Agreed. I think he would have resigned or been forced to resign. It would help our case mitigation i.e. "we've dealt with this". Dragan has £200m at stake and as much as he and we love Tonda, that would be his main focus. I'm confident therefore Tonda wasn't directly involved.

The "1 week to go" post by the club and silence over the past 48 hours from the Boro client journos suggests to me that all parties know the outcome, or at least what it isn't. Hopefully anyway.

I'd love the conspiracy theories to be true, not least because the lashings of humble pie from the media, ex-pro's and twats like Corden would be delicious. Sadly, the simplest and most obvious explanations are usually the right ones.

Correct. I don't think thats a fact a lot of neutrals have grasped - they are frothing at the mouth at "spying" generally, which is of course fine outside of the 72 hour rule.

Are we in a better position than when they took over? If we ever get to that point then they will deserve some credit. A long way to go and if we don't go up this season then I think that we will have serious financial issues

Some of it is wildly inaccurate especially around the Adkins sacking and Pochettino appointment. Timelines totally wrong which make his anecdotes highly questionable.

6 of each. The Chelsea players hair was holding the other players hand 😉 eh Whitey?

It's ok to admit you are wrong rather than doubling down on something so obvious to 99% of people who can, you know, see. Utterly bizarre.

100%. Surprised he didn't wear a hi-vis and hold a clipboard.

He moves so slowly he will probably arrive there in June.

Yes and Southampton branded cookies 🤣

Bet365 were offering 500-1 earlier. Now down to 80-1.

Brighton are incredibly well run from top to bottom (I do have some personal insight into that). There will always be a degree of luck in transfers of course but they get it consistently right which is no coincidence and they have their core supporting structures spot on. Saints couldn't be further from that sadly - we are run by a team of desperate gamblers at a roulette wheel.

It's the whole Sport Republic model. They want to emulate Brighton, the difference being that Brighton are good at it.
