Should Saints Sack Tonda?

Just passing on some info from a friend of someone who has spoken to some of the higher ups at Saints. Apparently the message from last week was that there hadn't been an expectation of FA charges. Do we know for definite that the FA is looking to charge us? Would rather contradict what Blackmore has said and may have changed since last week. Just letting people know.

Cheers Hypo.... Let's hope it's not the same senior bods that weren't expecting such a heavy sanction from the EFL....

Interesting snippet from @LeG on the 'Sport Republic reaction to Spygate' thread... Probably best to repeat on this thread in case it gets lost in the ether...

 

 

Take your pick...

 

Wasn't Albert Jones 'in the frame' (so to speak) when the news first broke? He is, after all, the only 'first team analyst' that appears on the OS... Maybe one of the 'unhinged' theories was correct all along... i.e. that this was all going on without Tonda really knowing what was going on at a detailed level...? (i.e. he maybe knew that 'spying' was taking place but not specifically when, where, etc....?)

The plot thickens...

I think it may well be the same! Just interesting that the whole thing about FA charges sounded definite. That wasn't the case last week at any rate.

So where was Garner working before he came to Saints? I remember reading that these analysts tend to move around a bit between clubs and have their own ‘community’. Did he have a stint at Boro by any chance? 🤔😏

I know, I meant to quote the one above - this was one of the guys Tonda brought in, so putting 2 and 2 together with Pilchards post.

ah i see. Yes i get the inference and tbh you are probably not wide of the mark as the spying practise is fairly norm in Germany......oh and pretty much everywhere if we are honest!

Although doesn't cover off the Oxford game.....! Unless he was working for us unofficially before Jan! Tonda would have also clearly been advising on it though, I don't believe he was caught totally unawares to this! Maybe this new guy just stepped it up a bit.

Maybe it's all Will Still's fault?

He was pretty inept, if we are to believe he knew it was against the rules. Not even a baseball cap and sunglasses. To be honest I feel more angry at him than whoever sent him.

At least he dyed his hair.

He is the one that stopped us winning automatic promotion. Without the play-offs we wouldn't have been caught and sailed into the Premier League where spying rules do not exist.

It could have been a Scooby Doo moment at the hearing where they unmasked Will Salt and it's actually Will Still

Ooops I am, but both of them would be wise to wear a disguise if in the Southampton environs.
