Class act mentioning Hull and Boro too. What a bloke.
And how is that **** Eckert still in a job? He should have been told to **** off minutes after the appeal was rejected.
We’ll make great money for the players we sell too. Leo easily £30mill player, Jander £20+, THB £20+, still gonna get £20 for Rambo too. List goes on… the more this settles & I remember we didn’t get a hefty fine only a points deduction, I realise this could be worse. We’ll be back & any player we do keep is gonna have some serious fire in their belly by next season!
Very firmly believe this is the beginning of a massive decline.
We have to go up next season, to do that with a new manager, a new sporting director, a points deduction and an entirely new squad with SRs now unsalvageable track record is a pipe dream.
We have lost the odd major player in previous seasons, we will lose the entire core this Summer. We will have to replace Harwood-Bellis, Jander, Charles, Scienza, Larin and Peretz at minimum and we will have to do it with no one leading the backroom operation for the majority of the Summer.

Quite obvious we wouldn’t have sacked him that fast. We could easily be waiting for an FA ban anyway.
Unless! If we can get some intel on opposition lineups, shape, and set plays to help us along the way...
We’re still an attractive proposition next season for both managers and players, because we have money. Simple as that.
Oh for sure, absolutely not saying for a second we gonna go up for a long while! But, I think we’ll be okay next season now I realise how talented our current crop is. Just gotta get it right again with technical director / manager / recruitment. SR owes us that at very least!!! & tbf to them they got it right finally this summer / Jan. If all this spying hadn’t happened we’d me back in Prem with a quality squad… it’s not all bad & gotta remind myself that it can be done again. They have A LOT to answer for though AGAIN!!
From what I've heard he's very much involved. Worse than what's been reported.
Don’t be silly, we’re probably one of the most appealing commercial opportunities outside of the Prem.
Would someone want to stop buying Man City cause of the 115 charges? Or Chelsea cause they sold a dodgy hotel to themselves. We have Prem infrastructure and a large budget / revenue for Championship side. If owners decide to sell, we’ll end up with billionaire owners again as we have had for nearly 2 decades now
All the analysts report to him, supposedly. No-one can tell me he didnt know what they were up to? 100% he was involved and knew.
Fair enough, I think we’ll be alright on that front. My biggest concern is next season, depending on whether SR decide to do it all at once - sack everyone & sell the club in one summer. I think they will put us up for sale, but use next season to steady the ship somewhat and cash out what they can from player sales / leave it relatively debt free / ensure Championship status so that more attractive sales proposition to potential new buyer
I've heard from 3 different places (None of which are Alfie I should clarify) whom I place a reasonably high level of trust in that some junior staff pushed back against it but that Tonda and Spors basically forced/bullied them into it.
Not saying it's 100% true obviously (all 3 could ultimately be the same source of course) and happy for it to be proven incorrect but I definitely trust it more than a Mail journo from the NE.
