And still played fucking Bazunu in goal

Oh absolutely, further proof of why Tonda has to go. Nobody will want to play for the bloke.

Another player not backing the manager too .

That certainly sounds achievable, however my concern would be that given the strength of the teams coming down we could well see a season like the last time we went up and the final table looked like this

I was referring to the boxing match being held at St Mary’s in a few weeks tbf but your point still stands about the atmosphere next season.

Then let the fireworks commence! The EFL telling Hull to prepare for Southampton for over a week and then changing it to Boro with two days notice will come back to bite them I’m sure.

Forget its SFC, let’s say for example If a salesperson at a legitimate business somewhere was over exceeding targets, and making the company a fortune, but was taking back handers and stealing, do you think the management would say “yeah he’s a wrongun, but he makes us a lot of money” or do you think they’d follow due process and get rid? Regardless of him being the best man to get us promoted his position is untenable, its a basic business fact.

It’s not that I’m unable to understand the argument, it’s that it’s an unrealistic argument to begin with. This £200 million figure being banded about, that’s only for one seasons worth of tv money. Let’s say we managed to survive, suddenly that’s £400 million, and on and on. There’s no way we’ll ever know for sure but all we do know is that Dragan authorised the spending of a bit of money, to make a hell of a lot more, and the incompetence of a handful of people has put an end to that, and no businessman will tolerate that.

Yeah him and his crocodile tears can fuck off. Hope he’s crying real ones Saturday.

Then those people aren’t living in the real world IMO.

I’m genuinely astounded people are saying Tonda either could stay, or should stay, like what planet are you on. This bloke has committed gross misconduct, gross negligence, and has bought the club into major disrepute. This isn’t just about the £200 mill plus in tv money, think about the cost of this legal challenge, think about the sponsors exercising their right to pull out of their deals. Honestly we’re not some small business with a handful of employees who might turn around and think “yeah ok he messed up we all make mistakes”, this is an internationally recognised brand that has suffered its most embarrassing moment in its 140 year history, and the ramifications will rumble on for years. There is ZERO chance Tonda stays.

Someone was talking about Ben Garner on another thread and it got me thinking about Ryan Garner. Poor fucker has got his big title fight coming up at St Mary’s in a couple of weeks and was probably hoping the saints family would turn out and it’d be as much a boxing event as a promotion party . Will probably affect ticket sales and atmosphere with the level of apathy we’re all feeling.

I’m in two minds to be honest, on the one hand I’d like Hull to absolutely batter Boro and to see their fans crying. On the other hand I’d like to see Boro break Derbys worst ever Prem team record AND see Hull take the EFL to the cleaners over the whole playoff fiasco.

I guess their argument will be that we could have lost the playoff final, and thus would have escaped punishment essentially.
