Heard Peretz was waiting to see if P&O were remaining sponsor as he loves the 10% deposit option and the booze selection onboard. After their statement today he asked to see a contract ASAP. Good lad.

My hope regarding Tonda not being totally wounded by it is the fact he would want to stay on. I think he could easily get a job on the continent away from the scrutiny, but I would imagine him being the sort of bloke to want to rectify it here.

He's changed his tune from a few years ago. Weirdo. https://x.com/henrywinter/status/1085826180551327744?s=20

One thing I love about that from Dragan is that he’s not trying to pander to the wider football moralist world (Henry Winter and other grandstanding emotional hypocritical journalists who work for phone hackers and nonces) to score a few brownie points.

I assume this is just a statement countering the release of the report, mainly to appease sponsors. I would expect (although this is SR who are fucking awful at PR) a statement with more direction, directed towards the supporters, to come after we've had our initial briefings with these lawyers, and we know more about the future of some players/ our coaches.

A genuinely class player that loved Saints.

I do think there's a plausible route where we internally rectify the situation through our own investigation, and hand out appropriate punishments to individuals involved to show that systemic cheating is not what we accept at our club, whilst also making sure the EFL don't get away with their kangaroo court proceedings.

“Big game tomorrow!”

I get what you mean, he’s a top coach. But are we going to stick with him, and then he gets banned by the FA in a month or two and then we’re stuck without a manager or a plan when the season is starting? We’re still one of the wealthiest teams in the league. We can attract a good manager.

To follow up, I truly believe none of this would've happened if we weren't a parachute payment club. No one would care if it was another team.

He can fuck right off - spunked £50+mil in 2016/17 (how much would that be now?) of these parachute payments on shit players and managers, and that's why they've been shite for so long. Don't be bitter because you're no longer benefitting from the same mechanism, due to your poor decisions.

Like Boro?

I can see it now. Parsons in court, representing Saints as lead counsel, donning a white wig (no one asked him to). “But your honour, I must probe why Southampton Football Club haven’t received a fine for their offence, and only sporting sanctions.” Updated verdict on appeal: - Dismissal: upheld - Points deduction: upheld - Further punishment: £2 million fine.

No statement tonight from Parsons to the fans who’ve been majorly fucked over, but he was so quick to blabber to Gibson and show our entire hand? Get fucked the lot of em

Koeman underachieved with the squad he had.

Tonda Eckhart was part of his staff at Barnsley FWIW.

Not sure I said anywhere that he should be forced. I’m just within my rights to call him for a prick for not wanting to show even an inkling of support to the campaign.

Beautifully worded sugarcoating of homophobia. 👏

I’ve heard we’re getting a yank forward too.

Mateus seems more like Stewart Armstrong than anyone else we currently have on the books.

Broja and Cameron Archer were born in 2001.

Amad Diallo anyone? He’s not on the United website/ squad page.

He’s on trial with the u21s, then. ITK points pls.
