Like the others on here who come by information from the club, I haven’t heard much on this whole situation - Saints are intentionally running a tight ship and I’d have to say I prefer that stance to Boro’s.
One suggestion, though, is that part of Saints’ defence will now point towards the ‘acting in utmost good faith towards other clubs rule’, with Boro’s media witch-hunt cited. There’s also a rather strong case for them trying to influence the independent panel, but we can all see that clearly.
No idea to the extent that this will help Saints’ defence, but Boro certainly haven’t helped themselves with today’s statement.
