    Always good to here an objective view. <ok>
    As others have pointed out, the club acts in a good way what ever the situation, so I'm happy to leave it to them.

    The more I see the video, the less incriminating it looks. I suggest he won't be there Sunday purely on the grounds of not needing distractions with catcalls from the opposition fans. Unless there is more (and that seems unlikely), I think Saints will limit their actions to carpeting Black and telling him to avoid being caught in such a position and a stiffly worded memo to all staff reminding them that they represent Saints even when off duty.

    Lambo and Godders - Attornies at Employment Law. Sounds OK to me. It might work except I keep forgetting stuff.

    You're on, mate. We'll clean up. I'll set off to see you just as soon as I find my car keys and remember my name.

    Maybe because he was networking. You never know when you'll need another job, especially in football.

    I like you two, however I see you maybe joining up for a re-make of a famous old TV show. I think there's a couple of seats in a balcony ready for you :)

    We're not old, you sod. Just growing old disgracefully.

    Interesting how this great story is beginning to just fizzle out. Now if the Telegraph were to organise a similar demise for the party it supports I'd begin to love it!

    Other than a brief footnote from reporters at games to remind us of the allegations I didn't hear or read any negative comments.
    Not much of a media frenzy

    If EB was happy to continue and Claude wanted him for the game, then I see no reason for him to not be there. Until the telegraph start playing ball there is not a lot to do.

    I thought he might be 'rested' to avoid a distraction, but it seems Saints aren't convinced by what they have seen and have decided to support their employee.

    And in fact 'resting' him might have created more of a media frenzy.

    Totally agree with this....The media will take any opportunity to knock Saints..........Had Saints "Rested him" I am sure there would have been a few headlines. "Black on the way out" a "Black day for Black" Saints see the light.......oh......... just name your own headline......Barstuerds.

    The sensational reporting hasn't helped, the telegraph have acted pretty bad with this sting, but I will add I'm still not impressed with Eric's branching out into new business ventures.

    No need to keep repeating myself. I made my feelings clear and so far there's no new information out there so there's nothing really to discuss...

    I think because everything has gone quiet. The club is undertaking an internal investigation. Until any of that and related investigations finish we'll probably hear nothing.

    The Telegraph refused to hand everything over to the club(s). But, they have handed everything over to the police.

    The police have notified the FA, who will be made aware of any developments or further investigations that they may be able to assist with.

    That's where it's at right now.

    Was just about to post this. The club have to wait until the police are done.
