Not for me. We finally need to see some common sense and closure here so perhaps a ban for a low number of matches suspended for 2 years. Tonda, the football club, its owners and fans have already been severely punished. To now hand out a harsh ban to our manager would be unjustified and vindictive. We should not be made an example of particularly when you bear in mind what the elite clubs continually get away with. The FA must not turn this into a witch hunt just to satisfy journalists and pundits who are just waiting to make it another big story. Plus it will blow up massively because Southampton FC's lawyers will not take it lying down.

Larin just said to him, 'Can you believe some Boro fans think Lankshear is as good as me boss'

Boro are nothing special. A weakened Millwall almost came away with 3 points.

Fine with that. Just so long as he has no hands-on involvement with our club.

Wow! Didn't see that coming. He will not be missed imo.

Why should Tonda get north of 8 games? We play around 60 games in a calendar year - as you say, an international women's team plays 8-12.

That proves nothing.

I didn't say it was definitely entrapment I said it wouldn't surprise me. You say it definitely wasn't - just curious how you know that.

International managers don't oversee around 60 or more matches in a single calendar year. It's completely different.

Would be surprised if that wasn't the case. Everything about the whole charade pointed to a case of entrapment. I'm convinced Boro knew someone would be turning up that day to check out their training session and they had everything in place including their photographer armed with a powerful zoom lens - strange that he'd have that for a training session.

His record is a very impressive 15 goals in 23 Championship appearances and I'm guessing he'd have started on the bench in some of those last season. That form continued would give him 30 in a season - he may well get more than that.

Appealed against what? We are waiting for the verdict.

We'll see. My prediction is that it will be a feeding frenzy.

Newcastle look a shell of the side they were. Have sold all their decent players and replaced them with dross. Eddie Howe legged it at just the right time and I'm pretty sure he could see what was coming down the tracks.

Wilcox has made such a difference 🙂
