Or the scousers setting off a chain of negative impact events when they tapped up our best player....

Yep, ditto

It is feasible, if not overly plausible, that Tonda was ignorant of the rules and those above him didn't know (or care) how he was gathering data, so had no reason to question him on it. As I say, as unlikely as that sounds, we can't rule it out 100%, can we...? #benefitofthedoubt

Nail. Head.

IF the appeal is successful (ain't gonna happen) then i genuinely think the club should consider forfeiting the game Vs Hull and let them go through. Yes, I know such a bonkers view will attract the usual pelters from the self-appointed forum thought police, but it would go massive way to rescue what's left of our tattered reputation.... Anyway, ain't going to happen do all moot...

I disagree... SR aren't anywhere near as clever / canny as Gibson... We'd have conceded the situation with a whimper...

As part of the appeal, maybe we should insist that the EFL impose a two-way transfer embargo on us for a year...?

Are SR not responsible for leaving the club's 'Compliance Officer' post / team vacant for several months (as we e been led to believe is the case). One would have thought that was at least a contributing factor here...?

No. I'm under the impression that the lawyer(s) we've hired might not be the best available. Gibson 'went large' by hiring "one of the best" sports lawyers in the land, we (seemingly) didn't....

Hand the club back to Katharina... Bring back Cortese and Pochetino, and go again... (I must stop eating large quantities of cheese before going to bed... 😂)

Yep... Footballers aren't, in general, the brightest bunch, so it's plausible they took this intel at face value rather than being naturally inquisitive as to where this 'magic' new data came from. If my boss suddenly started giving me 'inside info' on our competitors, I'd certainly be curious as to how he obtained it...

They need to have a chat with @SaintlyAnd's mate!

Unfair Contracts Terms Act...? https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1977/50 If only we had a top notch lawyer...

Ironically, if Millwall had lost to Middlesbrough in April, rather than beaten them, that points swing would mean that Millwall would now be in the final...

Another question... (Not rhetorical this time)... Is this new panel formed of people from the same arbitration company (i.e. Sport Resolutions) or from a different company / organisation? If from the same company, the instinct of the people on the new panel will be not to undermine the decision of their colleagues, won't it? Surely this new panel needs to formed from.a completely separate source for us to stand any chance of a significant overturn? (Whether or not we deserve anything at all from the appeal)
