We all know he's getting banned. We're waiting to see how long for.

My understanding is the club are aware of said punishment but are considering options for appeal. Its not as harsh though as people fear. All I really know.
  • MB - above is your post from 1 August. I’ll take your post a few minutes ago with a very large pinch of salt

No point appealing it's not going to make any difference as we know from EFL judgement. Its not a real panel or court or official magistrate just a few blokes at a desk. Spygate is the biggest and highest profile issue the FA will ever deal with.

They are on the phone to Steve Gibson to ask what the punishment should be 

On the phone to Gibson say is that good enough for you or do you want to appeal for 18 months.

Have it on good authority that you are utterly full of shit.

I could have told you he's being banned three months ago.

No idea what the result is but you'd think if it was something we thought was ok then we likely would have heard by now you would have thought.

I don’t think that’s correct at all, the Premier league and EFL have handed down loads of points deductions and fines in recent times. Those fall under the governance of the FA. Everton, Forest, West Brom recently had points deductions, scandalous that Chelsea then get off with just a minuscule fine for breaking rules that gave them years worth of competitive advantage, shown by their uptick in terms of winning titles and trophies 

It must be a case of power and influence for City and Chelsea. If FA are scared of Chelsea then City case will be dropped. Otherwise points would have been deducted years ago.

I thought someone mentioned that an appeal had already been made hence why it took so long to get to here?

Because there would be no reason for it not to be released.

I mean, I don't have a clue either way. Not sure if there is any correlation between severity and delays of timings for announcements

It may be that he wasn't told today and they were just asking more questions as suggested by Alfie tbf

Perhaps the FA have appealed their own decision? They were happy with a 3 game ban and then they saw Parson’s video and are now seeking a 33 game ban.

Not looking good.

Fuck, hadn’t seen that Rupert Lowe was chairing the panel. Charlie Austin has just volunteered for the Pierrenport role.

Now, I'm no legal eagle, but I'm pretty sure you can't appeal against a decision BEFORE that decision has even been made....

The image of @CB Fry and the chapatis OMG 😫😫

They were Peshwari Naans if I remember rightly. It had been a few years since I've done the old Tarzan impression so it wasn't as polished as it once was. I did apologise to that woman I poked in the eye though.

To think that they weren't going to punish him, until Parsons spoke up. Hard to argue against capital punishment after that happens.

I thought his comments would have more suction. Seems like Parsons was shouting in a vacuum, so to speak.

Not to worry. All living members of his family will be included on appeal by order of Gib Jong Un

Say they do throw the book at Tonda with a lengthy ban as in the rest of this season... Out of interest  Do most on here still think it was the right decision to stick with him after all the turmoil. He has brought to the club? Which could lead to even more uncertainty

I read the first few words of this post and immediately thought of the second half before finishing reading. 😂

Already did a little update of about thirty seconds. Maybe that's job done for the day.

Would have been nice if someone from the FA had a quiet word off the record to tell us they were banning him so we didn't waste our time.

I don’t think sport republic can hang their hat on any manager they have appointed since taking over, aside from Tonda. So that’s a factor.

But, unless the club were given a firm assurance that he was getting banned (which I doubt they were), it’s a very difficult scenario. Some owners would’ve kicked him to the curb immediately, which would have been understandable. Ours didn’t, and it’s equally understandable why.

So, for me, no bother on the decision making. It was always a risk but we’ve had a reasonable start to the season and, if we have to replace a manager mid season, it’s not a complete disaster by any means. Eckert came in before Xmas and turned an ailing side around, get a decent manager (yes, not a given) and we’re not even an ailing side.

Would you prefer responses with or without hindsight...?
