@AlanBiggs1 I don't think SFC responded well but I think we need to calm down on throwing the B word about. That word is not in any formal reports. Nobody was sacked for refusing to take part or expressing discomfort after it came to light + the intern in question has been given a F/T role
@AlfieHouseEcho For sure. He's pragmatic, he needs promotion now (before the parachute money totally runs out) and that's more likely to be achieved by keeping Spors and Eckert across the running of the football dept than by ripping it all up + starting again from scratch 8wks before new season
@DanLang12@MsiDouglas Refreshing to see this from someone who isn't a Saints fan. It's how I feel but then I appreciate that I'll never be emotionally detached enough from the club to be without bias. Is the club meant to just tear itself apart to satisfy an angry social media mob on the internet?
@DuncanHolley Yeah, I am finding the pearl clutching a bit much. It was a bad mistake and the club has to put its big boy pants on and deal with the consequences. But crime of the century, it was not. Far more nefarious things going on in football. Take the punishments and keep it moving
@AdamBlackmore I am assuming it's more to do with being guided by the lawyers and circling the wagons but thought it was a curious development and might indicate something else. There's been a real lack of solid, considered leadership throughout this whole debacle IMO
@AdamBlackmore Agreed, after 2 wks of silence you expect a better and more thorough breaking of cover than that
Is there anything to read into with the fact the statements prior to the appeal conclusion were titled as 'from Phil Parsons' and they are now just club statements with no bylines?
@lpp28@SouthamptonFC If they apologise six times would it be meaningful? I just want them to sort things out, not repeatedly apologise to us when they already have. Has the refund not come through yet? Mine dropped in on Friday
