I find it hard to believe that anyone on here would do anything but look for the best possible deal for themselves in his situation. This could well be his last career contract given his injuries and age and the idea that he should take a worse offer because of 'loyalty' is complete nonsense. There is no loyalty in football except from fans to club. None. And we certainly didn't treat his injuries out of a sense of loyalty to him, we had no choice to and were doing it to benefit ourselves.

Wishing a serious injury on him? Really? Weird cunt.

Far too early for him to be fighting at St Mary's. Especially when you consider that we're not a huge boxing city.

Why do people always talk about some nonsense 'pay per play' deal? Never in a million years would he accept that.

Matt Taylor red card in the game at Upton Park?

Well I highly doubt it's the only thing on the FA's list of things to deal with and it's a very busy period for them in general. Might be that they've not actively started the investigation yet or it might be that they're digging deeper into the context where they're not bound by time constraints. Either way I don't think we'll hear anything until the point he is charged/not chatged, and if it's the former we'll then get more details on timelines I reckon. Re Bielsa I'm pretty sure he wasn't charged at all and issued with a warning instead.

It's worth remembering that he's not even been charged yet, they're still at the investigation stage. That means there isn't really any updates to give at this point. If he is charged (which I presume will be under E3 for improper conduct) then we'll hear more about timelines etc I imagine. I highly doubt they're in a huge rush either, the EFL one was obviously extremely time sensitive.

I suspect it's more about contract length than the salary we're offering. He may not find anyone willing to pay him more than what he's on here but if they're willing to offer him 2-3 years it could still work out more in total. At his age and with his injury record I wouldn't blame him if he is thinking about security more than anything else. For similar reasons I'd be surprised if it wasn't sorted one way or the other before the World Cup.

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?
