As someone who’s been in the profession for 25 years I entirely agree. I don’t understand a single thing that the club has done since the news first broke the day before the away leg.
I have to say that I thought the relative silence last week was strategic and reflective of us having a measure of control of events in the background. That was giving the club way too much credit. So now I think it’s simply because they have no idea what to do or say about anything.
Still in shock about what we’ve learned these last two weeks tbh. I mean, how can there be literally zero hipster coffee shops in the whole of Middlesbrough? Damning indictment.
Right, this is good because now can we all finally agree that every single thing that boro fans, their tinpot club, the print media and every “pundit” with a criminal record have said on this whole sorry saga is just made up.
Is there though? Admissible evidence? Or actually does that open a whole can of worms into what we all really know which is that every club in the league has stuff like this going on, such that if it’s systemic with us, then it’s systemic generally.
99% of everything that has been said on this is absolute nonsense. Clubs going back over 6 months of training ground cctv? Doesn’t sound very likely does it. I wouldn’t pay attention to anything put out by any media outlet prior to the hearing. There is no prospect that they have any credible source. It’s all sensationalist speculation based on the extreme sanctions that are technically available under the letter of the regulations.
