Really makes you realise that although he’s been a bit of a twat, he’s 100% our twat. Really fucking hope he and the squad can channel this into tearing the championship apart next year.

100%

I worked there for 15 years and if anyone at CC has signed that off then standards have gone downhill hard 😅

Im very confused why you’d appoint Clifford Chance and then put out a statement like that without running it past them, which they clearly haven’t.

Try putting that question to Bristol rovers fans and see what response you get

Love this

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.

You don’t hire lord pannick for the afternoon… this is never going to end is it 🤦‍♂️

Confirmed

Hardly even makes sense. Ridiculous

The “working group” thing translated = everyone knows that this stuff goes on all the time

Statement out

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.

I don’t buy this at all

We’ve not been charged in relation to any accusations by other clubs so that is outside of the purview of the hearing

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.

Ha one of my former colleagues. Maybe time to reconnect…

It will. From a proper process perspective the way Boro have behaved is appalling and that will be taken into account in all of this.

We’re not getting kicked out the play off final The date of the game isn’t being moved We’re not getting a points deduction (absolute worst case scenario is a suspended point deduction which would kick in if we got caught doing this again) everything in the media is being entirely fabricated or leaked by Boro in a desperate and contemptuous attempt to keep the pressure on everybody else. Their hot shot lawyer didn’t tell anyone they’d instructed him that’s for sure It’s all just irrelevant noise and it’s getting more and more pathetic

I think jander has the potential to be the best central midfielder we’ve had in the St Marys era. And yes, I am even including Paul Wotton.

We could, or we could get over it and never give those sad whiny freaks or their repugnant Teeside industrial estate a second thought, ever again

Well that’s a bit of a curve ball but no need to bang on about it
