@evreythingsaint Was only social media muppets critical beforehand! International with 90 caps (a goal every 3 games for them) Experienced at club level... MLS, Turkey, Belgium, Spain & Holland. Scoring 120 in 360 games (1 in 3 average, which is brilliant) Great Championship signing from Day 1!
@KieranMaguire@JBurtTelegraph That isnt a guarantee to work forever is it? Only needs a few transfer windows not to quite work out (see Southampton...). So their model will only work if they can continue to unearth and polish a few gems, and if they get it wrong, they could be in trouble? No margin for error?
@alex_crook Wouldn’t take much for you to read the statements in full would it? They’ve held their hands up and taken responsibility in every statement so far. There is an FA and internal investigation ongoing, so not much more to add yet, is there?
@JustSaints_ They already apologised in the first statement and again in this one, why do we need them to keep doing it? They’ve owned it and held their hands up, but understandably have some legal questions around the panel, etc.
@AdamBlackmore@saintsworldfc Are people forgetting we’ve already had the apology statement? They don’t need to repeat the same. I’m glad the club are showing some balls and calling out how wrong it was to have certain people on the panel, etc. They’re also holding their hands up and accepting responsibility.
@SimonHarrisMBD Well said @SimonHarrisMBD. He's just a kid, he only turned 19 a few months back. He may not be everyone's cup of tea, but people need to remember how young he is and clearly how fragile he is feeling under all of the pressure. Looks like he needs a break from the sport to me.
@CFCKaz6_ Toney was class in the Premier League too, easily our best goalscorer after Kane. I dont think because he's played in a lesser league for a season or two, he suddenly loses his abilities.
@AlfieHouseEcho@TotalSaintsPod I think based on this tweet from Boro’s KC, the written report is going to be very damning for us. The fact they didn’t even remove the -4, shows we didn’t have a leg to stand on 😔
@Saints_Vet He probably got a call about 8 hours ago and told ‘if you can get us off, you’ll get a £5,000,000 bonus’ 😆 Worth a punt, even if you’re thinking chances are slim!
@grandoldteam To add a little context, Southampton were saying the 'opportunity' to win promotion (and the finances that brings) is what's been taken away from them.
@JmlJourno This is out of context. If you read the previous paragraphs, they are saying that the 'opportunity' is what's been taken away from them, and the 'potential' of a £200m+ windfall. Not the guarantee of winning the game.
@Alan19673@SkySports_Keith You know, the relegation/promotion Playoff, like they do in Germany & France? Two clubs who arent quite good enough for top flight football, get the chance to battle it out to play with the big-boys.
@EFL_Comms Surely the simplest solution is for the Playoff 'Final' to now be between #Spurs & Hull? Like they do in Germany & France?
Neither team quite good enough for the Premier League, but get the chance to battle it out for a place with the big-boys next season.
