All this conspiracy stuff about plants and who was on which board is going nowhere and probably isn’t good for your mental health.
We cheated. We got caught. We got punished. Was it too harsh ? Yes probably but there is nothing we can do about it now.
Once due processes have been completed Saints need to sack all of those involved on grounds of gross negligence.
We then need to appoint a Manager and team with experience and integrity in the English game. Not some up and coming wonder kid but an old hand to steady things. It’s time for someone with seniority and standing in the game.
Time will help and there will be future scandals involving other clubs that Saints can point to. The EFL has now set a very high barrier and our case is now a precedent.
One final thing is Tonda Eckert. He is finished with Saints and no doubt will be banned. He has made a terrible mistake which will he will live to regret probably for the rest of his life. But the media vilification of a young man under enormous pressure is disgraceful. The BBC and others have pursued a personal witch hunt allowing comments about his nationality on its comments page. Compared to Bielsa it’s scandalous.
My 60 year old relationship with the club is at an all time low and will take time to heal. But as are my feelings about football and the wider game where cheating has become the norm on and off the pitch.
On a positive note. Summers arrived !! |  |

If all this stuff is true though Heisenberg surely it introduces a slight uncertainty principle into your thinking (sorry couldn't resist...) We live in a world where controlling the narrative is all and the damning spin on all this in the media does in part originate from Gibson and his lackeys being on it from day one (or before!) When we read how dreadful Saints have been we are reading a particular slant on the narrative that is shaped by those who control it. A biased commission is surely extremely important IF TRUE... |  | | |

Sums how I feel unfortunately, not the 60 years bit, 45 for me
For all the moralising and piety I don't think Middlesborough have acted "in good faith" and there are some grey areas to all this, but in the eyes of the law and in black and white facts we've broken the rules pure and simple
On a positive note for me the postman has arrived, new lps by The Coral, Little Barrie and Hannah Peel to listen to |  |

The harsh reality is that Gibson may be a giant tw*t but he's been there, done that on this stuff. He sized it up on day 1 and mobilised his management team and legal mates military style.
Our crack squad was brutally outsmarted and made to look like the proverbial one-legged man in an arse kicking competition. | | | |

I’m all for moving on.
The sooner this is all over the better. | | | |
