Without knowing contractual details and how this shit show affects them, I can see players geeded up by their agents looking at some sort of recompense as they have been denied the opportunity to double their wages if the team had made it through to the Prem on Saturday. It will certainly be the case that those worthy of moving to Premiership clubs will be more than happy to entertain offers from other clubs and the Saints Board will be in no position to stand firm on valuations. This is a shit show that will have repercussions for many years to come. A lot of people have sniggered on the position that Leicester (and to a much lesser degree Sheffield Weds) have found themselves in. We may be able to avoid their plight but I can easily see us in a battle against the drop next season with the hope of mid table obscurity. Just to think our collective joy last Tuesday with optimism at the highest level for some time and look at us now........ gloom, doom and plenty of empty seats next season.

I wonder if there is anything in our Sponsors deal which means that bringing their names into disrepute means contracts are cancelled and repayments have to be made? Meantime absolute silence on the Saints website.

Jeez, if that is really a reality with players contracts then we are in deep doo doo.

Suspended sentence? Warning?

Thinking back to when Blackburn were beating 10 man Ipswich 1-0 with only 10 mins to go and the Referee abandoned the game due to a wet pitch. The EFL refused to allow the game to be replayed or to play the remaining 10 minutes at a later date. It the EFL had sanctioned the latter option Millwall would have been promoted. Perhaps Millwall ought to have a go at the EFL

I understand Phil Parsons was royally fucked off at a recent Golf Event. Was this because he knew that: i) the the club's indiscretions had been found out with his knowledge or ii) that he had just found out? At the moment we dont know, so let's wait until more information becomes available

You have to give Bournemouth & Boscombe Albion some credit. Always considered to be our small town friendly cousins down the road and as a consequence a source of quite a few Saints supporters form the Bournemouth/Poole conurbation and now the top team in the region. Fair play to them. Reckon it will be a fair few years before the status quo returns to normal.

I bet Dragan Solak is feeling less than charitable about those dealing with his investment at the moment.

Baz (Long) Bree Stephens Wood Manning (Roerslev) (Loan ???) (Quarshie) (Welington) Matsuki Bragg Aziz Ediozie (Fellows) (Williams) (Loan ???) (Robinson) Archer Stewart/Larin?? (Downes??) (Oyekunle) Manager Who Knows?? Above squad would struggle to compete in the Championship with a 4 point deduction unless Spors can come up with reasonable replacements plus some decent loans. Transfers Out Perez🥲 Downes £10m? Harwood Bellis £20m? Scienza £20m? Jander £20m? Charles £15m? Romeu Free Jelert ??? Fernandez £2m? part of deal with West Ham to take 10% of profit from player sale based on £60m transfer value Loans Out Ramsdale £15m?? Brerton Diaz £5m , or returned to us? Possibility of anything up to £100m revenue, less money owed to clubs to whom we owe money. Attendances Attendances very likely to be adversely affected by current disenchantment unless replacements seem to be suitable. Season ticket sales down to around 18,000 so average attendance at around 24,000 for an average season. I am thoroughly pissed off about news today but I will be back to renew my season ticket next season but have sympathy with those who choose not to renew.

Up until recently, we were the only club, as far as I am aware, who used the tune as their main song to support the team. Spurs then latched onto it and slowed down the delivery, which we followed, to replace their 'Glory, Glory Tottenham Hotspur ditty. It now seems that many teams have now latched onto the song, as Boro did on Tuesday, with quite a few Spurs fans thinking it is 'Their' song!! Perhaps we should complain to the EFL about copyright infringement to negate the 'Spygate' nonsense??

Not sure if this has been covered already within existing posts but wonder what the views are from those at the Northam end regarding the two decisions in the penalty area regarding fouls against Scienza, Larin. From where I was sat it looked that the challenge on Scienza would have been given as a pen on another day. It is easy to complain about the Ref, which I did during the game, but having reff'd games at amateur level in the past, I know how difficult it is to keep a hold on things, particularly when two teams are going at it hell for leather.

I wonder if anyone in this picture can explain in detail what Restore policies are apart from improving the standard of catering and broadcasting in the country?

Ceylon is quite nice too😎

We were sat right next to the Leeds fans for that game and expected to be joined by quite a few of their fans at half time.🙄 Rich Chorley threw his shoe at Rupert Lowe at a SFC AGM, as I recollect. Last I heard of him was that he was living up in Manchester.
