This Winnie guy probably didn’t show any bias, just like the woman who’s company had represented Boro in their case against ex Saint Gary Monk BUT surely to Christ they could have picked 3 people who had no links to them or Southampton whatsoever couldn’t they? FFS.

That’s bullshit. Had we played and won the final tomorrow then got chucked out fair enough but there’s no guarantee we would have beaten Hull.

Can they not keep their fkin noses out now please !!!

I’m afraid that report is pretty damming, no way he stays.

I take issue with his “every single game” assumption. Unless he’s aware of the set up of every teams training facilities many would not be visible to anyone to spy.

Yes but this is back to that ridiculous gray area where you can do it 73 hours before a game but not 71 hours before. Absolutely crazy

I think Larin will be here. What was the agreed price? 3-4 million? He’s Championship standard, I think the club will want to keep him.

He'll go on and become a great manager. This is all very raw at the moment, and its raw to us. I would think a German 1st Division club for example wont give two hoots. If there is a ban can the FA impose one outside of their jurisdiction? He may get a 6 month ban over here, doubtful he will in Europe.

The only thing Southampton have done correctly is they have kept this lad Salt's name out of the public glare. The fact his picture and name are out there is 100% down to Middleborough and their forwarding the evidence to every media outlet they could possible think of. His name and likeness should only have been for the ears and eyes of the disiplinary panel. I keep reading about this duty of care stuff. Boro dont give a flying fuck about that. I hope they get sanctioned for that alone.

Yes,very true.

I hear what you are saying but we still don’t know the full facts. If the rumours out there are true then yes he has to go…..but what if they aren’t or it’s not the whole story? As with most of this we just don’t know 100%

I guess everyone who will face FA charges needs to be sacked before it gets to that then the club have been seen to act. Whatever charges those involved face can be for their next employer to suck up…..unless as I suspect they move to a European club etc

I can sleep easy knowing that then 🤣

I don’t want Adam fkin Lallana thank you very much

Oh Sky Bet are shithouses. I had a great winning streak for about 3 months, nothing huge only £30-40 a week on the horses and football but when they’d had enough all their boosts and free bets were removed and I had a limit of about 2.30 betting on a horse.

I would still love to know what he wanted to say but couldn’t last week. I guess we’ll never know.

I think Tonda needs to go back to Germany and keep his head down for a while. I’ve no doubt he’ll get a job somewhere in Europe again and he’ll do well having learned the lesson of his life from this mess. Unfortunately that won’t be any consolation for Saints or us. Worst thing is I honestly believe he’s a very talented manager and this was totally unnecessary

Agree 100%. I don’t just want my Wembley money refunded, I want last Tuesdays and all those who went to Middlesbrough should get their tickets and travel costs. They need to start making their peace with supporters NOW !

Whatever the rights and wrongs of their argument you can’t deny it was always going to happen (bar LD of course who questioned what it had to do with them). With a £200 million windfall at stake they would be crazy not to get their lawyers looking into it, especially given spying during the league season has been put on the table.

I think that’s a risk the club would be willing to take. It’s akin to choosing red or black, winner takes all, on a roulette wheel.

No he hasn’t. He’s saying you have to be in it to win it and we’ve been stopped from being in it. The recompensating fans etc will come after we lose the appeal……umm I mean should we lose the appeal.

Not until after the outcome of the apeal they wont. People are just pointing out that for a period of time you will actually have 2 sets of tickets for 1 game having been sold. I dont understand why they aren't waiting until the apperal outcome. In normal circumstances this match would have been postponed and pushed back to a later date, which, appears to have been earmarked as next Thursday evening.

I know this could be realms of fantasy stuff but I do wonder if Boro and their whistleblower only put forward the Oxford and Ipswich cases of spying given we didnt win either game and, had they bought forward "evidence" of spying on Wrexham for arguments sake then the legal minefield would have definitely become more explosive. Just a theory/thought.

Yeah but never mind that, as long as EFL get the game played Saturday at 3.30......or 4.30, thats all they are worried about.

They literally only care about ensuring their showpiece game takes place on Saturday, nothing more, nothing less. Absolute idiots……. But not cheats, like us !
