Onto 4pm we go...

Whatever the ruling is (I suspect we're going to hear at 2pm or later this afternoon), it will be interesting to read the written reasons and finally get some closure on this whole saga, one way or the other

People's memory and accurate recollection of events fades over time, is the argument

Wish he’d refused to play for us

Alfie House's write up today says: There is concern that a ban from all football activity for three or more months is on the table, and none of the noise surrounding the case is positive. If that sanction were ordered, Saints would appeal. Owner Dragan Solak has already indicated his belief that such a punishment would be unfair. The club expect that, during an appeal process, which would be made public by the FA, Eckert could continue to manage, but this is also not guaranteed. The FA panel can issue an indefinite suspension that would rule Eckert out while the case was ongoing, and there is no precedent for this kind of case. The stakes are high for Eckert, as the FA could also apply to FIFA for any ban to be applied internationally, and this request is usually accepted.

Can’t stand the bloke He’s so self-indulgent, the sort of guy down the pub who tells his joke a second and third time at the bar in a louder voice each time to make sure to get the courtesy laughs in from the lads. The way he sits there and tries to hold court in his press conferences makes me cringe. He’s a try hard. He also seems to be busy trying to become a social media influencer at the moment I know a couple who have worked with him and by the end of his time at Burnley he was more interested in flogging collectors watches to his players than trying to find tactical solutions or mixing up the training sessions Oh and his football is shit too, there’s also that

Fuck no
