Tbf I think he probably means that this has affected a greater number of people. Badly worded though to be fair

What does that even mean? The press largely aren't interested in championship games. Typically we get two local journalists at press conferences and a few weeks into the season if we are performing well I doubt it will be much of a topic of conversation other than against Pompey or Boro.

In the initial aftermath definitely but I certainly didn't feel as strongly as he did a few days in. I hope that all of them get on board with a bit of the siege mentality. If the FA try to ban him I hope we go at them ful throttle with appeals and all manner of legal wranglings so they regret trying.

Not sure it helps that the main two reporters (Alfie and Adam.) Don't actually support the club. That can be an advantage at times of course.

Football Martin has been funny roaring out of the gate saying he needs sacking now doing a reverse ferret. I suppose lots of fans followed a similar trajectory but media personalities should always try to rise above it and be a touch more balanced than the average reactionary fan.

In case people haven't seen it

Henry winter. What a massive jizz mopping mong and a raging hypocrite.

Which is the most hyperbolic -breathtaking deception or morally repugnant?

"morally repugnant." LMAO

Yep. Fans of other clubs are absolutely desperate for us to sack the manager, destabilise us more than we already are and that's mostly because they don't want us as promotion rivals. Well fuck them we won't let it happen.

Back in his box. I'm a supporter of his but he hasn't come out of this with a lot of glory.

These statements are welcome but I do wonder why they couldn't have made them last week?

This was after the initial punishment tbf

Don't want to keep repeating myself but the clubs expectation was that there wouldn't be an FA ban. Sounds to me like that feeling is still there.

This statement today does make me realise how much I would appreciate more regular updates from Solak himself. He speaks more sense than anything from the club in recent times.

I expect both to go. Alongside Charles and THB. Would he amazing if we kept one of them though. Even losing all those we wouldn't be dramatically weaker assuming we can replace THB with someone half decent. A cm of Bragg, Downes and one other would be good business.

Although the primary benefit of sacking him would be the club being proactive about trying to put this behind us. If the FA ban him and force us to sack him then it's the worst of all worlds- instability at the worst time, players more pissed off losing a manager they want to play for and have a relationship with and none of the benefit we would get from sacking him because it wasn't our doing. I hope we are confident he isn't getting banned...

I know it won't happen but would be funny if they gave him a six month ban and we got him to manage in Turkey or France for 6 months.

I reckon they composed that a while ago ready to go for when the findings were released. Agree though it wasn't great- this was miles better and more human.

Yep. Combine that with an unexpected player staying like Scienza or Jander and we are in business.

Good lad

Someone yesterday posted a rumour that he has offered to compensate the players. If true I suspect that would help matters.

Great interview and first piece of good news in a while. Fight back starts here and sounds like if they try to ban Tonda we will try to make things as difficult as possible for them.

Boro fans on social media really starting to piss me off with their ongoing whining. Calling for relegation and saying how awful it is. Just fuck off. I hope we keep Tonda for that reason alone.

No idea if they are but if they are looking to start legal action an apology at this point would probably be quite unhelpful. Besides, I had they had a full staff meeting soon and weren't planning a statement beyond this generic response one until after that.
