We see what you did!
I’ve been rumbled.

I told Parsons and Tonda I’ll get dragged in deep to their ****.

I should have listened to my gut and gone straight to Steve Gibson when I found out about this at a meeting near Abingdon.
 
I can almost guarantee you that every team in the EFL finds ways to gain a competitive advantage, even if it is 1-2%. We aren't the only ones doing it, but if this punishment sticks, we may well be the last.
Goal keepers going down to stop play so that the coach can get instructions out to the players, diving, pretending to be lashed out at, it’s all cheating
 
In my eyes it’s still a minor offence.

I would back Tonda next season.

It’s taken us ****ing ages to find a good manager.
Kinda with you here. He made a very bad mistake. but a young man 33 brought pride back to our team. Whatever, so called advantage you get by spying on teams is minimal, you can watch 90 minutes of their games each week. He was very misguided. How many managers (more experienced ones) in the past have slipped (Harry and Sam liked a brown bag). I am cut him some slack, best manager we have had for years. if he is not banned, I would keep him, he will learn, and will be hugely energised to make amends

I am not sure I have any pride in our team at the moment. This punishment and all the fallout that comes with it currently has left me with nothing but shame in the club.
 
It definitely raises at least a few minor questions about the run too imo.

Everyone waxing lyrical about how great he is at adapting to opposition. Players saying publicly how detailed he is on set pieces etc. and this could be a big reason why.
Really , when you can watch 90 minutes of every team, every game. I think we have been completely stupid, but in terms of marginal gains it is tiny

Tiny gain can have a big impact in modern football. An obvious example is that we finished 4th by a single goal...

We wouldn't have spent months doing it if we didn't think we were benefitting for it.

I actually don't think the gains are that small at all when it comes to set pieces either given how many goals they produce these days.
 
IF they players come in tomorrow threatening legal action against the club and it becomes clear how furious they are as a group and they storm out each stating they intend never to play for the club again.


And then IF we get reinstated after the appeal tomorrow evening




Then what?!





Do we know if Will Salt is any good in goal?

So Parsons admitted it to Gibson at the first leg? **** me <laugh>

Don’t fancy sharing your thoughts on the matter with the thousands of supporters who’ve just been ****ed over, but happy to go and admit cheating to a ****ing rival chairman
