It isn't the EFL that is on trial here, but with the mistakes and mindless decisions that they have been making, they should be banged to rights in my opinion.

To be fair, I will always remember Henry for his sportsmanship at Cardiff in the FA Cup final, when he could have gone down and got Claus sent off in the first ten minutes, but stayed on his feet. The referee was the only person in the stadium who didn’t see the foul, and thank God no VAR back then.
I’m consoling myself about us being removed from the final by thinking at least we can’t lose.
Just for perspective, there is all sorts of email banter that flies around in workplaces. It may be between William Salt and a few other juniors - I doubt it was circulated to the SFC - All distribution list.
With Middlesbrough selling tickets, previously bought by Saints fans, the EFL have lost the opportunity of reinstating us and making us play Middlesbrough at Wembley in a one game decider, unless everyone sits on each other’s laps.
It’s the genius for ****ing things up which they have shown so far, that gives me hope they might reinstate us just to continue the whole farcical business
Yeah day before the hearing according to BBC.
We admitted to a charge we weren't presented with. It's ****ing lunacy.
That's like walking in to a court room, pleading guilty to your charge and then offering up evidence for 2 further crimes and hoping it gets you leniency.
We were **** at spying and **** at trying to mitigate the punishment.
The only thing we have excelled in during this whole debacle is incompetence.
Agree but I understand that the contents of Tonda's phone were instrumental in the panel reaching their conclusion yesterday.
The last few companies I worked had strong policies about email use. The Whatsapp comments were alleged to all be on Southampton FC phones. In my opinion, it does not say a great deal about the professional culture in the club.

The two additional games were presented to us on Sunday.
We were presented with it at the weekend.
Problem is because we were already planning on admitting it all it's hard to now say we didn't have time to build a defence for the extra two instances.
He also famously didn’t go down when fouled by Claus in the 2003 FA Cup final and stayed on his feet. He could have and Claus was off. Liked him since then.
How is it possible that boro are able to sell tickets - they better not take my seat!
He's a barrister so, as far as I know, his main job is to read and refine our arguments and present them to the panel in the most compelling way, not (necessarily) to find some entirely new loophole.
