That's a pretty high horse you're sat on - certainly not a pony. Lots of half truths as well to make your point.

On that basis it's a yes from me 🙂

This makes it ok?

I'm guessing Dragan will be mighty angry about a lot of things. One of those things might be the implication that most if not all clubs do similar. I'd imagine that will seriously piss him off and he'll throw everything at compiling some watertight evidence that it goes on. Get the popcorn ready cos I think Dragan has come over to stir some shit up as well as sorting things internally for us.

This spying campaign didn't just miraculously materialise out of thin air. It would have been one person's idea and said person would have floated it verbally to others. Many at the club will know who came up with the idea and maybe the person's name should be made public so we know who to blame.

It's a stupid rule within the EFL. It should be allowed seeing as virtually no advantage is gained by doing it. Then, if clubs like Boro didn't like being spied on (which they clearly don't) it's up to them to secure their training grounds.

Where have you got this from?

Winter is a turd that won't flush away.

Agree entirely. The outrage is funny really. It's as though football is and always has been a sport of integrity where the slightest rule break is greeted by cries of derision. These same journos and pundits fawn all over the big clubs like Man City, Liverpool, Chelsea etc who have and continue to do far worse than a little bit of spying that gained absolutely 0.01 in terms of Xg. Such hypocrites as they push their tongues ever further up the arses of the big clubs. Sickening.

Dragan has come over today so maybe he's handling the sackings and time frame based on when he arrived and got through all the meetings.

City never sacked their goose that laid the golden eggs despite all the chicanery which he must have known about and been involved in. They just circled the waggons and ploughed on. Not saying that's what we should do.

It's what nearly every ex pro footballer is saying but you know better.

Not to condone it but the cheating had practically zero contribution to the unbeaten streak or the semi final victory over Boro.

Behind a paywall.

Which is why you get in an experienced football man and preferably an English one.

Thierry Henry.

Pay for major facial plastic surgery, when healed unveil Tinder Ekfart as our new manager and tell him on no account do any fucking cheating.

Yeah, proves cheating prospers for some 🙂

Plenty. Money talks.

Yeah, just so long as you sack him immediately he gets you promoted.

Trouble is, he's continually relied on the group of half wits that run SR. If this doesn't set alarm bells ringing nothing will. Time for him to get in an experienced football man who is given carte blanche to oversee all aspects at the club and answers to nobody but Dragan.

It won't worry them as what we did didn't worry them. The probability is they orchestrated it so they'd have a contingency plan if we beat them - which we did so they put the contingency plan in full swing and it worked like a dream.

Only if most of those players get offers from Premier League clubs. A few will but not most. Some may decide to stay and fight for promotion next season because they likely won't be getting better offers.

You say we've forfeited a game but seem to forget we've been denied the opportunity to compete in said match that earns the winner north of 200 million quid but I guess that's a small thing. We'll also lose sponsors and find it harder to attract new ones.

Let's face it this was a kangaroo court not a fair hearing. The punishment was set to appease the baying mob that was the media and football pundits, We did wrong, were stupid and deserved a big fine and points deduction but the masses decided we should be expelled and the hearing supported by the EFL duly obliged.
