Some interesting mock ups there. Certainly like the third kit option c) sky and navy halves, reminiscent of the 1980-4 away kit in those colours

Witn the FA investigation and charges looming it seems unlikely to me that Tonda will be in charge for the first five games.

What I find staggering is how this seemed to be left to Parsons to handle. Given the implications I’d have expected the owners to be directing Parsons, taking legal advice on day one to manage the fall out and defence.

True, but let’s see what our squad looks like before concerning ourselves with theirs.

Just no plain back ffs.

I’d leave it until 2035. 150th anniversary.

Fair point

Think there is little or no chance of Frank being brought to Saints. He’ll have other offers (Palace, Fulham perhaps?) Big question for me though is whether Frank despite the name and reputation earnt at Brentford would have the desired effect. Yes, great time at Brentford, but how much if that was down to him, or the system they have in place ? The fact they put someone else in and you didn’t notice the change leaves a bit of a question for me.(Best ignore his time at Spurs, bit of a basket case). This is ‘the system’ we’ve strived for, that head coaches are easily replaced and new ones just slot it. But we’ve clearly ballsed it up. Could be like Nuno, hot property at Wolves but in a system and club to suit him, or Curbishley years ago. Charlton worked out, but not repeated anywhere else. But academic as I don’t think he’ll be at Saints.

What purpose would that serve ? Other than spite. And no benefit to them whatsoever

If you’re going to wear a tie at least do the bastard thing up properly. Classless oik.

Happy Hour indeed. But not for Middlesbrough who will be singing along to the old Goodies song “ Do, do, do the Funky Gibbo …”

Not if the FA engage Gibbo to insist that all matches are played in air conditioned stadia. He’ll be petitioning the White House tomorrow

Good result. Sense of natural justice being restored. McBurnie is an arsehole, but did the business today, thankfully. Shame we hadn’t signed him - free transfer-rather than Downes at the start of the season.

Yes, think so.

What a prick. Obviously enjoying the limelight and publicity. Wonder if that contravenes any rules with the Bar Council.
