I voted no because I quite like the ruthless bastard approach, and keeping him would really annoy a lot of people.

Yes, it's true. And his son's name is Mel.

The only fair and logical thing to do under these extreme circumstances is to make null and void every single Saints FC result from the day Sport Republic took over until now. By my reckoning that would then put us 14th in the Premier League with Ralph Hasenhüttl back in charge as our manager. It's harsh, but I would be okay with it.

Haven't we been punished enough, damn it!

Carlos Kaiser would be my pick. Notorious con artist, he's perfect for Sports Republic.

Will Salt has today released a statement on his Myspace. “Dear all, This has, as you can guess, been a very unsavoury situation for me and my family. Us Salts are feeling pretty shaken up about it all and I personally feel as if I’ve been put through the grinder. I am hoping the EFlL sea sense and that this doesn’t negatively impact our season…Ings was a good player wasn’t he?”

I think I need new glasses. Instead of "spygate" I've been reading the title of this thread as, "Southgate". I thought this was over 110 pages of Saints fans discussing Gareth Southgate as our new manager. Phew! What a relief!

"If" we are found guilty, I believe we should offer Middlesborough the following. apology.. "Dear, Middlesborough, We're very very sorry for what we've done and we'd like to make it up to you. Please accept this £12 million pound Irish international goalkeeper as a token of our goodwill, and this Danish keynote speaker who is brilliant at breaking things. As an extra gesture, we'd like to highly recommend our former manager Russell Martin to you as a future replacement for your current manager who has obviously been deeply and emotionally affected by this whole sorry saga and who no doubt will be unable to continue in football management as a result of our heinous actions. Yours with love, Southampton FC."

Will Salt's mother, Veruca Salt, has today released a statement on behalf of the family... "This job was our son's golden ticket to the big time. It's nuts that his dream could be cruelly snatched away from him in such a fashion. We feel like our family's reputation is being dragged down the proverbial garbage chute. We want answers! We don't care how, we want them now! Also, does anyone know where I can get an Oompa Loompa?"

"Salt also used his cash card to buy a pair of toy binoculars, a fake moustache/glasses combo, and a Kodak instant camera."

Reminds me of wrestling legend Ricky Morton from the Rock n Roll Express...

I heard through a trusted and well respected club source that we would've gotten away with it if it weren't for those meddling kids, and their dog.

I'm getting the word.... "nonce".

And who could ever forget his memorable international debut against Luxembourg where he heroically kept the score down to only a 1-0 defeat against the might of the Red Lions. A reporter at the time commented that Bazunu, " looked good with the ball at his feet."

On the Stoke forum someone posted this today. I thought it was very apt... "I asked my mate who is a saints season ticket holder to tell me about Bazunu, three words, he said would sum him up perfectly, those three words….he’s fucking shit!! 🙄"
