We are essentially being given a potential £200 million fine for filming some training sessions. It would be one of the biggest punishments in footballing history. I don't care if they sack Tonda and the staff tomorrow and we play at Wembley with the cleaner in charge, the punishment isn't proportional.

Don't think the £200m argument holds weight when we've cheated to try and earn it.

I agree it's not proportionate but ultimately the fact we've done it as far back as December means we can't complain too much imo.
 
Alfie has said the appeal will be heard tomorrow too. No chance it gets changed imo. Surely Boro need to sell tickets from tomorrow morning.
 
Am I missing something with the people blaming SR for this. Is it not the coaching staff who should be getting the blame here. Doubt the higher up members sanctioned or knew about this.... Ridiculous punishment mind you
Who recruited the coaching staff?
 
This news has caused Saintsweb to go down. I am gutted for the team and the fans. This was the best team we’ve had in years and some members of staff have destroyed it for us.

Still one of my favourite seasons ever.

In a way it's perfect for me. Saw **** loads of wins and no midtable mediocrity but still get to go to Lincoln next season.

Money talks though, and SR aren't going to miss out on a potential £200 million pay day. A legal challenge would postpone the final for sure.

I suppose it might lead to reduction in the points deduction next season. But I agree that there's no chance we get reinstated.
 
When I raised this falling at SR door, not many on here thought it had anything to do with them.

Now the **** hits the fan the my are rightly called out to sell up, **** off or whatever.

Surely they can’t survive this.

I am not sure appealing will do anything. All it will do is encourage other teams to pursue Saints for cheating and potentially spying.

There has been no statement form the club as yet. I would guess that there will be a fair few who will be receiving their P45s.
