Remember when they promoted selles from within and it fucked up they said they would never make that mistake again….. well fuck me this promoting from within has taken it to a next level fuckin disaster 

It's been the same argument since day one, they don't learn from any mistakes.

They're either arrogant and think they're always right, or they're incompetent. Sadly I think it's both.

[Saint Scott]

Why is he still here?

[Mr Saints]

Hopefully it hasn’t been announced yet because they have all been fucked off and there’s no one left to announce it.

Players must be absolutely livid thinking they have worked their tits off to get into the final and had it all taken away, there's no way they will want tonda back in their midst surely? I know there's a chance some of these players knew about it before the media storm 

I'm sure the players are angry and I doubt Tonda will be our manager next season, but one of the main reasons they were even in with a shout of the Premier League was Tonda's impact.  These same players had stunk the place out for a third of the season under the previous manager.  

And if we'd simply lost to Hull or Middlesbrough our best players would have been looking for a move away, such is the nature of football.

Is it true that we didn't have a head of compliance in post? If so the failing goes right to the top 

[Dr Who?]

I think we needed to be seen to take swift action, but those at the top do not know how to do this. Gross misconduct sacked with no pay off! It does not matter how well he has done, he needs to be sacked so we can start to regain a little respect as a club. Imagine if he is still on the touchline at the start of the season!

Arrogance and incompetence is a bad combo... but sadly fits very well with all we have seen from SR.

 They will continue to to make poor decisions, and I have zero faith in them handling this difficult and crucial period in a good and competent way.

Not at all. We needed to wrap this up with legal obfuscation for months and months until we were already in the prem. The amateurs admitted to it and expected a softer penalty. Sack the lot of them

No different to what goes on in the majority of workplaces. Police involved. No those in charge would go through a disciplinary procedure not get arrested. 😂

I've also pondered this on the main 'spygate' thread, but given the FA didn't sanction Bielsa / Leeds, on what basis would they feel justified in being able to deal with Tonda / Saints December differently, given the activities were the same, without being inconsistent? (Leeds more prolific, in fact) 

 

Just the same as the reason Bielsa got Leeds a 200k fine, and we get 4 points and kicked out the play offs. They put in a rule with open ended punishments, and we've broken it.

Harvest season commences for the FA, delighted to see low hanging fruit.

[Mr X]

They are saying it was definitely Tonda who sanctioned the spygate

[Turkish]

My sources tell me he’s gone

While it could be they're waiting for the FA, internal processes during the investigation may have already brought to light things that made gross negligence for one person more awkward.

Examples:

No training on the procedures and regulations to be followed when taking up the post.

No compliance officer to maintain and implement regs and procedures, including awareness and training.

Clear guidance already known from Spors.

Complicity from other staff members and possibly with knowledge from players.

The club know what he did, which rules he broke and may simply prefer seeing what they can salvage, rather than clearing house.

O r, like so many people, they're just waiting for the police to get round to showing up.🙂

Sounds like we don't even have the minerals to sack him. This club is a complete cluster fuck off epic proportions

Parsons will have been sat in his big office waiting for the nod that Solak has finished a few rounds in Monaco and Ankersen has recovered from his 48 hour colonic before flying in for a chat about crisis management and how to avoid compensating the supporters.  Farcical!
