Oh, that is absolutely lovely news

[Alfie House @AlfieHouseEcho]

🚨 Understand Saints are in advanced talks to re-sign goalkeeper Daniel Peretz on a permanent deal. Pushing to get done quickly, Peretz keen to stay at St Mary’s and help the club get promoted despite interest elsewhere.

@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

[Connor Armstrong @ConnorArmstrong]

Probably the most sensible and pragmatic reaction I’ve seen amongst all of today’s hysteria #saintsfc

@henrywinter Didn't have the same energy for Bielsa, Henry? https://t.co/SxTUB7jYbR

[Henry Winter @henrywinter]

This is why Marcelo Bielsa was and is and always will be loved by #lufc fans. A good manager and a great man. Munching on together.

@cj_garrett Filming videos in the car getting on the high horse about it too, deary me 😂

[Connor Armstrong @ConnorArmstrong]

@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

[Connor Armstrong @ConnorArmstrong]

@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?

[Connor Armstrong @ConnorArmstrong]

@RyanDilks1 He quite literally does in the full video, but it does require people to go beyond 'gotcha' posts on social media

[Connor Armstrong @ConnorArmstrong]

@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

[Connor Armstrong @ConnorArmstrong]

@Bradzdk52 You'll be getting a block for that 🫣

[Connor Armstrong @ConnorArmstrong]

@DanWrexham I think this is the lawyers and execs hedging their bets against the FA investigation but I don't love the tone of it

[Brad @Bradzdk52]

@MarkDavies67 The pot is well and truly calling the kettle black.

2: Would you keep Tonda Eckert as manager of #SaintsFC?

[Connor Armstrong @ConnorArmstrong]

Two part poll incoming...

1: Should it be possible for Tonda Eckert to stay on as manager of #SaintsFC following 'Spygate'?

[Connor Armstrong @ConnorArmstrong]

@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

[Connor Armstrong @ConnorArmstrong]

@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?

[Connor Armstrong @ConnorArmstrong]

@londeire22 @iansaints1976 We do not need any more apologies we just need them to outline the path forward

[Connor Armstrong @ConnorArmstrong]

@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

[Connor Armstrong @ConnorArmstrong]

@iansaints1976 @SouthamptonFC They've already apologised twice, Ian

[Connor Armstrong @ConnorArmstrong]

@lpp28 @SouthamptonFC They've already apologised twice, how many apologies do people need? Are we that precious?
