hypochondriac

Any PR agency worth anything would have been advising us to do exactly what we have done. You can tell that some people on here haven't had to do crisis management.

Why would more players leave than would have left anyway?

Disagree. What would you like them to have done?

This has been going on a week but it feels like a month. At least we have something to do in between the wait for the final.

Is that based on any info or just pulling out random numbers like most commentators.

I doubt the club's social media team have been directed to do much other than to act as normal.

If its decided that what we have done warrants expulsion, they aren't going to refuse to carry that out just because they don't want to have to move the final.

If the argument is that we ruined the first leg due to our cheating then that sanction would also ruin the second leg and make it a pointless endeavour. No one is going to do that after the game has been played.

If that happens then we would be expelled so it amounts to the same thing. It also discredit the second game because that result wasn't known prior to the game and it would have been played very differently in those circumstances.

Possibly but can it be proved and are we going to admit to that (and he was eager to have his say so clearly there's more to it than black and white.)

I assume they seek the opinion of the efl though for sanctions which I assume will play some part in the process.

Don't be silly. We know it is him.

The context must be relevant to some extent or there wouldn't be much need for a long panel. Unless we are challenging the charge of spying which I haven't seen much indication that we are.

They only won the media war by default because we didn't enter.

All the journalists have ever said is the range of sanctions available if we are found guilty of various things. If it is found that Tonda orchestrated things then yes of course he would be subject to a length ban. Doesn't mean that's the reality or that they have found anything like that.

Even if we sent someone we would still need time to establish a time line and who was aware of what and when. I'd suggest that's really a holding statement rather than a suggestion of anything deeper.

Weren't you wetting you knickers yesterday about being kicked out?

Boro haven't set this up that's completely far fetched. Maybe this ex intern had a hand in setting the guy up but even that feels quite unlikely to me.

It's top 8 next year which would still be achievable.

I'd take it though. Particularly if they don't apply next year if we go up.

Yeah it's on social media as chinese whispers. No one has actually heard something reliable

Twats on social media from supporters of both clubs saying they have heard decision reached and it's entirely opposing outcomes. In reality of course nothing has been decided yet.

Pretty sure he said it on one of the podcasts too. Either football Martin or TSP

Do we have any evidence at all thus far that Tonda is involved?

I'd also be interested to know whether the EFL would consider a less harsh sanction if it avoided them having to move the final with all the upheaval that entails. Maybe that wouldn't be a factor I don't know.
