Baird of the land

I’d take hyperbole tonight with a pinch of salt, especially when the word may is used. There doesn’t seem to be a legal precedent for players tearing up contracts because club gets a league punishment. Even bosman ruling took 5 years to go through the courts.

Can’t see how any players would have any legal course of action. Leicester players don’t seem to be doing so. A couple will force their way out like they did last summer but club would be morons if they permitted a mass exodus of key players.

There’s a difference between blown up and the nuclear meltdown if you start ripping out key personnel at a key time for starting preparation for next season.

Complete idiotic sentiment imo. Unless he’s banned, we keep the excellent manager we’ve discovered rather than blowing up the whole club in a vitally important year where we need immediate success, not more uncertainty.

I highly doubt we’re going to sell our entire midfield.

Clubs will very much respect his ability. If he’s not banned, he’d be quickly in another job if we cut him loose.

It would be idiotic to sack a manager who has turned the club round imo.

Dropping Dykes would have been the brave choice but when someone has been a regular through qualifying they are unlikely to be ditched.

Very happy for Ross. However, this is a big concern. Hopefully the club have been negotiating in the background and something was be quickly signed if fingers crossed we get to play at wembley and it goes our way.

CM is his biggest headache. He's got 3 excelllent players and unless he changes his spots he'll have to pick only 2 of them. Given how well charles and Jander played i'd lean to towards it being them.

Once again the scam that is var intervenes.

I'd be tempted to play wood over stepens, given a)he's up to speed b)i expect hull with mcburnie to go aerial. may be taken out of ours hands given the THB situation.

Needs to improve massively in final third if that’s to be the case

Maybe we should make Israeli defence force peretz new nickname.

Absolutely fantastic. That was a gorgeous cross by Shea, just when I was losing hope that we’d get the goal we deserved. definitely a couple of moments there where ref didn’t want to give us a penalty. hope leo is just bruised and can make it for the final.

Assume Thb was calling him out for trying to deliberately injure leo

Awful start. Massively important to get the goal back before ht. ayling being filthy trying to injure Leo and commentators acting blind and dumb about it.

Happy with that line up. Only slight surprise is jander over downes, but downes wasn't at his best at the weekend

I'm hoping Charles starts

Let's hope having a home 2nd leg proves more beneficial to us.

2nd half was at least an improvement on woeful 1st. Charles/stewart/edozie had an impact.

Pathetic, playing as if they are asleep. Completely unable to pass to another saints player. Hopefully tea cups flying at ht and subs made.

So jelert is considered completely unplayable

Yep much rather have key players fresh and injury free at this point.

Fair point. Bit disappointing that we dropped do deep at 2-1. rotation at the weekend I’m guessing
