I can only assume loss of earnings (potential promotional wage rises etc). Athletic have already said they may take legal action so there's clearly some sort of reason to do so. They've busted a gut for nothing. Besides I wouldn't trust SR to get anything right at the moment.

We got promoted with Russ and he didn't need spying. Bring him home! 😇

Now if only Spurs could kindly get fucking relegated to take the heat off us a tad, that would be swell.

Boro employed a top football lawyer as soon as this happened. They played it perfectly. We appear to be somewhat inept and run by cretins.

The Saints media team are going to have a hell of a job putting a positive spin on anything over the summer, but I'm sure they'll manage it. Hope they cut season ticket prices as penance for the fans. But I won't hold my breath.

If that happens I'll get a tattoo of Parsons kissing Will Salt on my bumcheek. I think I'm safe.

Depends how any legal action goes by the players to the club. I can't blame any of them for wanting out over the summer. Of course we'll sign players, but it depends on who even owns us. There's a lot to sort out with the ownership and management of the club before we can even think of signing players. Wish I could just sleep until September and see what state we're in then. Shambles.

The club have been stringing the fans along for months. Sack them all. Pompey might have Michael Eisner but we are the Mickey Mouse club.

I wouldn't blame them. They've busted their arses to get to where they ended up. And they probably have promotion clauses that they will now not get. I wouldn't be surprised if the first team looked very different next season. If I were a season ticket holder even I'd be looking at doing something, even if it's ultimately pointless. The fans have been wronged too and they spend a lot of money each season supporting their club only for this to happen.

I'd guess the club haven't said anything yet because of the appeal. We'll hear from them tomorrow for sure.

This is a good point and partly true, lack of promotion would see our better players leave but now we're in a different situation after cheating. Players may have gone in good faith after receiving good money for them but with a possibility they could stay if no bids came in as a we had a chance for automatics next season. Now we have a 4 point penalty and a reputation in tatters, players may actively want to leave us now. We'll see, I guess. I'm gutted because I'd love to have seen this side with a few good additions next season. Personally I think we go into next season still rebuilding the team... and that is never good for preparation when you need a quick start.

They took one look at Baz and threw as much money as they could at Johansson

I blame Leeds. Bastards did it first and we're paying for it. 😜

Strike partnership with Damion Downs.

I’m off out with my mate in Reading instead, He wanted a sesh in London but I want to avoid the place like a rash.

On the plus side, 4 point deduction but 8th place gets a play-off spot next season! 😜

Pep managed a club that evaded punishment for years. Perfect. 😁 Seriously though it's too early to even name a manager I'd want right now. Sort the ownership situation out first.

A) money. Wembley has been booked and makes a shit load of money for everyone involved. There is no way there would be no final. B) Time. It’s a World Cup year for a start. For Boro to play another two legs takes tons of time. It would also not be fair on Hull to make them wait. C) Wrexham players are probably on holiday. Sadly we forced the EFL to make this decision by cheating. We have to face the consequences.

That’s if we still have the same owners. Worst case scenario but SR and Dragan could sell up and we could end up with a consortium and have to tighten our belts. That might not happen but it will certainly be a few months of uncertainty.

Exactly this. It’s like dating the perfect woman for months that you proudly tell your mates about only to find out she’s a dirty, cheating whore who has been banging your mates behind your back. But that’s enough of my history… 😝

It depends if we still have Dragan or a new owner. Annoyingly after years of transfer dross we just looked as if we were getting it right but that’s probably because of Spors, who may yet be implemented in this, We will still exist next season but in what state we are in remains to be seen.

Decision stands would be my guess. They could punish us further potentially.

Guess we’ve seen the last of THB, Jander, Leo, Shea, maybe Fin, Flynn, Cyle, Peretz… Summer of shit ahead. Thank God the WC is there as a distraction.
