@JackLUFC1919 The issue is, if Farke doesn’t get the final say on transfers, we could end up with more Ramazani/Buonanotte situations where we sign a player and he just refuses to play them.
@SJx22_ Yeh Kimi just looks unstoppable atm. The scary thing is, he’s only going to get better too. That’s why I’d like to see George win it this year.
I feel so bad for George Russell.
Wins F2, slogs it out at Williams while Mercedes are dominant, moves to Mercedes as their car falls off the pace, outscores Lewis Hamilton in 2/3 seasons, destroys Antonelli (albeit in his rookie season). 1/2 #F1#MonacoGP
The most revealing line in Southampton’s statement is:-
‘We cannot accept a sanction which bears no proportion to the offence… Southampton has been denied the opportunity to compete in a game worth more than £200 million.’
But that completely undermines their own argument.
If the match is worth £200 million and meant everything to the club, then the incentive to gain any unfair advantage was enormous.
And who exactly were they trying to deny that opportunity to?
Middlesbrough.
You cannot simultaneously argue:
1. The stakes were colossal
2. The offence was minor
3. The punishment should be small
The higher the stakes, the greater the importance of protecting sporting integrity.
@alexcmfc@louorns “We admit we’ve cheated and potentially denied Middlesbrough the chance to play a £200 million game, but we should still get the chance to play the £200 million game.”
@EthanFromOnline They were the laughing stock of the Premier League when he took over there and he’s turned them into one of the most feared sides in Europe.
He doesn’t get the recognition he deserves because everyone seems to hate him and Arsenal.
