Very true and it is ridiculous but remember Man City's lawyers kicked their can down the road for several years.

Easy. Our learned friends are now involved.

True .... but how can it be improper if there is no rule against it and it is permissible for all the clubs under the FA's umbrella except for the 72 clubs in the EFL? I appreciate that I am arguing over semantics but that after all is how many of our "learned friends" earn their living. I guess that is why there is currently a delay.

Why is everyone so convinced that Tonda will get a ban from the FA? The FA have no rule prohibiting spying so how can he be punished by them if he has not broken an FA rule? The EFL has a rule but we have already been punished by them for that transgression. The delay in any sort of announcement could well be because the FA cannot punish us for breaking a rule that doesn't exist.

Now that the stone has been lifted , what other horrible creepy crawlies will emerge? How are Citeh's offences different from Chelsea's for which Chelsea only received a slap on the wrist? Chelsea's case may have involved cooperative new owners but a few years ago that didn't save Luton from a draconian penalty. I hope that we are not also found underneath a similar stone. Gao's proposed LD sponsorship a few years ago sounds similar to what Citeh were up to with their owners. Did we ever benefit from it?

WBA last season were docked points when spend on charities was treated differently from previous seasons.

After being so cross, less than a year ago, that we had appointed Tonda as manager (" typical SR . Trying to be too clever. Doing it on the cheap. etc ") I think that I will wait before judging any new manager.

10.30 am Friday morning. 3 game ban. 3 games suspended. £50k fine.

Apparently Chelsea's punishment was reduced by 50% due to their self reporting and their full cooperation. Have we cooperated fully? Did we self report? Does it really matter as Chelsea were always only going to get a slapped wrist?

Bullying is rife in most sports. When he delivered his infamous hairdryers wasn't Ferguson bullying his players?

Why on earth would he walk?? I would like to think that Dragan knows a few good lawyers. If man city's can kick their charges into the long grass for year after year, so can Dragan's.

Who? Pompey fans???

So the bill gets defeated in the House of Commons. I respect the views of those who supported it and they have some good arguments, but I am pleased that it failed. Euthanasia / state sponsored killing is a dangerous path to go down and any such bill clearly needs more safeguards than were contained in this bill.

No and yes but last night it worked for us

I don't know why everyone is so upbeat. We may have scored more goals than Swansea but they had more possession than us. Russell wouldn't be happy
