Let's hope him and the team are fired up to right the wrong by finishing top 2.

Weird statement to me but reads to me like Tonda is staying.

What a dogs dinner that is. I know a little bit about branding/marketing but blimey anyone can see they don't need all that shit. Feels like the product of a small business where no one on the board can agree on anything so for a quiet life they've just done everything. (I guarantee someone important there wanted the anchor logo to be the main club crest but they've bottled it/backed down). All set up for the next Director of Marketing along to rip it all up and make a big play on how they have simplified and streamlined.

Dragan came back to me and suggested Wednesday at half two but I can't do it as I'm at the Chiropractors, then he said Thursday at 5pm but I need to pick up my daughter from dance class, then he says 6pm same day - OK this is clearly a guy who doesn't watch Richard Osman's House of Games. No can do. I've suggested a couple of other times but honestly it's more trouble than its worth pinning this guy down. His priorities are all wrong. No wonder the club is on its arse.

The rules don't mention getting interns to wear eight foot platform boots and to walk around the perimeter fence like a demented Noddy Holder, using the mirrored top hat as a makeshift satellite communication hub back to basecamp. The rules don't mention sitting interns on one end of a giant catapult and then dropping a grand piano at the other end to slingshot them straight into the opposition's pre-match morning briefing. The rules don't mention getting an short, large headed baby faced intern to put on in a romper suit in order to switch places with the manager's child, using tantrum and wailing to persuade the unsuspecting mother to pay an impromptu visit to the training ground "to see Daddy", then once inside the childs buggy is used as a trojan horse to wheel directly into the analysts room. The rules don't mention paying off a rogue tradesman to plaster an intern directly into the cavity wall of the opposition manager's office. The intern is in his safe position of being entirely embedded into the wall except for two eyes and breathing hole. They are able to listen in on all manner of critical confidential conversations using eye brow morse code to report back to his home club. The rules don't mention drafting an intern undercover into the catering division of the opposing club, and using a modified digitalised saveloy as a covert telescope, a 3G banana as a transmitting radio and a satellite controlled cream horn as a listening device.

Which is what?

An incredibly important point still very much missed by a significant part of this forum who still think we are about to be proven innocent of everything because something something something both sides of the story etc

It's going to blow your mind when you find out what the phrase "It's not a kangaroo court" means.

Get help you mentalist.

It's not a kangaroo court if you have already pleaded guilty and co-operated entirely with the investigation. I think some if you people have gone fucking batshit mental about Steve Gibson and it is quite frankly alarming. Please, get help.

Has it kicked off already? Fuck me.

Only because Shipman never went after Steve Gibson's nan. He knew where to draw the line.

Maybe you could stop going on and on about it not being the "crime of the century" when no one anywhere has ever said, or even thought, that it is crime of the century. No one. Ever.

Literally on the front page of the Saints app.

I'm looking forward to the moment certain Saints fans stop acting like a bunch of whining bitches, and man the fuck up. You'll get there x

What the fuck are you talking about?

What the fuck are you talking about?

No he hasn't. He was obsessed with getting Middlesbrough into the play off final. That's it. He doesn't care about us any more.

Personally I think Gibson has zero interest in this whatsoever. People on here can create their own nemesis or bogeyman if you like but Gibson's objective was to get into the play off final. He achieved it. He hasn't got some obsession with getting our manager banned/sacked/whatever. He likely couldn't give a flying fuck.

Why are you pretending this is an ongoing trial or investigation? It's over, it's finished, we admitted guilt. They are "guilty already". What the "accused have to say" was heard and what they said was "yes, we did it". I hope i never get picked for jury service with you, as you'd be formulating the argument to acquit on your bus journey home 2 hours after the accused had already been sent down.

Dragan is in the country but he’s booked a Padel court at Center Parcs Hertfordshire at 4pm and his missus is in a yoga session before dinner so, obviously not the time. Every one on here needs to stop being so selfish and let these people have their holidays.

Not sure which clubs are going to offer James Bree more money than we would.

A lot of nice comments from some genuine Saints legends and Steve De Ridder.
