Yeah, racism is a different ball park to this though.

Because a 6 month ban on top of what the club had with the expulsion would be totally disproportionate……

If that’s a suspended sentence then it’s a possibility I suppose

Well this is precisely why Dragan has mentioned double jeopardy and why he will go big legally with an appeal should it be necessary.

Everything from a slap on the wrist through to a public execution at dawn in Middlesbrough next Friday !! 😉

What’s wrong with them ffs? Surely if he hadn’t been charged the EFL would have been in an awkward position legally so that was never happening

Can we please get a fkin ban on people posting “ChatGPT thinks this” ? Its totally irrelevant what a computer that searches the internet for what it thinks are corroborating facts comes up with !!

You certainly like running with an assumption don’t you? 🤣

If he gets a ban yes, any other sanction no !

So this could drag on a fair while yet, and presumably if SFC consider the sanction harsh that’ll be when Dragan gets his lawyers to work ?

Southampton Football Club and First Team Head Coach Tonda Eckert acknowledge today’s charges from The FArelating to a breach of Rule E3.1.

I think we always knew he’d be charged with something. Its the punishment that’s the crucial bit and I don’t understand why the FA haven’t announced that with the charge.

Well that’s basically a holding statement then.

Give them time 🤣

Watching King Kev week in week out from under the West Stand as a 13/14 year old kid are memories that have and will continue to stay with me forever. Once a Saint……Rest easy 💔

I’m not sure he’ll make it as a footballer in England as long as he’s got a hole in his arse. If someone reposts this at the end of the season when he’s scored 15 goals I’ll be more than happy to be proved wrong.

If THB leaves he’s going to the Premier League. If he stays here and we don’t go up he goes to the Premier League next summer. If he goes to West Ham now and they somehow screw up promotion he’s stuck there and in the Championship for yet another season.

Not a great record but after the way Larin turned out I’m trusting the process 😬

Funny cos I think the opposite, the longer it goes on the more likely it’ll be a suspended ban or a fine…….. you zig, I zag 🤣

In which case Dragan’s legal team will have a field day with the double jeopardy ruling. They hurt the club as badly as they possibly could by throwing us out of the playoffs and making us start the new season on minus points then to top it off they leave it all bloody summer and ban the manager on the eve of a new season after all the pre season work has been done!!! Even the guilty have rights ya know.

I’m not sure a Premier League club will pay the money we would want for a 28 year old who has never played at that level before. We’ll see over the next 6-7 weeks I guess.

Yeah I agree. I can only assume he’s going there to be back up keeper

I’m sure Tonda will be fully aware of his strengths. I was gonna say I’m sure he’s had him watched but let’s not go there 🤦🏻 One of the things I liked most was after he dropped the 3 central defender disaster (due to no decent right back option) there wasn’t a pattern of square pegs in round holes.

Absolutely this. If they want to ban him it should have been before the start of pre-season, if they do take action against him I still think it will be a suspended sentence. But yeah they’ve dragged this out so I’m pretty sure Dragan’s lawyers can do the same with an appeal.

He may well be given another chance but that needs to involve a loan move somewhere at a lower level for next season.
