I don’t like the more corporate multi club model at all. Bring back the local businessman who owns the club
To think some time ok we were thought of as being a well managed club

Interesting quote from this:
What could be more likely is a triggering of clause 11.1 in the standard contract for professional players in England, which states that a player can terminate their contract by 14 days’ notice in writing to the club if the club “shall be guilty of serious or persistent breach of the terms and conditions of this contract…”.
“A good player on a three-year contract who has a market value of £10m could make a strong argument to terminate their contract for what is called just cause,” says Chapman.
“Saying that your employer has cheated and denied you the chance to play in the biggest game in football is a pretty reasonable argument. That could put them in a position as a free agent where they can command a very good deal. Rather than try to sue them for a load of money and all the complexities of that, I wonder if we might see some players considering whether to just terminate and get a good signing-on fee elsewhere.”
Store is closed so couldn't get any play off gear
I drove past a couple hours ago and there were loads of portaloos and what looked like a temporary ticket office out front. Any idea what they’re doing?
It's all quite mad. After the Hull game I thought we were likely to get relegated. I was very anti Tonda (just because I'd never heard of him and thought he was another "clever" SR appointment)
Then we had that run and I genuinely thought it was destiny to get to the FA Cup final and for the autos. I have never been so pleased to be wrong. We beat Arsenal and Fulham- I really thought we could make a decent fist of it if promoted to the PL.
He was "cheating" the entire time. How is it the light at the end of the tunnel was a ****ing train....
I'm genuinely a bit shell shocked and have absolutely no idea where we go from here. The worst bit is, I don't even think we've gone as far tits up as it's going to.
****ing hell
Seeing reports is what pisses fans off about SR. You’ve GOT to sack the bastard. He is the main reason we’re all sat at home this weekend after being chucked out of the final for HIS cheating. Unbelievable

Actually scrap that. I'm still ****ing livid.
I’m with you on this. What makes me even angrier is that nothing has been done about Eckert at least. The enquiry has been going on for 2 weeks, the club lost the case because of actions he was clearly and proven to be involved in, yet they still haven’t sacked the ****er or even made a statement concerning the conduct of certain staff members.
I’ve had enough of these pricks taking us fans for granted.
A Good read but lost it's credibility a bit here:Try this

Ipswich and Oxford could also have a case, but the latter were relegated by a margin of four points so even a default victory being retrospectively applied would not change their fate, and Ipswich won automatic promotion.
Oxford won the ****ing match!!!

They’re waiting to see if he gets banned so can terminate that way with presumably no termination fee
