Kenilworthy1959

I was also thinking that he might go back to Scotland. However, he has got himself to the verge of playing at the very top level and has actually scored in the PL. Going to Hearts at his age would end that dream.

I wouldn't have thought he was in that strong a position to bargain since he felt something in his knee this week that stopped him playing fro Scotland

I say no. Because we would almost certainly get something horrible. However it does feel that there is a certain inevitability about a change because marketing people love rebranding, not least for the outrageous fees they get.

I get to speak to a lot of fans of other clubs through work. Not one of them believes the punishment was fair. As a member of the public I could have been walking around outside Boro's training ground at any time and taking photographs yet no offence would have been committed. But the same thing done by a Saints employee results in the harshest of penalties. That is how mad it is

Although wasn't Wise let go for disciplinary reasons?

As a season ticket holder since 1969 its not in doubt. That is of course part of the problem...

I don't disagree with people who want stripes front and back. But when the red panel is filled with the name and number plus I guess a back of the shirt sponsor the effect will not be so bad

Karren Brady " a world class team in a world class stadium". Resigned shamefully a few weeks back to avoid being on the board come relegation. It was clear when they couldn't beat us a year ago that they were a dreadful side. Feel sorry for KWP - that is three relegations in four seasons.

Its not even the 40th anniversary like SKY keep going on about. The first of the new era playoffs took place at the end of the 1986/87 season. The 40th anniversary will be next year

One thing I was wondering about Tonda was if his incredible run would extend to another season? We have seen it before. Dowie took Palace from the edge of relegation to winning the playoffs, and was then garbage afterwards. I thought perhaps Tonda might have continued to be good, but now we will never know.

Leaving aside the downside with Tonda, we played some very exciting, attacking football under him. The likes of Dyche would be a step backwards.

Hull should really go all out now saying its not fair. So they will have prepared the ground for legal action should they lose.

What isn't clear to me - did the spying start when Tonda took over or was it already happening?

If we want some hope look at Hull who we should be playing. They have got there with a transfer ban

While I don't condone the spying I still don't really understand what influence it had on how we played. What I saw from January onwards was just good players playing really well. The only thing I can think of is that in some games we took the unusual choice of leaving two players up when defending corners.
