Agreed. The Bielsa case amounted to the exploitation of a regulatory loophole whereas the FA will consider Eckert's case a deliberate violation of rules put in place by the EFL. Also, the perceived severity of the EFL punishment on the club will be immaterial to the FA's personal charges against Eckert. Any collateral damage caused by the fallout will likely be considered irrelevant by the KC and two football "experts" chosen to decide a punishment. You can be pretty sure the FA will put forward the case that a severe precedent should be set.

Fernandes's reaction was embarrassing.

It's fine. Jander will be back before the international break! 🎉

I think some here are in for a nasty surprise if they're expecting him to only miss a handful of games.

I suspect a dirt cheap fee but a sky high sell-on percentage.

If they go down the caretaker route, I think Lallana would be a more likely candidate than JWP. Hopefully it doesn't come to that.

Good goal to take the lead but we're losing the midfield battle at the moment.

That's not how it works.

Don't forget to vote for his goal vs Millwall for August goal of the month if you haven't already.

Bristol fans seem pretty pleased Sam Allison will be today's referee. https://www.otib.co.uk/topic/235044-southampton-away-match-thread/ https://www.otib.co.uk/topic/229552-sam-allison/

Wrexham won't be a Premier League club within the next 10 years. By which point, the fanfare will be gone and there'll be no docuseries. I wouldn't be surprised if they're under different ownership. I think they're more likely to get relegated in that period.

Obviously it will be lengthy. Is anyone here really thinking it won't be severe?

It's just a bit of fun the way I see it. Nothing to get upset about.

I'm not sure Manning and Bree are undeniably superior to JWP either tbh.

He better not be.
