He's never going to side with the EFL, on anything. He hates them.

If they really want to get the fan base fully back inside they need to make some big statements through actions now, Stewart and Bree extended, Larin and Peretz signed.

It's interesting you mention that the knife used wasn't a ceremonial one, I didn't realise that at all. Think that needs to be made clearer in reporting.

The bodycam footage is so horrible to watch. You can hear the poor lads voice gurgling as he tries to ask for help whilst drowning in his own blood, and the officer literally responds with "I don't think you have mate" when he says that he's been stabbed.

Who else would that title be referring to?

Yeah, utterly ridiculous defence of "well the videos were poor quality so I couldn't get much benefit out of them". Fucking hell. Also, the operations manager (Spors I guess that refers to?) is bang to rights - he booked the flights and hotel for Will Salt and would absolutely be expected to know the rules.

The long winded legal jargon of the Oxford United section which concludes with "21. Southampton lost the fixture to Oxford 1-2" is hilarious.

So, anyone got a link to the full report that's supposedly been published? Edit; lol, cheers Hoff.

I don't remember ever seeing a stuttering run up being scored. I remember plenty of them being missed though. I think I'd go to prison for beating a player to death if I ever managed a team who lost a penalty shootout because of a penalty like that.

Legend. Get your money on him being top scorer in the tournament. CYLE LARINS ON MY MIND!

Teams that are just coming down from the Prem with fresh parachute payments, or lower end Prem teams. I think people are underestimating the appeal a rock solid player has when available for zero transfer fee.

From their end. Future proofing. Their agents will be suggesting they look at the direction Saints might be going in with what's happened and only one more season of parachute payments. Leaving on a free means they can ask for more in wages due to there being no transfer fee.

Well that's fine but the problem is once his contract expires so does that option. Does anyone know when it expires? Is it the end of this month or next? Bree will have his choice of any championship club and possibly a couple of the Prem ones too.

I keep seeing this but we surely would have exercised it by now?

I mean playing devil's advocate, I think they will be discussing potential replacements as a contingency regardless of whether they intend to try and keep Tonda.

I think it's a summer too early for Jander personally, his performances weren't consistent enough for anyone to pay the sort of money we'd be expecting. Scienza is an interesting one because despite looking so dangerous, anyone looking at his actual output will wonder whether he flatters to deceive so again I don't know if they'd stump up the level of cash we'd want. I think Charles and THB are the only definites to go, and sadly I think Stewart and Bree are also already gone. I'd really like to think that Peretz and Larin are both at the perfect level where we are the best option they are going to get, they would be two huge additions for next season.

"United, you say? Of course my child...there you go..."

10 years after Saints decided he was past it. Good job lads. What an absolute monumental legend. Should be much higher regarded in the game.

Looks nice but I prefer the white kit with red sash look.

Going back to the sash would be great. Think we should make that switch permanently tbh.

Jesus, that's horrible. To go so young. RIP.

This is my point, CAS exists to oversee perceived injustices in sport, I don't see how a governing body can dictate that we can't go to them about this.

I know the EFL have said we can't go to CAS but is it really up to them?

Is THIS one of those "I know it to be true but can't divulge my source so I'll ask it as a question instead" posts...?

You know what. As time has gone on I do feel my position shifting more towards us keeping him. I feel like there can't be NO repercussions from what has happened internally given what we missed out on, but I do find myself agreeing that he should be in charge next season.
