@ToryFibs It is a benefit, it has been a benefit since day one inception. You know this, and we all know you know it.
But it's worth lying for Elon's "engagement" cash though isn't it.
@L1minus10 Like you it's not quite the decision I'd have made, but they've done it so let's go for it. I'm worried the tone they've taken wont help with preventing a ban but let's see. Best case scenario is we are all fired up and united to finish top 2 next year.
🚨 #SaintsFC showed the commission, in its entirety, the footage of Tonda Eckert’s session from the Wednesday before the first leg; in other words before Salt’s spying mission.
The Southampton players had the day off on the Thursday, and on the Friday before the first leg, they did not work on team shape in open play. It was purely a defensive set-piece session, the footage of which they also shared with the panel.
What Southampton and their legal team wanted to show – and which was borne out by the game – was that Eckert’s tactical approach did not change from the session on Wednesday. The club claim their defensive set pieces were not influenced by Salt’s visit to Middlesbrough’s training ground.

@danielbrundl3@JF0RSURE__ 100% we are not going to be reinstated. Probably try and argue that the expulsion is such a punishment why do we need a points deduction on top.
