well I guess so but the process as far as they are concerned should be when they make their decision. An appeal is the start of a second process. You may be correct but bloody hell that makes it sound like a dictatorship - "ooh if you appeal our decision dont tell anyone" 😂

I dont see any way in which if it has got to this stage Southampton FC havent issued a statement saying they are appealling the FA's decision.

and very deliberately not revealing how long said ban is for as well 🤷‍♂️

Thats correct, they appealed in January and it took until the summer to get the decision. We could well go down that route if required.

£500 and they have to buy the cakes for every Prem League meeting for a whole year

Indeed, difference would be they wouldnt be given about 25 minutes to get an appeal together!

I know I'm in the minority on this and ok had he stayed we may never have heard of Cyle Larin but nothing will ever convince me that especially the way Tonda sets up I firmly believe Onuachu would have scored a hatful of goals in the Championship.

I think the problem with Blackmore is he has this habit of interviewing like he knows best what SHOULD happen. Tonda isn’t the only manager he’s crossed swords with over the years that has lead to some frosty interviews.

Given Edozie put in a transfer request cos he wants more game time it’s a pity he couldn’t grab the chance when he gets a full half. Even that pillock Dawson on Sky Sports said he has no end product after doing good work.

Well in our next league game you’ll need a ref who can clamp down on it from the get go cos that lot will try to maime him !

Casper Jander is turning into this seasons Ross Stewart only this time it’s “one more week” 😂

Just using your plucked out of the sky assumption when do you believe Tonda and the club were informed of the punishment that they are currently under the cover of darkness appealing?

I wouldn’t go that far. He’s a big upgrade on Stephens however.

It was reported that Tonda didn’t have his mobile number yes……and why would he ffs? Any instruction would go through Salt’s boss in the Analysts Dept. There was even a clue where it was published that Salt received a text saying “the boss will be happy with this” or words to that effect.

Thinking out loud as well, if they decide to ban him during the international break do the clubs that have played us, and lost to us so far this season, not also have a case or argument to say “well you let him manage against us but now you’ve moved the goalposts….”
