Which begs the obvious question, why wasn't Bielsa made an example of to stop this happening again?

I think you'll find it's a legal requirement these days.

Thanks Pete, what dates are you available? 🙂

No doubt this will be fully covered by the ethics policy of Southampton FC as with any company. I'm sure all staff would have completed ethics training to make them aware of all rules and regs. I know it happened at every company I worked for in recent times.

Yeah, ok 🙂

Might cost them a few bob if we win an appeal though 🙂

Unless Sky are factoring in an appeal from us. I guess it's feasible that could potentially be resolved by the end of the break.

Only if you believe the mantra that all publicity is good publicity. I'm not so sure they'll want to make themselves look foolish especially given the leniency they show to elite clubs. Double standards won't go down well.

Why should Wrexham have got into the play-offs?

If they do they'll make themselves look foolish and should expect a significant backlash. The more rational among the game's fans MSM and pundits will make their views known.

The vast majority of fans are reasonable individuals and have realistic opinions. If the FA decides to hand out an excessive punishment to Tonda they may find they cop a load of criticism from many quarters.

I don't always agree with Simon Jordan but do in regard to his views on the FA potential punishment of Tonda. He believes that the only route to a heavy sanction is the FA deciding it fancies the attention: "If the FA want to make headlines for themselves, and add value to what they feel that their reputation is going to be burdened by, then they'll do something ridiculous." That's exactly how I see it.

Of course it's relevant because I'm responding to a post citing that fans from other clubs have criticised us. I'm pointing out that it's a certainty that some of those fans clubs have done the same thing whether those fans admit it or not. It's a fact acknowledged numerous times by people within the game one of who I know and trust.

Well you've been banging on since the year dot that you think he's useless so it's a fair guess that you've always hoped he receives a lengthy ban - just applying logic.

I guess you're still hoping Tonda receives a long ban so that the club is forced to sack him?
