What ??

Like many of us there are times you post utter crap, but that’s a good and interesting post. I know you’ve commented on SR several times with a bit of an insight into them and Dragan. A couple of questions though in case you can shed light on it. Hasn’t Dragan lost control of his media group? And with it perhaps both some wealth and influence. Have read about his business success and empire a few times but intrigued as to how he hasn’t transferred those talents to SFC. The phrase I’ve used a few times is that he seems a magnet for buffoons at Saints with those in charge or positions of influence. Personally I was disappointed by our handling of this episode and what has been published about Parsons. I’d have hoped that Dragan would be at the forefront putting Gibbo back in his box.Cortese or Lowe would have been at the forefront (even if there had been some blustering from Rupert). Agree with you about Katherina Liebherr being involved. Perhaps she and her son can magic up some Swiss billionaires to put some cash in to go along with Solak.

I saw Gerrard mentioned the other day. Not keen on the idea at all and in the past been quite hostile to the idea. But it did occur to me that if he came the media would see us as ‘Gerrard’s Southampton’ , which at least gets us away from ‘cheating,playoff expelled Southampton’. But apart from that he’d probably be mediocre and sacked by November.

Won’t be long before some old favourites are mentioned. Roger Schmidt above is one, but let’s not forget Lucien Favre, and going back a some years Phil Brown.

Agree, but not a quality you’ll find in many managers prepared to work at a tarnished Championship club will have.

Sincerely hope not.

RB was a regular annual rumour a few years ago but long gone.

Seen previous reference to this video but have missed it. Can you post a link please ?

Sounds as if he didn’t grasp the seriousness of the offence, and thought an all too matey confession and saying ‘sorry’to Middlesbrough and all would be okay, albeit with a fine. Unfortunately he probably flagged up how feeble the clubs response would be. To the point that Middlesbrough saw the green light to go for the jugular.

But no one saw fit to question or challenge it.

I thought the panel were all from a legal background.

Middlesbrough weren’t involved in the hearing so Gibbocunt having a shit hot lawyer or a team of them is irrelevant. But you’re right should have had our best representation asap, probably even before Parsons opened his trap

Alternatively we could spend millions pursuing an action for it to come to nothing. Whilst I agree with you that there is a lot that is unsatisfactory we could be chasing shadows. What would a few million be better spent on next season, a CF and GK or a legal team of KC’s ?

Isn’t it a bit late to “get the analysts and media team off their arses and start presenting our case”?

No he could have guided Parsons or at least brought someone in to warn him not to behave like a simpering imbecile looking to make amends in full view of everyone at Middlesbrough (if Telegraph report to be believed).
