Keeping two of those 4 would be a major coup.

Very sorry to hear that. RIP.

Why do people still people still feel the need to put the boot into Bazunu? Get over it, he’s unlikely to ever play for us again.

With respect, you’re missing the point - they were asked to do something that they felt uncomfortable with because it felt wrong (and was wrong, per EFL rules). That is entirely different from being pressured to deliver a legitimate piece of work by your boss. There was documented evidence of WhatsApp messages exerting pressure to do this, despite their reticence, which is why the judge described it as ‘deplorable’.

Agree, he’s a decent lad and I like his enthusiasm. Works really hard at his content, and you can’t fault his commitment. Love hearing from his Dad, always talks so much sense.

🙏🙏🙏

Just can’t see him playing under Tonda. At all. Maybe Derby will make a cheeky bid?

No it isn’t. You wouldn’t gain anything from taking still pictures of a business meeting. Bugging a meeting would be a better comparison.

🎯 Not to mention the pressure exerted on junior staff. This is academic anyway, a 12-18 month ban is coming his way I suspect.

Why would you think that?

It’s not just about ‘breaking a stupid rule’ - though that in itself is enough of a reason to get rid - we’d be actively standing by someone who has gone out of their way to bully subordinates into doing something that was wrong, and they didn’t want to do (and were vocal about not wanting to do). The ‘deplorable’ behaviour the judge referenced, and he was right. I don’t believe in cancelling people for mistakes, and I hope Tonda’s career can survive this, but it would take something very significant from him and the club to convince me his position is tenable. As it happens I suspect the decision will be taken out of the clubs hands by a lengthy FA ban.

12-18 months I reckon.
