So what grounds would the FA need to have to give TE a lengthy ban ? Wouldn’t they risk being in contravention of employment rights at some point ?

Surrey 143-8 but need to see both sides bat. All bowled very well bar Rod’s son in law who was decent many years ago.

Certainly quicker getting down, and better at claiming crosses.

As I understand it we now have some serious lawyers on the case, who will take no shit on our behalf. Not before time. Nevertheless, tick tock SFC. That’s another week of complete silence gone by. You’d better have a pretty large hand grenade to throw when you emerge from the bunker.

Presumably then you still get the covid vaccine 🤦😂

Hasn’t looked all that when I’ve seen him play.

parachute payment type wages.

Why are US copa so fucking stupid ? https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/woman-one-hand-phone-pulled-over-viral-video-b2985303.html

I was never very ambitious but the biggest lesson I learned in my working career was never to assume, check and refer upwards if necessary. Somebody responsible for high level decision making should be the same and take specialist advice if necessary. As in traffic accidents never admit liability even if you were at fault. If what we did was "rife", do we have evidence of that? Decision making has been appalling, communication worse and I truly hope that as CEO if he is truly on holiday he's constantly on the end of his phone. Of course we've been stitched up, but we've allowed ourselves to be.

Thanks for that Duncan. Reassuring to know things aren't maybe as terrible as they first appeared (although still not good.) Do you know if they club believe that Tonda is likely to get canned by the FA?

Is there any evidence of this? Serbia away has been the only decent performance

Merci beaucoup for the insights Christophe 👍🏻🙂

He was really well-liked and appreciated here in Valenciennes, truly. I really liked the energy he put in on the pitch, his determination; he really wasn’t afraid to get stuck in against opponents and often even prevented the goalkeeper from clearing the ball. I do think, however, that he’s not far off securing a place in your team; he needs to build up quite a bit more muscle mass as he’s likely to be given a hard time next season. Personally, I would have liked him to stay at Valenciennes next year. I sincerely wish him all the best. He’s a lovely person.

I'd forgotten about him... Is he good enough for Championship level football, do you think?

I will probably watch a few games to witness (hopefully) the poor attendances, thanks to all the things going on in the Good Old US of A. I really do tip my hat to all those from this country who are spending shed loads of money following England and Scotland to no avail. FIFA and the DJT cult have a lot to answer for.

.

If they do, and it transpires that Eckert's discretions were no worse than Bielsa's (the activity thereof, not which unfit-for-purpose EFL rules happened to be in place at the time), then I hope we've still got the likes of Lord Pannick on stand by to pull the FA up on their inconsistencies. Hell, here's an idea... Maybe we should hire the De Marco legal fella that pulled the strings for Middlesbrough against us... That would be a plot twist and a half!

I was joking, by the way.

FWIW , I am ecstatic they didn't go up as well.

What wages would he demand?

Well, yes. But this is what real camping is like: canoeing on large lakes, burning a log fire at night, separated by long distances from the nearest neighbour, nestled in among tall, stately pine trees. This is Algonquin Park--an hour's drive from where we live.

My friend, that’s precisely the question mark hanging over Tonda; the FA’s investigation could turn things on their head and see Tonda banned for 18 months from sitting on a football dugout, which would allow them to show everyone that the governing body won’t be doing anyone any favours. Even though the prevailing view among the Saints’ supporters is that Tonda should stay on, it remains to be seen what will happen in the coming weeks. We’ll also need to keep an eye on the decision by the board and the club’s management, as they wrote in the statement: “But it is clear that trust must now be rebuilt. This work begins immediately. The club will reflect carefully on the events that have led up to this point, learn from them and take the necessary steps to move forward responsibly.” You are right to take all this in your stride; the damage is done and it is now time to move on for the sake of your club’s great history.

Rasmus, blame it all on Rasmus

Genuinely feel sorry for the tartan army, going to melt under those ginger wigs

Trippier to Wolves good signing for them
