Better than Skybet who have taken my money on my 6 game acca and declared Saints as a loss rather than just removing that leg of my bet or refunding the stake. That’s them deleted.

You should hire Pannick to get your money back. He's never lost a case.

Well until tonight. 😁

The future of our club for the next ten years will be determined by how quickly we act over the next two weeks. Delay and hesitate and we’ll be fucked for years to come.

'Being f**ked for years to come' will depend on us making the right decision, not the quick one. Will Still was appointed on 25th May, that's five days from now (four by the time the servers post this message) and look how that turned out.

Tonda and anyone else involved will have to go but there're no prizes for getting it done by lunch tomorrow. Clearly we weren't expecting to have to find a replacement so suddenly like this, so I hope we take as long as is needed to find the right man and get him in.

Solak should put out a statement tomorrow:

• Announcing the sacking of Eckert, Spors and Parsons
• Formally putting the club up for sale
• A commitment to rid this cancer of a culture from the football club before any sale goes through as the very least he can do for us fans
• A committment to refund Wembley tickets purchased by Tuesday next week, including booking fee
• Announcing discounted season tickets for next season
• Committment to release full details of the internal club review insitigated last week for transparency

Never apologise, never explain. We should keep Tonda, circle the wagons, increase the players' wages and get promoted automatically next season. 

I’ve liked Tonda in his time but his time is done. Can’t see him being retained, and if he was then a suspension probably is round the corner. 
 

Sad waste of his talent and future career which might not recover to fulfill his potential. What on earth was he and others thinking ?

Im not waiting until Tuesday for my money back they can fuck off.

Saints are 100% culpable and Tonda, Parsons etc all need to get to fuck, but EFL handling of the situation has been shambolic 

 

No chance this decision would have stood if it was Chelsea, City etc. Totally being made an example of

Agreed that would go some way to start to make amends.

Chances of any of that happening?

Slim to none I reckon.

[LGTL]

All feels a bit empty and pointless now. Right back to the Manning equaliser against Wrexham. Completely and utterly pointless. So many hours and £££ wasted, and for what? 

Things like this really make me question why I bother. My toddler cries her heart out every time I leave for another fucking trip to some northern hell hole as I won’t be there to put her to bed that night. And the entire lot has been in vein. It’s so raw but next season is going to take some serious effort on my part.

He'll go back to Germany. The clubs sniffing around him will be glad they don't have to pay us for the privilege

The players won't want to play for Tonda. And even if they did he's going to get banned by the FA.

He will never manage a game for us again 100%.

'Disappointment, anger, sadness … It’s difficult to find the right words for what we’re all feeling right now.

What has happened over the last days is heartbreaking.. for the club, for every player in this dressing room, and above all for our supporters. A moment like this should never end the way it did.

I feel sorry for every football fan, as well as the players and supporters of Hull and Boro, who were caught up in all of this chaos too.

We gave everything for this dream. Day after day, sacrifice after sacrifice, always believing we could bring this club back to where it belongs. For me, the dream of playing in the Premier League was something I fought for with everything I had. That’s why this pain cuts so deep.

The hardest part is knowing how much our fans deserved this moment. You stood behind us all season with incredible passion, loyalty and belief. Even in the toughest moments, you carried us forward. 

Thank you for staying with us through everything, you definitely deserved better ❤️'

Oh fuck off. Now is not the time to be making petty comments about our greatest ever Prem player you utter fucking moron. Maybe if you got off your lazy backside and actually researched what he's been saying, you might actually learn something, and realise he is spot on. You ignorant moronic fucking cunt. 

[Suhari]

SR seemed to have got their shit together this season. Spors made some great signings and Tonda was excellent.

And now it all gets burnt down: rightly so.

Sad times, but we'll be back.

Surely Parsons has got to go as well - if that description of what happened at Boro is correct, he's basically a boy scout in the shark tank. He thought we could 'do a Bielsa' which is just pure stupidity. Protecting the poor little analyst worked well, didn't it? - when he was always going to cop a ban, the other thing Parsons succeeded in doing was expanding the blast radius of the damage to the entire club.

Just the sheer incompetence of the whole thing is mind boggling. Never put down to conspiracy what can be explained by sheer stupidity....

Oh Sky Bet are shithouses. I had a great winning streak for about 3 months, nothing huge only £30-40 a week on the horses and football but when they’d had enough all their boosts and free bets were removed and I had a limit of about 2.30 betting on a horse.

Precisely. They've made a rod for their own back now. Will be interesting to see where this goes next because we haven't heard the last of it, that's for sure.

It’s definitely worse than losing normally. 

Going out as cheats isn’t something I ever thought could happen. We’ve always tended to do things the right way. At least before SR arrived on the scene. 

And even then, I’m still absolutely convinced that our cheating had a minimal impact on our wins or unbeaten run. We were better than Boro over two legs - spygate didn’t impact that at all  

Genuinely all you can do is laugh at this point. th situation is fucking mad.

Not just that, but you can imagine how every single press conference and post match interviews would go... Sadly, his position is untenable, end of. 

I'm not really bothered about what the hacks and scribblers have to say, to be honest.

But yes, it's cast a heck of a shadow. He would have to regain a lot of trust with everyone at the club and fans.

And, as I keep letting slip from my brain cell, a suspension removes him anyway.

Give this fella the keys to the club. He'll be the biggest loss this summer 😟

I agree. It's the first thing he's said in six years which doesn't read like it was written by someone who likes drinking paint.

Ah that Scienza post is rough. Imagine we’ll have a few more of those coming.

Sad but he deserves to move on, amongst others.

I guess we might be able to scrape together a decent squad for next season. But could also be staring at 5-10 years of midtable mediocrity..

I’d expect any clubs in Germany who were interested a few weeks ago, will be waiting to see if any ban comes first. 

[hypochondriac]

Sad we couldn't even say goodbye to some of these players. The likes of THB, Scienza and Peretz have been absolute heroes this season.

I feel exactly the same. Every goal, every win, every celebration just a complete waste of time. It’s not just the money I’ve spent but the emotional investment, leaving at stupid o’clock in the morning, getting home at 3am, the whole season just an utter waste.

Only one man can save us now... Someone find which rock Cortese has been living under.

[Mr X]

The sad thing is we will forever from this point be remembered and refered to at every single point possible by commentators and the media as the despicable club that cheated no matter what we do to try and improve our image may as well rename us the sinners... The knock on effect will be huge players just won't perform well under that pressure, booed by every single club we face for ever more.... What were the club thinking to take the risk and all for nothing!
