Winters two facedness and hypocrisy was sickening. Belongs in the gutter that prick

🤣don’t get me wrong, I’m well aware that ultimately Tonda and SR are the reason we are where we are, not denying that whatsoever.

No one came from Italy and fuckin hated Pompey , quite like Cortese though.

There was actually 2 , also a solicitor who’d previously acted for Middlesbrough in at least 2 different cases.

Even Lowe was a far better businessman and chairman than these fucking clowns

I think one thing certain here, is that the spying definitely began under Tonda, because Will Still sure as shit wasn’t spying on anyone

I said he sounds defensive , which he does. And I meant his appointment could raise suspicions which he was probably aware of before he was appointed to the panel, but was hoping it wouldn’t get noticed, but now it has. So he’s felt the need to come out and defend himself. As I said, it would’ve probably been better to have someone on the panel with zero Middlesbrough connections

The fact no one at our club bothered to question it either says it all. Probably didn’t bother researching their backgrounds. Vintage SR

Mr Winnie sounds very defensive doesn’t he, almost like he knows it’s suspicious but was hoping it wouldnt have been picked up on. Maybe, just maybe, it would’ve been wise for the panel to consist of people who didn’t have prior dealings with Middlesbrough FC; given they’re the club who brought this complaint to the EFL’s attention. Otherwise there was always a very good chance this would be questioned? Was it too much to ask that 2/3rds of an “independent “ panel , hadn’t had previous affiliations with the football club pursuing a very serious far reaching complains against us? Fucking joke in my eyes

Sorry daddy, I was about to crack the case but you’ve just sent me to bed. See you in the morning

The more you delve into this, the more you realise why such an unprecedented decision was reached, that has shocked anyone with a legal background. If you watch the various reaction videos to the verdict , the ones most surprised are the legal representatives.

Because we’re run by incompetent chumps?

That prick would take his own mother to court if he had the chance. I’d take her to court for not swallowing the prick when he was conceived

Let be honest, we’ve only got ourselves to blame and the club deserves everything it gets by the sound of it, as much for pure incompetence and stupidly as anything else, but look at all the circumstances of the ruling and the background of the panel, combined with the ruling being exactly what Boro demanded to the absolute letter…..and there’s no way you can conclude that this was an impartial hearing .

Lydia Banerjee is a prominent UK employment and sports law barrister from Littleton Chambers. In 2018, she was instructed to represent Middlesbrough FC in a high-profile High Court legal dispute against their former manager, Garry Monk. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] The core elements of this 2018 legal event involve: The Legal Dispute Context: Middlesbrough FC sacked Garry Monk in December 2017, only six months after hiring him with the directive to guide the club back to the Premier League. [1, 2] The Claim: In early 2018, Middlesbrough FC launched legal proceedings in the High Court. The club alleged a breach of contract regarding the departure of Monk and his backroom coaching staff, explicitly raising concerns over "player poaching" and the recruitment of Middlesbrough personnel to Monk's subsequent club, Birmingham City. [1, 2] Transfer Irregularities: The dispute widened as the club investigated potential conflicts of interest regarding player transfers negotiated during Monk's brief tenure. Middlesbrough alleged that confidential transfer target information had been shared to inflate agent commissions. [1, 2] Lydia Banerjee's Role Representation: As a specialist in restrictive covenants, breach of fiduciary duty, and sports sector employment contracts, Banerjee acted as counsel for Middlesbrough FC to protect the club’s commercial interests, enforce contractual clauses, and navigate the fallout of the backroom staff migration. [1, 2, 3]

I see. Couldn’t find that anywhere in any chat gpt or google search and believe me I spent a long time searching. Very interesting.

Unfortunately it doesn’t look like that’s true. No idea where they’ve got that from but it’s not in any public’ records that I can see

Blokes a fucking loser. Takes them from 2nd to 5th in his time there, then cries at a post match conference when they lose, and then laps up the chance to play a final via the back door and not via sporting merit, while still moaning about how stressful things have been and taking the public moral high ground whenever he can. I expect he also insisted on gender neutral toilets at the training ground

Quite. We’ve hoovered up his bullshit for too long now

In what world does a CEO of a company keep his job , when his complacency and ineptitude, lack of proactively - whatever you want to call it, all added into one, has cost the business a very likely 200 million pounds plus? The thing is, I wouldn’t put it past him to keep his job with this lot running the show. I actually think he will

I genuinely hope they go bust, and I wouldn’t even wish that on Pompey

Gibson basically has the EFL in his pocket, and because of this we were probably always likely to face expulsion once he’d got his claws into this case, but the fact we made it as piss easy for them as possible I expect even shocked them at how easy it was to throw the book at us with no comeback or reasonable defence or cross examining. Pathetic from saints but the outcome has been totally controlled by Middlesbrough from the very start as they saw us as an easy target for their own gain, particularly when Parsons tried to go cap in hand to the most ruthless and most connected chairman within the EFL. Embarrassing all round.

So They made sure they still pretty much sat in on the ruling anyway, indirectly. Unbelievable we let this happen without any objection. Seriously, what the fuck is going on?

Exactly! You could read between the lines on Hellbergs comments before the first leg that he clearly wasn’t fit , when said words to the effect of “we hope he can play some part in the tie, even if it’s the return leg and from the bench”. I mean fuck me , the moment he said that I thought to myself he won’t be featuring at all in this tie.

Yep, I’ve been saying this since the minute the initial punishment broke
