If we'd had a fan on the board none of this would have happened.

In fairness I do argue that here, that's exactly what I'm saying:

You seem you be awfully upset about "the way of the world these days" where cheats get caught and punished. Chin up sweetheart x x

A "knee jerk reaction" to getting kicked out of the richest match in world football and being the lead sports news story in the Uk? Behave yourself.

On every level none of this would have happened without him so it is difficult. Unfortunately it boils down to the catastrophic decision to send someone to watch a team ahead of a knockout tournament. But that comes from the culture that was created that seemed to make spying a normal / needed way of prepping for matches. All on Tonda. What a way to wreck a reputation - his and ours.

Just an update. It is now May 2028 at the earliest before SR can reasonably say they have got us back to where we were when they found us.

Er, never? The only things left to happen is the publication of the full report, plus the bloodletting at the club when we sack Tonda and probably Spors and Parsons and bring in a new management team. Plus we sell a few players to keep the wolf from the door and build a squad good enough to scrape the play offs next season if we can shake off the shame.

If "getting shit done" involves running a professional football club then he hasn't got much shit done in the last 12 years or so.

The players won't want to play for Tonda. And even if they did he's going to get banned by the FA. He will never manage a game for us again 100%.

Tonda will be sacked tomorrow 100%.

Literally put out a statement in the last half hour.

I'm trying buy a Lord Pannick costume to wear in the stands on Saturday. Does anyone know what colour the lining of his gown is usually?

I don't think it is that implausible. The spying seems pretty low level operational. He wouldn't necessarily know about like he wouldn't necessarily know about next week's training drills.

Boro can say they think they were cheated out of the same £200m and that's the end of that.

We all knew where we were with Rueben Selles.

"The one we REALLY need inside intel on lads is Oxford United"

Let's pick up again when the FA take that mitigation and definitely don't ban him.

The analogy is bullshit. He should know and I will say he did know.

Sorry at the moment I am busy having a wank in the Horticulture section of the British Library which i understand to be fine because no one has ever told me otherwise. I'll reply to you when I have washed my hands.

Sorry no one ever one told me is was wrong to rant on a football forum

Jesus wept. The man is a fully grown adult, and a highly paid top level football professional. Just fuck off with the "wah wah nobody told me it was wrong" bullshit.

It takes some doing that SR have turned the best manager they have appointed into the worst manager in our history in just six months. Fucking bravo lads.

He's going to be banned from football. It's not a choice we're going to make, it's happening anyway. He 100% will never manage us again.

Losing a match vs being removed from even contesting that match are not "the same outcome".

This kind of spying is part of in-week match prep. That's not Spors, that's Tonda. Spors could plausibly be saying he never even knew it was happening. Spors would not need to be close to pre-match "prep" just like he doesn't need to be close to the daily training drills or the layout of the cones. He might end up carrying the can, because he is the sporting director but that's not quite the same. I dont think we'll see Tonda again.
