Hope so.

This is probably the truth of the matter, and for me it is insignificant by comparison to trying throw a bung at officials, or seeking opposition to throw a match. Unfortunately though it gives the FA the opportunity- especially with some media interest - to make a big posturing stance.

Why only half a season, did they send him back ?

Inclined to agree, and he didn't look out of place, and no worse than others at the time. BUT, that was in one of our worst ever teams.

No substance to this but just a fleeting thought: Bringing this back to Tonda, rather than the charge, I see reports talking about Klopp taking the Germany job. Am hoping that he does not see Tonda as the bright young coach to work alongside him (ie do most of the work whilst Klopp does the media rounds). He might have considered Rohl but Klopp has placed him at Salzburg.

I think its make it up as you go along. Influencing factors likely to be, nature and size of those charged, and media furore that could follow . Saints or smaller well hit 'em hard make an example of them , Chelsea/Man City ... 'well we thought we'd impose a token fine, just to send a message out and being seen to be doing the right thing... if that's alright with you that is.... although on reflection we could reduce it a tad ...'

Having a delve through the Transfermarkt pages and found a rumour of Quarshie going to Bundesliga 2 (Kaiserslautern) for €4m.

I’d happily accept a few of those on the bounce. But it might take some heroics from Pickford with the showing of the defence in front of him. Performances so far and I think we should have taken Maguire. * * although no better than Jack Stephens according to posters on here c2014 or 15

And the £25m rated ..

To a point, although we’ve made two early signings (good moves I think all would agree), and rumoured to be close to signing Neil (so back to the drawing board perhaps on that position) before he went to Rangers We’ve been linked with others, Mulligan and Noel Fuck-it (or whatever his name is). No idea how close to the mark or tenuous they are. I’d expect things to ramp up it next couple of weeks. There’s also the WC on, and although we might not be shopping in that market, it will have a knock on effect as to who other clubs might be willing to release.

Great player he might have been, although his managerial career doesn't support him being a 'deep thinker' or master tactician on the game to pass 'expert' opinion.

Yes good move. Building for L1

Yes but they wouldn’t have the same credibility as someone with a stellar management career at Birmingham and Plymouth

Yep. That was a moment of pure individual brilliance.
