  1. I think I and the club would be diappointed with 15m for Shea. Jander likewise Jordan James would be good, Fatawa but I expect others higher in the food chain will get him
  2. The word potentially is the main thing
  3. Its the closest we'll ever have to look like super heroes lol Not for me and as for the arrow pointing downwards its like looking at my shares!! Power Rangers playing football
  4. I missed that , what was the team thrown out last season?
  5. The stuff hes done in the commercial side has been very good I suggest
  6. To be fair with a speeding ticket you know the fines are set, I doubt anyone in football would feel that expulsion would be the penalty, especially after the first one issued gave a minimal penalty
  7. Im sorry but I feel you are taking this a bit far. National and international shame!! lol. No most fans of other clubs in the UK laugh at it and the comical way it was handled by us. Listen to respected foreign journalists on the BBC they think it is hilarious and came up with lots of instances of this happening all the timein Europe, where it is commonplace, they just shrugged it off. Other ex-pros who know it happens all the time, we have been hit too hard and thrown to the wolves. Iam not condoning cheating as I hate it but I dont see the way we are laying there and taking extra kickings without defending ourselves being the best way. I feel there is a section of the fanbase that is a bit precious, as Ive stated before my Saints have been involved in many disappointing episodes in the nearly 60years Ive been supporting us, and this breach is not that great IMO. We are victims of a superbly run agenda by Boro and Gibson who used his fanboys in the press up there to really go for it, and perhaps using them to gain an advantage by putting pressure on the club leading up to those games. Yes we broke the rules, why we bothered at that time was the crime in my eyes, as it wasnt needed. I do wonder if Tonda is right on the spectrum and needs to be sure, and sure again when making his plans for games. An obsession that made him lose his focus what is right or wrong. Finally if fans are worried about away fans calling us cheats next season, it wont matter who is in charge we will get it anyway, as much as its unpaletable
  8. Surely if the players and staff were against him he'd be gone by now.The fans look to be split 50-50 but a well thought out apology, a few players giving their support, us buying a couple of players (Peretz?) and that split will become far more favourable. Nick Illinsworth gave a strong support of Tonda on the Solent pod a week or so ago, Granty also just need a fewmore of themouthpieces come onside and we will unite again.
  9. I suspect you are only likely to get John Thaw from The Sweeney.😀
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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!!!
  13. 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
  14. Ironic its a 72hour refund period
  15. 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.
  16. 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?
  17. 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.
  18. Have I gone to the Crufts chat all of a sudden. On another note North Korea ? are going to ban eating dog meat
  19. 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.
  20. 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
  21. 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
  22. Im not sure I can cope with this in my head for another 24hours!! It is draining
  23. I must sayIthought we'd have had a decision by now!
  24. 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.
