It seems that the more I hear about the sad saga, the less I know about it. Nothing coming from the Club themselves is astonishing.

And that's my point we should have. Parsons rolled over like a good little doggy
Feeling very subdued this morning. Can't even muster any anger at the moment.
As in we should have questioned who was on the panel? I feel like it's semantics at that point, based on what's come out, I don't see how a different panel would have made a different decision. I'm not sure on some of the finer details but we appealed to a different panel didn't we who agreed?
I would have been leaving home right now.
But instead, just sitting here, gutted.

Almost certainly wouldn't have made the blindest bit of difference, but we got a whole 2 points shaved off for being compliant. Should have totally ****ed them about instead if that's all it was worth

Read every thread & post. Don’t comment too much but absolutely gutted, sad, feel cheated by my club. Spoke to my son y’day & like at lot of other (probably) won’t renew our ST’s. What a **** show. A club I’ve feverishly followed & supported since very early 70’s. Disgusted by the “apparent” senior management & board level arrogance. Tarnished, tainted & cheated. Lost my love. So so sad
Absolutely gutted to not be on the way to Wembley with me arl fella! Saw him last night & we made light of the situation, but having not been able to reach the semi due to family commitments with my partner fam, really feel like one of those great rare days out with my Dad at a special game been torn away (as I’m sure all of us feeling exactly the same in our own way)
All this said… me and the mrs are in the sunny Cotswolds lapping up this glorious sunshine. It could be a lot worse, would encourage all of us to try get some of that Vitamin D to ease the pain!! Ignore the noise & up the Tigers, enjoy whatever you all get to do with this lovely Saturday Saints fans & as always Up The (not so) Super Spying Saints!!

More I think about it, the more I’m keen on Parsons going before Tonda.
I would support that approach. But I am not sure how many of the players would
Thought his statement was pretty terrible as an unbiased observer. They should all have the decency to walk.
His statement was appalling. Basically amounted to "Oh but look at Chelsea and Luton doe!!!" and saying we had a £200m punishment when we still had a game to win.
Him trying to minimize the Luton punishment just cos of the finance aspect was pathetic. Dropping out of the EFL is a much bigger deal than missing out on promotion.
I do wonder what would have happened had this emerged a bit later and you won today.
We might well have been able to delay it until after today if we didn't respond the day of the charge with a lie, and then have that clown rock up in the Boro boardroom the following day saying "sorry about that, we'll pay a fine".
The whole amateur nature of both the spying itself and how we've handled the charges is much more annoying than the fact we did it or the punishment handed down.
Maybe I'm in the minority, but I've never been overly concerned whether other fans or the media like us or not. I'd almost prefer to be "hated" so the players and manager can use that as fuel throughout the season.
Fan's still like and support players/club managers that have actually commited crimes that are serious i.e. sexual assault or manslaughter which is insane.

Unfortunately for me personally, the stink is still there and if it's true he A) didn't know the rules well enough to know what he did was wrong and B) pressured staff to do things they didn't want to do, then I don't really wish to support a club that fosters that sort of culture just because things are going okay.
Also if we continue and play well without spying then it makes question why the **** we did it all in the first place.
But most importantly this is a serious **** up that was clearly systemic and it needs to be treated like the club as such and heads should roll for this, especially from those who knew and sanctioned it.
I couldn't care less if other fans like us. As I said the other day that's a skate mentality imo.
I think next season is going to be fun being a pantomime villain for the first few months. Especially if we do well.
Hull would have been awarded the Premier League place by default.
Yes, interesting, likely us expelled leaving Hull to go through.
Probably the better outcome than to reinstate a team already knocked out.
