Middlesbrough become the first team to lose the playoff semi final and playoff final in the same season!

Only 4 clubs next season will have parachute payments in the Championship. We'll have a huge wage budget compared to the 20 non-parachute payment teams. Even if players leave, there will be a lot of money to attract new players. The incoming players and their agents will find that a motivating factor.

The players losing any respect they had for him is an issue. As would be the media circus that would follow him around for every press conference and interview. He'll be banned, sacked for gross misconduct and Saints can move on with a new manager who hasn't tarnished his and the club's reputation.

Get out of my pub - play off final

Business idea! I'll make a fortune!

"They were spying on us as well" as testimony is an unsubstantiated claim, not evidence in itself. More would be needed for it to be an issue.

Testifying doesn't help them. Some evidence would be required.

Potential collectors items!
