It would be so Saints to get reinstated then lose against Hull anyway
Think he might have another job if the appeal fails. Judging from our statement, we will take this as far as we can.
Both.
You went too far with the whole hair shirt wearing, self flagellation routine. Gave the game away Ian......
Or should I say John? How long have you been behind enemy lines mate?
Boro have been selling tickets today. Since the punishment was announced yesterday Boro fans will have booked travel and hotels. Just don’t see how they make that the punishment only to change it 24hrs later with all the added mess as a result. Just not going to happen.
But why didn't we do that for the original hearing too?
Maybe if we'd got him for that, we wouldn't be here right now.
Of course not. But just imagine the scenes. We don't even need to win, just watching them not having it will do
Is that any worse than releasing an extra 1600 tickets to us yesterday morning and then duly kicking us out 12 hours later. This is the EFL we're talking about.
As has been stated, there are other legitimate ways of gleaning information about another teams tactics than spying. I agree that the Eastleigh case is almost as bad as the Johnny English fiasco in Middlebrough. However, from what I understand of the Whattsapp posts, our staff thought thus was amusing and all a big joke. I want to know who was monitoring them and just who else was party to these "bants" on line.
It not only feels amateur but, more significantly, is clearly disrespecting the rule. If you pop on other "national" websites, there is very little sympathy for us. I cannot understand why some here are not ashamed by what had happened. The rewards for promotion are amongst the greatest in football (and certainly English football) yet our coaches just felt it was a joke and the fact that we appeared to get away with it something that was funny.
This would never have happened on Lawrie's watch.
I think the panel have shown they're not arsed about that.
It won't happen because our appeal is basically 'but what about Everton? It's more important than Luton'
Arrogance. Parsons thought he could apologise and say we'd pay the fine less than 12 hours after the charge and that'd be that.
Same logic as getting Peretz and Latin in January after trying to to cheap with Bazunu and Downs first….
I have to admit that when I read about that, I was convinced that we would be exonerated , the panel having concluded that it was the action of one , immature individual.
It will be a nightmare for EFL. I can see a good number of clubs picking up the phone to their lawyers this week. Just means that the EFL will need to get it's house in order sooner rather than later. I can see clubs having to sign up to some sort of charter where behaviour is dictated and there is some form of redress when this is breached.
Professional sport is rife with cheating and probably always has been. This isn't some unique case.
Granted but the complexities of Spygate with so many potential heads of claim means that this is the moment with British Football needs to get it's house in order.
I'm surprised the EFL and Sky passed up the opportunity to make this a PPV event.
