Tonda Eckert is the man He sent a spy to watch your nan Dragan said he's staying at at the club And now he's taking Southampton up

Everywhere we go Everywhere we go It's Southampton spies, making Boro cry Everywhere we go

To the tune of Adams Family: We're spying on your mother We're spying on your brother We spied on all the others Tonda's red army

FFS. This might be the worst post I've ever seen on here. This touched more lives because people couldn't attend a football match? Yeah that's much worse than a smaller number of children being sexually abused you utter dinlo.

The points deduction isn't getting dropped now. Those proceedings are over.

Not sure how anyone can read that statement and think we might take legal action. Seems pretty clear to me that we're wanting to draw a line under it and move on.

Sorry but I don't care how much he loves the club or how committed he is. Absolutely miles out of his depth and his position is untenable. Can we have a poll?

If you heard about another football club you'd barely believe that they could genuinely handle it that badly. When its Sport Republic's Southampton though it's incredibly believable and not at all surprising.

Laughable that they're essentially owning up to not bothering with their own due diligence at the time.

The problem is the EFL clearly don't think it's a stupid rule and neither do the clubs who wanted it in the first place. If it's a widespread belief that it's a stupid rule then it'll get binned this Summer...

If clubs want rid then it'll go, if they don't it'll stay. Not sure why this incident will changed the mind of clubs who wanted it in the first place though.

Does anyone remember that 'silver goal' rubbish they tried out? If a team was winning at HT in ET then the game ended there.

Could probably speed it up by removing two players from each team every 5-10 minutes until you end up with 5 a side. Not entirely serious but do think it'd become harder to not concede in that situation.

Who's paying for it for the likes of Crawley Town and Gillingham?

Well a majority of EFL clubs were clearly happy with the 72 hour window when it came in.
