It didn’t take place in the Premier League.

Ahhh, literal human sacrifices. I was wondering what new low the USA was going to sink to next.

Which is a long winded way of saying if he beats Pompey he’ll still be a fraction worse than Martin in terms of PPG. Like I said, he needs to up his game before we start talking about bigger clubs snatching him away.

Your idea of 'proportionate' implies a punishment where you have a net gain relative to the offence you have committed. I.e. We cheated to win the playoff semi final, we should be allowed to keep that and given a punishment which comes up short in comparison. A bit like saying the punishment for robbing a bank is that you have to give back half the swag you steal. It's not a punishment and there's no reason not to keep doing it. Needless to say your opinion (and that of many other Saints fans) would completely flip if it had been the Skates caught doing this.

I'm not sure the demand for Tonda elsewhere is anything close to the other managers you've mentioned. Right now he needs to pull his finger out just to match Russell Martin's points tally. When he gets us promoted and we're having a solid PL season, then I'll start worrying about him getting poached by bigger clubs.

The EFL punishment was proportionate, they were never going to let us benefit from cheating. No amount of claiming that spying doesn't affect what happens on the pitch and whataboutery will change that.

"Saints were desperate for a win to save Wigley from the axe." Erm…. I don’t think we were.

I think you’ve misunderstood. A ‘suspended sentence’ is just the legal jargon way of saying a public hanging. It’s harsh for an offence like this but the law is the law.

Good, finally we can draw a line under this and move on. Time to start delivering a bit more on the pitch now.

Nothing is being announced in the next twenty minutes.

Carson is just saying whatever he needs to for his ‘controversial opinions’ to get air time, it’s nothing new or interesting. It'll be interesting to see the US response to this woman who has apparently survived execution. She is quite clearly guilty of a heinous crime and yet she has also quite clearly been spared by the will of God. Surely they have to let her go free, she was put to death and miraculously came back to life three days later.

I was referring to this summer when we signed him permanently.

If Peretz, JWP, Larin and the guy with 100 Bundesliga appearances weren't 'safe' signings, I'm not sure who you were expecting.

He's a 21 year old, 6'0" Man City youth prospect with 26 Championship appearances last season. He's clearly talented and not a bad signing as an option to Cyle Larin, it just doesn't seem to be happening for him yet. I think people need to accept that we're not really going to get a better player to sit on the bench in the Championship.

I’m not legally minded but I’m not sure a NDA is really applicable to this situation. If something is still being disputed it makes complete sense to do so privately and discreetly.
