Sounds wonderful but there is the tricky subject of finance. We cant keep all those players, we need money to come in to cover our losses. I suspect some players would have gone even if we had gone up.

I think we are still a great family club and always will be. In my time watching Saints I have lived through quite a few unsavoury back and front page revelations, Higgins (who was there under 2 of our most cherished heroes), Grobbelaar match fixing, the rape incident in Sweden, stories of brown envelope payments, how the younger players were treated by the senior pros in the 70's there will be others Im sure that Ive forgotten. These all are worse IMO than sending an intern with an iphone to get info.

I cant believe fans think they should have refunds on games they've attended. We attended the games and received the entertainment expected. The club will be under extreme financial pressure and cant afford freebies. As for Scott Parker pleaaaaaaaase!!!

I want Parsons to stay, outside of the playing side he has been shrewd and got extra income in. Very important, especially whre we are today

Ironic its a 72hour refund period

Ive been chatting to my Boro friend and he said something I havent seen elsewhere. He said both clubs are tainted as if Boro win it will always be said that they didnt really win, and only did so by being given the bye. He feels like me none have come out of this well.

Its interesting the 2 clubs to come forward were teams that are not in our league next season, I wonder what made them give evidence?

How can Leeds 200K get escalated to what we have been puniished with? The new rule gave no indication of the severity of the punishment to be meted out. The club were utterly stupid and we are where we are. I cannot see us being reinstated, and how could we sing our hearts out for Tonda etc, the players also must have lost their respect.

Have I gone to the Crufts chat all of a sudden. On another note North Korea ? are going to ban eating dog meat

meeting this lunchtime, the silly old duffers can only just pull themselves out of their gentlemans club or Cynthia Paynes club for an hour to deliberate, I thought they were starting on Friday, it is madness.

God the nonsense fluing around. Just had a message saying that 'his friend to one of our main analysts saying that we've been doing it all season, the club is going to own up to it lol. I hastened to add it came from somebody whose business is in Pompey

If this is constantly on my mind what damage is it doing to the squad and staff. Hull willhave a big advantage whoever they play

Im not sure I can cope with this in my head for another 24hours!! It is draining

oh ffs

I must sayIthought we'd have had a decision by now!

I feel that once the highly sophisticated surveillance and recording device became an iphone their story fell apart. Even a lot of Boros fans felt the balloon deflating when they saw that image.

Its funny that they want us to follow the rules, but dont want to follow the rules themselves

I thought Southerners were supposed to be softies!!

Im getting to thestge that i couldn't givea toss anymore.What will this uncertainty do to the players mindset?Lets string it out and let them in the final and see them get beat

Perhaps he should campaign for Sheff Utd to be given compensation for WHU cheating 20 or so years ago. It would mount to hundreds of milloions on his scheme

Brilliant

The whole episode has a reallygrubby feel to it, and events have happened that appall me, and I would have never expected it to happen to our club. Perhaps this change in attitude maymake us less of an easy push over in future weve always been too nice

If you watch it, their manager says something to him

No need to apologise ,you made me smile when you posted you retort on the day about screaming at me not the TV lol. The ballboy has a bit about him it seems, earlier he didnt throw the ball to them but held it for them to come and get it lol. He was a pupil at a school near Romsey and so is only 16ish. I am always sensitive to people calling out Saints away support, I cant be arsed to travel 5 hours to go to a game and so admire those that do. Also my daughter and granddaugher were there and they shout and sing their hearts out. Proper fans. Always like your posts anyway, keep going

Their manager must have said something quite objectional for Tonda to act like that
