Also the people carrying out the spying acts? The “only following orders” defence was discredited a long time ago. This is one of my many problems with the way this matter has been dealt with so far. The club were hammered last season. The club have also be punished this year. The club could now be punished again this season by losing its manager for a period of time.

To be fair I think that we, and most people following the sport, thought it was all a bit of a joke when the news first broke. Did anyone of us suspect that Gibbo would make such a big deal about it and that we would be hammered so hard when the photo appeared of the spy by the tree? It still seems ridiculous to me that it became such a big deal. It was most inept act of spying ever and had zero effect on the result of the game. This will go down as one of the most ridiculous sanctions in sporting history and I don’t see how anyone could have foreseen what would happen from what was initially released about the situation.

Or perhaps he was just keeping his power dry? It is unfathomable to think that a multimillion pound business have not had discussions and put plans in place to deal with various outcomes. Would you expect him to come out and say yes we have a new manager lined up should Eckert face a long suspension, especially as they have said they are backing him fully?

I’m not sure how punishing both Eckert and the club works? If he has taken full responsibility, why not just sanction him? We have already been hit both last season and this, despite the offences only being committed last season. Any action on Eckert would be a third punishment. It is also ridiculous that we are now well into the season and they are only now going to hear the case that has already been dealt with months ago by the EFL.

The point raised on tv today was spot on. We have already faced a very harsh penalty for last season and another penalty for this season with -4 points. Why yet another sanction against us?

Relax guys, it’s just locker room bantz. I thought it quite a good ad for their sponsors actually.

Ryan Reynolds is gay??

What a difference a couple of games makes. A little while ago the bed wetters were telling us that we were rubbish and wouldn’t be going up. 🙄

You handy heard of gardening leave? If they are not going to sack him and keep on the books of course they will pay him. He will still be under contract.

Baz is MOTM with a rating of 8.9 out of 10.

If the refs think he is diving why don’t they book him for simulation? For the record I thought that they were both clear penalties.

Downes has been excellent all season and was superb tonight. We’d be top on goal difference tonight without the minus 4. Something for the bedwetters after the draw at Lincoln to think about.

As opposed to JWP passing sideways.

Up until recently I hadn’t seen current pictures of either him or Paul Nicholas. Quite a shock to see how much they had aged since they were both on TV regularly. Where did that time go?

Archer plays more like Mubama than Larin.
