I just don't see how we can have any stability whilst the FA Charge hangs over him (assuming it will come). Continue for now, spend pre-season with him in charge, then find out he gets banned just before the season starts. Then we're scrabbling around for out of work folk. A really Sport Republic approach would be to suspend him for a year, send him off to France / Turkey, and have Lallana cover for that year. But, hopefully we just go and recruit the best person we can find.

We must think it's relatively widespread, if anything is read into the section of Parsons' statement about creating a working group to ensure the rule is properly understood and implemented (or words to that effect). If that is the case, it seems unlikely there would be a proactive attempt to unearth other instances unless evidence is provided by a third party, as it could open a massive can of worms.

Perhoops twooo ooop twooo dooon, liiike?

Added a laugh so you could get the full house.

I dunno, surely they would have thrown everything they had at it. This was their chance.

Inshallah, but I don't think even Oxford or Ipswich got involved. It all came from Taylor and then coroborated by Salt.

Yeah. Again, why are we responding so quickly? Stupid.

To be fair, whilst you're correct, it is not at all uncommon, even in much larger businesses.

In fairness, they instructed good lawyers but I think the damage was done by Saturday lunchtime (i.e. pretty much immediately) by Parsons' apparent boardroom confession and our instant cooperation with the EFL. He should have just said, "Sorry you feel aggrieved. I don't know anything about this. We will look into it."

The best comment I saw on Twitter after yesterday's match was, "I'm surprised the spy managed to stay awake."

Looks like a prune with pubes.

They probably do have confidentiality agreements. Hard to enforce against legitimate whistleblowers though. And what are you going to do anyway, sue some penniless intern?

And Norwich, probably. I would see them as the likely best of the current crop.

If Hull can go up this season, we can go up next season.

I hope we absolutely smash them next season.
