You've got to be joking. El Chapo can't even afford to pay security, let alone breach FFP. If he spent less time fighting silly legal battles, they might have not been a mid table championship side for how ever many years.

The last sentance has got the jucies flowing. I'd love it if we put in a counter claim against them for not acting in upmost good faith and trying to unsettle us.

At what point does kicking us out become even more unfeasible. Along side us selling tickets, they'd need to work through refunding, there is then another arguement from Hull in that they only had X days to prepare to play Boro.

hahahahaha I fear for a few up in the north east today. I suspect a few blood pressures will be risen to dangerous levels.

I would imagine that is the defence. I dont believe it personally, but provinig it is the thing here.

Exactly. EFL: "We want to see your (who are they defining as your in this case) text messages, emails and bankstatements" Saints: "we had no idea about it. What do you specifically want to see? Here are all of our emails to said person(s) between x dates" whilst deleting any text / emails that might implicate. EFL: "oh there's nothing there" Saints: "yes we told you that" The idea that they're going to send in some hit squad to knock the doors off of St Mary's and seize electionics and forensically investigate them is comical.

Exactly how I see it. All talk of us being booted is so that it benefits Boro more so than a punishment to us.

I think there is an arguement that if we get kicked out, they should have been entiltled to a crack.

I'd be amazed if the club haven't privately noted that. Its very much towing the legal line atm of no comment. When all is said and done, I'd imagine we will have our say - if we haven't already in private. It was notable how that werid sweedish fella changed his tune somewhat in the press before this game.

Outside of jurnos in the north east & their werid club, noone seems to really care. Its seen as a bit of a joke. You'd have thought the Skate would have been all over it, but even they don't seem to be making much noise about it.

Probably their board memeber, who is also part of the EFL board. Expulsion will lead to a legal battle that the EFL wont be prepared for (not just from us, but from wrexham as well i expect).

Yep. I saw a handful of them online yesterday trying to convince themselves that if we go on to win the play-offs, we have commited fraud.

Complaint has been lodged with the EFL. Getting a load of jurnos to write up about their demands, feeding a frenzy of cry babies going online wont change that. Genuinely, i'd be more ashamed of my club for the way they have dealt with it than I am the fact we done it.

Is this real? I'd genuinely consider banning them from St Mary's if so. They way they have handled this is embarrassing and boarding on unprofessional.

I've seen so many of them saying stupid things like "the whole of the footballing world want us to win now" From what I've seen, other than press in the north east, former players, fans and 'the voice of reason' Troy Deeney noone else really seems to care all that much.

we do...

reckon there is very little chance of them selling anyone to us in the near future 😃

excluding all of the spy drama - did anyone else notice the weird siren they had going on when Peretz took a goal kick. I thought the skate bell was annoying... how on earth could you sit next to that each week.

A shame really. There is noway someone who's been out for as long as he has would be 'match fit' in such an occasion.

what a daft thing to think.

if its on the public pavement off the the clubs property, how can they be held accountable?

Which, if I haven't been clear, is my point.

The EFL know better than to mess with Steve 'el chapo' Gibson. (as derby found out when he tried to claim for 40m and wound up with about 3m. NEVER MESS WITH STEVE GIBSON)

I'm told its an adapted version. Peretz brought it from his former IDF days.

For what its worth, I'd agree. I guess we don't and wont know those details until after the charge has been confirmed and closed. I'd be amazed if it was anything more than a iphone / small video camera (go-pro etc).
