Well, Mr Harris has been up on a charge at the FA so many times that other managers probably look at him as an excellent example of the sort of behaviour that can get a ban. Tonda's alleged offences pale in comparison to the sort of things that Harris gets up to.

I'm not sure I'd have wished that on him. Maybe just that he goes paintballing and gets shot in the nuts so that it causes discomfort for a period when he sits down.

We don't waste time with taking people to court, we just kill them.

You could say he’s got some balls but not sure that’s true as recovered from testicular cancer

It hardly endangering life - if there was an emergency worker in the boat (which i couldn’t see) they would have stepped into his boat. If they had refused to let the emergency worker on a different matter. Storm in a teacup and all politically motivated. Bet he gets a Jail sentence longer than the guy who captained the mega boat and endangered over one hundred lives

I had no idea the LMA was just Harris, representing every league manager on whatever subject.

It's a fact that most if not every club was doing it. They've all stopped now if they have any sense but most were doing it as confirmed by people within the game.

I get that. Having a bland opinion isn't going to get them clicks is it. The gall of someone claiming to be the spokesman of every manager in the football league (particularly because many of those managers will have engaged in similar things clearly.) What a bellend that man is and I wish him nothing but misfortune.

I know right - in a fair world the BBC would have come to St Mary's weeks ago and their Sports Editor Dan Roan would have done a one-to-one interview with the club's CEO, giving him the opportunity to put forward the club and Tonda's case in his own words. They would have filmed it, and put it on the BBC football homepage in both written and video format. At the same time, they would have interviewed Tonda, asking for his thoughts and views and giving him the chance to get his points across as well. Then they would have published both of those stories several days earlier, giving them much more time to be seen by more people. But as if that would ever happen

I think you’ve massively over thought this. He’s probably one of the few managers who could actually be arsed to join the conversation with an opinion, especially given it’s a week off for a lot of them. Not everything is a conspiracy against us. It just so happens the stronger view points will be clipped up and put out because otherwise people aren’t going to talk about their content.

Well, he's not going to be piping up now, admitting to breaking the rules himself is he. Anyway, he's too busy getting banned himself every five minutes for abusing the ref. It's not beyond the realms of possibility that every manager in this division wants a promotion rival to be scuppered, but I'd be amazed if this half-wit has gone around all the 72 managers in the EFL and genuinely sought their opinion, or if he's just woken up from a drunken stupor, had a microphone shoved in front of him and decided unilaterally that he is the voice of all managers everywhere.

BBC clearly do care what he thinks and they also think the masses need to hear it as well, hence sharing on their social media channels

Who the fuck cares what some no mark lower league jobsworth rentagob thinks? I'd be saying the same if he was supportive of us as well.

It really is a grossly irresponsible piece.

TBF I don't think we were entirely truthful at the start or at least appeared to be concealing stuff which is part of the issue. That doesn't appear to be the case with the FA investigation though so you'd hope we'd get some credit for that. I just don't see what they hope to gain if they ban him to the extent that we have to fire him. The punishment on the club is severe enough that I highly doubt anyone will do it again so the deterrent is in place. He's made a mistake and deserves some punishment but it has to be proportionate. Racism is imo much worse and that's ten games.

Just a coincidence, of all the managers they happened to speak to just happened to be one that had not only an extreme viewpoint on it but also was able to tell them that all the other managers in the league agreed with him 🤣 Fucking hell and people nod along thinking its all transparent honest reporting the day before the hearing

Indeed we have. And the proverbial book has been chucked at us in return as if it's the crime of the century.

Agreed, of all the managers they just happened to interview one with the most extreme of opinions.

I agree. We haven't done that though have we. We've put our hands up, admitted liability and pleaded for leniancy.

I thought they were going to be cheese and onion, turns out it was just boring old ham and pickle.

No. He needs to quite simply put his hands up, admit that he f**ked up and hope for some leniency for being honest. If he starts spinning some yarn about how he told an analyst to go and spy on his opponents within the allowable period but they, "accidentally turned up a couple of days late for some unknown reason and accidentally spied during the forbidden period, which just happens to be most beneficial to me as a manager but I didn’t know about the 72 hour rule honestly, but yeah this happened by accident on three separate occasions against Ipswich, Oxford and Boro," then he’s going to start looking a bit silly.

Is Parsons going with him?
