Did they ask Rishi Sunak to write that statement? True Polictian's reply.

Am in New York a week after the final, so am lucky am missing most of it. Although it would have been fun to see what the atmosphere would have been like.

Guess the truth will all be revealed in the coming weeks

Judging by the posts from Scienza and Pertez not sure they knew too much about what was going on. I agree that the punishment was harsh but the fallout from this is going to rumble on

Let's also not forget that Bielsa was adored by the media too. It was even laughed off to a degree

Wasn't that what formed the basis of the EFL allegations? That staff felt bullied and pressured into spying?

I believe that when I see it to be honest. Obviously we aren't privy to the behind the scenes stuff, but I'll be amazed if the players are OK with the situation

Not sure you can really compare the two to be fair. Eckert is the manager and leader of the team, if it turns out he was sanctioning the spying then I really don’t see how he can stay. Especially if it also is proved that he was systematically bullying people to be involved.

You are presuming he will still be here?

Surely if the financials involved are true and Eckert effectively cost us promotion, why would the club want to keep him if it results in the club having to sell the crown jewels

I'd rather we lose Charles than Jander to be honest. Although like most here fear the both will be off.

Couple of Boro fans in the pub earlier watching the game. Really wished I had stayed now to wish them luck for next season

All but accepted it now. Anger subsided, although I'm sure that will resurface come kick off. Most of all I'm disappointed for my son, he was really looking forward to the day after getting his first taste of Wembley last month. Biggest emotion is still feeling let down by the club that I've supported for 40+years.

Do you also believe in Father Christmas?

We should keep well away from any "spying" missions in the future, clubs will be out to get us.

Could all be academic anyway, we don't seen to have much of an appetite to sack Eckert

Another Hampshire masterclass unfolding

We've been linked before. Wouldn't touch him with a barge pole, but SR on the other hand

But we would have to sack him once he got us promoted though

Agreed

Liam Rosenior must be on their list

I The only strategy is to do nothing and treat the fans with utter contempt as they always do.

Leadership at every level is severely lacking with us.

It's almost like they think by not saying anything this will all just disappear and be forgotten about in a few weeks. Nobody at the club seems to be able to make or want to make decisions.

What a fuckin twat. Ultimately they got what they wanted. Now they just need to fuck off and keep fuckin off
