Tonda has to be sacked. He can be the fall guy and I think the footballing world will move on fairly quickly.

That's why we need a clean slate. A new manager goes some way to showing to the outside world i.e. sponsors, players etc. that we are looking to ensure this never happens again. Tonda is tainted unfortunately, unlikely he'll ever work in England again

We'd all be rich if we could

He has to be sacked, we need a completely fresh start to rebuild our reputation, and we would never get that if he remains in charge.

We might not have a choice of keeping him if the FA take action

Parker has won promotion with three different clubs. Very very impressive

If our appeal is dismissed, I'd be embarrassed if we tried to take it further. The more I'm stewing this over, the more anger I feel towards our owners. We have to get them out ASAP.

I've never wanted Hull to win a game of football so much.

Well if Phil is confident, then I am less confident.

Scott Parker the obvious choice given his promotion record.

We won't struggle to attract good players, we still have more resources than most teams and ultimately people only care about money.

It would be quite funny if we did win the appeal tbh. I don't think we will but let's see. I still think given the cirumstances a fine is a more appropriate sanction and I'd say that for any team.

I'll try to look on the brightside - when we beat Leeds, they sold all of their best players, ended up winning the league and now look at them. So we're not going to just capitulate and freefall over this.

These lot have let us down time and time and time again. Just when you think the good times are back, they find a new way to sink to new lows. I don't know how but we have to force these charlatans out. They're destroying the club.

I'll wait until the appeal process to fully digest this but this surely has to be the end for Sport Republic.

Wasn't it previously reported that other teams had 'suspicions' but no other evidence. So it just be that those teams wrote to the EFL about that. If there was any clear evidence we'd have been charged with more offences. So the panel may consider it but we'll see.

Any leaks from Hull would be more reliable than Middlesbrough

It's only disruptive because of Boro media trying to force an agenda. EFL have told Hull and us we're playing on Saturday

Just spilt my beer again. Fuck you!!

Ffs. On a train up to Manchester reading the last couple of pages and just spat out my beer all down my top

If the full written reasons aren't being published until much later, how could one side appeal against that before hand?

Hopefully someone on a Hull forum who's been told the final is definitely going ahead on Saturday as planned. Their ticket sales are continuing as normal, as have ours today.

I'd be slightly more sympathetic if it wasn't for their moronic fans
