@JamesNewman76@SouthamptonFC You’re not. But I want him gone. The reality is anyone who makes a decision like that, will never be a top manager IMO because that decision was so wrong & stupid, it means he’s ultimately not strategic enough to be a top manager & will make stupid mistakes & decisions again.
Well meaning, but completely naive at this time from the FAB. The club will be involved in potentially multiple legal & contractual processes, including the FA process. They won’t be able to really say anything, which will anger the #saintsfc fans even more. Let the dust settle.
Southampton's Fan Advisory Board (FAB) have set out how they believe the club should move forward from 'Spygate' in an email sent to CEO Phil Parsons.

Hull every #SaintsFc fan will be supporting you today. Best outcome the Tigers get promoted, we rebuild & absolutely smash Middlesbrough home & away next season. Never has a team deserved less & got so much. Oh & git rid of every single one of the cheats including Tonda ASAP.
Good morning
Today for me everything that’s happened this week at Southampton FC is hitting home
The #SaintsFc fanbase and all associated should be buzzing and on the way to Wembley for a huge day - gutted 😞
Would be nice if the club actually said or did something and gave those amazing fans some hope ?
Where is the leadership?!?
The #saintsfc punishment doesn’t fit the crime. Hopefully the appeal will be focused on this @MarkJLittlewood said it perfectly. “Its like being sentenced to death if you shoplifted”. It should have been a fine, ban for those involved & suspended points deduction at most. Madness
Its a bad decision but as soon as I saw that statement I knew #saintsfc were done. The legal approach was as bad as the totally unnecessary crime. Sack every single person involved, inc the manager if he knew. The FA should ban them from British football for an extended period.
@Smoggy1604 I am mate. I hope everyone involved is banned from British football for a long time. And if the manager knew. That should include him also.
I honestly don’t know why they didn’t just let Middlesbrough watch #saintsfc train for the 2nd leg of the playoff. That’s literally the fairest equivalent. 😂
To be honest, give legal eyes would have been all over this, if the wording of this statement is an example of how well they are approaching the appeal process, we’re done for. It wouldn’t surprise me if our punishment becomes harsher 😂 Terrible from #saintsfc how not to do it.
Leeds 200k fine #Saintsfc 200m+ fine and -4 points. This is obviously disproportionate. However while it’s a ridiculous decision & should have the penalty reversed by appeal . I don’t see this happening.
🗣️ @GaryLineker on Spygate: "I have to say, I'm not sure the crime warrants this punishment. A giant fine would have probably sufficed."
🗣️ @AlanShearer: "I'm with you, I was expecting a huge fine rather than full expulsion."

@BHirst70361 If the punishment was clearly stated and communicated. Then I agree. My understanding is that is not the case. If I’m wrong, then I would conure with your point.
