John Boy Saint

As my Cousin who has close working experience of the EFL - said last night “they can and will do what they want”. As for precedents there was no rule when Leeds got caught, they got a fine, and rule was put in place - which we are alleged to have broken. When Saints were going down the drain in the Championship with not much more than a button in our wallet. Rupert Lowe cited Derby County as an example of a team who had wiggled out of a similar financial position without too harsh a penalty. But due to Derby being clever whatsits the EFL introduced new rules to prevent teams playing fast and loose financially in the same way. Saints obviously didn’t read the whole memo and, tried to be clever dicks - The EFL threw the book at us as an example to others Just have to hope lightening doesn’t strike twice.

As I said earlier his phone is pointing at the person supposedly taking the photo of him, who is approaching from a bloody big open space of grass. The only photo that should exist is one of his backside high tailing it out of there, and not his stupid face.

Take the stone out you plum! 😳🙄

How is he still standing there pointing his camera, in the wrong direction (if the extensive Sky re construction is to be believed) being snapped by a Boro staff member pretty close to, given the clarity, if he were up to no good and you are pointing your camera at someone taking a photo of you, surely you would be on your toes long before they could be anywhere near you for photo like that.

Its owned by the Chairman of Middlesbrough - but if the proverbial were to hit Boro's Football finances, you can bet the Hotel and Golf Course are registered as totally separate entities to protect the whole estate possibly going down the pan through being shown as a club asset.............. But you then never know.

As an aside - I saw my cousin from up north last night, he was heavily involved in trying to keep Bury FC going in their many attempts to stay in existence and ultimately the league. He had left the process before the curtain finally came down on them through exhaustion and nonsense from others hindering rather than helping. He asked if we were going to the match, and I chipped in “what if we aren’t chucked out”, adding that if we were, surely that would be a nightmare on so many levels for the EFL. He said trust me they wouldn’t care, it’s their bat and their ball, and they will do what they want, I have enough experience of dealing with them to know that. Him saying that reminded me of when we were heading to the edge of the abyss and Lowe thought we had pulled off some clever chicanery within the rules and the knife man Malwhinney came on the TV smugly smiling detailing new rules and our 10 point deduction etc

Said to Mrs JBS last night that he’s like Oakley and Davis, no frills, just quietly going about his “housework” in midfield keeping us ticking along.

Gosh

It’s the future

Oops!

Shame really as the whole of Wembley could have been singing “no one likes us and we don’t care” given the recent narrative.

And they played in Orange 😳 Lers just get the job done tomorrow

15 minutes of added time in the end at Spurs and they still couldn’t take advantage of the gift

Not a clue where those came from -pretty sure my flicking back and forth hasn’t missed major surgery on the pitch at WHL
