Imagine the fury is the FA inquiry comes back with a “meh, no issue from us”

His biggest crime was systematically break the rules.

They loved him because we were winning most games, they would love Harry Redknapp for the exact same thing now they have found out that the winning came at a price

not just about breaking the rules, it is the systemic will to go about doing it, and the apparent 'pressure' applied to those who raised that flag and suggested this is wrong.

12 month ago today....

I look forward to our appeal for potential losses on the grounds that the club feel that particular rule/law that we have admitted to breaching multiple times, is "ridiculous" Or, the line that we must keep Tonda because the indiscretion was centred around a 'ridiculous' law/rule, and that any junior member of staff moaning about it at the time or since, are also "ridiculous" Can see it falling into place any day now.

Just saying, lots of laws and rules are ridiculous. Maybe we should have publicly protested as such earlier on in the season.

does not matter if it ridiculous. Lots of rules and laws are ridiculous, like eating cake and losing your job, but you know....

Well it is. What happens in the Premier League is neither here nor there regarding the rules of the game we agreed/signed up to. That is why we are taking it on the chin, that is why we appealed and little/nothing was said that it is fine to do so in another competition. That is why, despite a few on here saying we would, have not 'gone legal' on it.

No idea why it isn’t and irrelevant

we dont need THB, we bought that lad from the French Club #MultiClubModel Obviously, next season our bench is going to be much weaker. Gone will be the days we call on Charles to come in and rescue something

Tonda has been specifically named that he “pressured” junior members of staff to break the rules, even when they tried to push back. I know we live in a soft as shit era where telling someone what to do can be spun as being bullied, but the “lads” tried to say they were not comfortable doing it and Tonda, a senior person, told them to not only get on with but cheat better. The silence from the club is no ineptitude, there is a sizeable effort to mitigate the shit out of the 2nd half of the season as we run the risk of wishing we went into administration from a negative points PoV. We have been prolific with this, largely driven by Tonda.

Back 4, give Peretz and Larin plus spying every other week. Will Still would have loved that

Any idiot could see we needed to ditch 3 at the back. The results did not change much with To da whilst he was persisting with that

Any competent manager would have had our squad in the mix for promotion

Lawsuit incoming

Depends on what the FA investigation earths up.

the 6 points (reduced to 4) was for proven and accepted guilt with spying against Oxford and Ipswich. There is nearly 5 months between those games. Huge problem potentially coming over the hill, hence why everything has gone quiet.

The lad is quoted in not wanting to break the rules. Tonda told him to get shit done. No one is denying this. There is more to come, you watch

If it happened, it is tragically hilarious....ie - "yeah, we'll pay the fine"

Hoping for a Spurs meltdown

True, but their silence (if it is intentional) is telling. Our statement, if any, should include this demand, but then there is no doubt lots of shuffling the decks going on as this has probably been prolific in 2026

And now Boro failed (for the 3rd time) to gain promotion, to what end was this worth it? It wont be long before he is spat out up there anyway.

We could start the season on a points total that beat going into Administration.
