No the charges specifically relate to the spying.

I was thinking about that but looks like it'd be a nightmare to get out of.

I think the difference the EFL rule makes on the FA side is that there is no longer any doubt whatsoever that doing this is an improper way to act. Biesla (like Tonda) said he didn't know it was frowned upon in the UK. That was believable at that time but quite clearly isn't now given a specific rule was implemented outlining that this behaviour isn't deemed acceptable. For me that's the difference and why Tonda's improper conduct will be seen as more serious than Biesla's.

Thought I'd see how excited the Boro lot were getting, bit weird that they have over 100 posts on a charge everyone knew was coming.

The 200k was a club fine and not for Bielsa (though he did end up paying it).

They are judging him on their own rules, specifically the one about bringing the game into disrepute. Breaking the rules of a competition effectively sanctioned by the FA is quite clearly bringing the game into disrepute. Never understood why people convinced themselves that just because the FA don't have a specific spying rule that they couldn't charge him. They've confirmed that it's for the spying now anyway.

It's intentionally vague so could be anything really.

Not sure how you've concluded that? Breaking a competition rule the club signed up to could easily be construed as bringing the game into disrepute.

It's fixed now. Just got in and bought mine.

Not really. Unallocated works fine. Think we had it at Doncaster last season and it's much better imo.

New system coming in next season. Will be on a 3 year period and apparently not just away games will earn points.

Anyone else unable to login? Edit - sale delayed to 10:30 due to problems with ticket site 🤣 You know the new season is nearly upon you when there's a Saints ticket shambles.

Yeah I vaguely remembered that but wasn't sure if that was for Wembley only. I'm sure our previous Wembley trips haven't counted as away credits.

The reset used to be for the previous season though? Don't think we've ever counted from two seasons ago or at least not recently. Start of season is always the previous season only.

Skates was 'A+' last season as they took advantage and set ludicrous prices.
