Well yes. There's obviously a time pressure. I would say surely there's some sort of deadline but this is SR we are talking about...

As expected then. To be fair they can't come out and publicly back him, then he's banned a few days later. We'd then have to get rid and look even more stupid than we do now. Also sacking him now would be self sabotage in my book.

Their wage bill will be one of the biggest ever seen in the Championship I'd imagine, even with a relegation reduction in players contracts. They are going to have to offload a few, that's for sure.

Totally agree. Imagine replacing Jander with JWP 😧

End of last season

Sorry if already posted but this is interesting https://www.insideworldfootball.com/2026/05/26/op-ed-sir-nicholas-mostyn-kc-soutampton-fc-admiral-byng-is-shot-again/ Edit - ignore, just seen it on the previous page

I'm actually looking forward to next season (If Tonda stays and isn't banned) I really don't like the PL and only wanted us to go up to keep our best players and become more financially stable.

Still no, if the players want to play for him that is (and he isn't banned). If the above happens and he makes a genuine apology then let's crack on and prepare for next season.

Maybe the players (like the fans) were initially fuming but now the heat of the moment has passed are coming round to keeping him and making a go of it next season. Who knows. The big personalities are likely to be gone anyway (THB, Scienza, Peretz etc)

Absolute tosser

I've not yet spoken to one non Saints fan who thinks we deserved to be kicked out.

There's absolutely no way Spors didn't know about this and no one will convince me otherwise.

That's true

Yeah it depends how deep they try and go. Although former FA chairman David Bernstein didn't think much of it. Let's hope the current lot take a similar view.
