Very good, but really hope this doesn’t come back to bite us on the arse 

In some ways we're already doomed. We get to play the play-off, we could lose it. We win it? We could then get relegated next season. The Boro fans will enjoy whatever the outcome is so let's have some fun when we can! 😁

Who cares if we lose, at least we have our funny AI slop

It's just a repeat of the rumour that was flying around on Friday. It's bollocks.

Seeing as the panel haven't even convened to decide the punishment yet, and won't do until tomorrow, you can safely ignore anyone who claims to be ITK about this.

Dean Holden

Hull assistant manger 

"We are preparing to play Southampton on Saturday at Wembley, that's what we have been told by EFL" ..."purely on Southampton"

"Full focus is, and will remain, on Southampton"

Also says they are not preparing or analysing Middlesbrough at all.

Asked about changing date or venue - that's far-fetched

Let’s hope this saga is put to bed and we can fully concentrate on Saturday. I’ve gone through every possible scenario in the last week, and now I’m leaning towards to a big fine, slap on the wrist and some points taken away from our next championship campaign .  If you had said during the ginger idiots managerial stint we would have a play off final against Hull to get back in the premier league, I think we would we all have bitten the collective hands off

The further this goes on the more confident I am, the reaction if there is an appeal and a postponement would be huge and incredibly costly, nevermind the damage the EFL would create for itself.

My guessing is all this time has been to find middle ground between Middlesbrough or Steve Gibson and Southampton with the EFL mediating, we'll never know what backchanneling or what meetings took place away from the official investigation, I'm also pretty sure Hull have been informed on the quiet to keep them sweet.

Points deduction, fine and an undisclosed amount given to Middlesbrough or Steve Gibson.

Gibbo.

Middlesbrough the club that decided not to play a premier league fixture when they had too many injuries (to their multi million pound squad), and illness, so they got a 3 pt deduction for not turning up, even though their fans did..

Blackburn weren't awarded 3 points, they had to play the fixture during the run in when Middlesbrough were fully fit, fighting for survival with players in the shop window .

The game was on Sky and Middlesbrough got a cut of the broadcast rights and advertising revenue. Middlesbrough won.

So they got their 3 pts back effectively but got relegated anyway.

And Blackburn missed out on Champions league by 2 points.

And went into decline.

But Gibson keeps quiet about that when he was petitioning to Sue Derby out of existence..

He forgets that there was no FFP or PSR when he was using Cellnet to pay for his project in 1996,

He forgets when labelling Leicester cheats that Leicester missed out on champions league twice to teams with over 100 charges between then finished 17th behind 2 teams who were sanctioned the following year (Forest and Derby) resulting in release clauses and derisory offers for players. Resulting in a PSR breach.

He was straight in when Leicester went into administration because the leagues itv digital deal collapsed, but somehow forgot about Portsmouth.

He voted to retrospectively punish teams for the administration deduction after the new rule was brought in in 2002.

Does he also forget where Middlesbrough were when he bought them? Or how they got a league place after ceasing trading?

He forgets that the superleague 6 only got a 300k fine for their part in trying to kill the pyramid.

He went after Watford for their owner saying they were cheating when getting udinese players on loan.. 10 years after he tried to buy a trophy, lost both cup finals and got relegated..

Short memory.

It is nothing to do with Middleborough it is to do with us apparently cheating and our intent to do so and the punishment we have to accept

If we did send this Intern to get illegal information we were fucking stupid and it is hardly surprising we were caught

The true facts will soon emerge 

I can not see how our actions prevented then winning and I cannot see how we can be sued and lose a court case but I may be wrong and somebody could put be right
