@UncensoredCMO Everything crossed! And yes it will be 🙏

The Dragon has come out fighting…siege mentality here we go. Is it the right strategy - only time will tell- but as time heals I’m here for it #saintsfc

[Ben Carter @bensaint]

@kevinhatchard Eh? The clubs silence has been one of the problems in this whole thing. Whether today’s affirmation is the right strategy time will tell but as a fan I’m appreciative of the stance and transparency - and whilst I’m still very angry gives me some sort of hope for next season

[Ben Carter @bensaint]

@KathrynBatte @Tomtalksfooty Can’t beat a bit of impartial journalism

[Ben Carter @bensaint]

So is the parade still going ahead…?!

[Ben Carter @bensaint]

@nickdemarco_ Someone should frame this tweet….just shows that football was the ultimate winner

[Ben Carter @bensaint]

Could not agree more.

[Alfie House @AlfieHouseEcho]

Delighted for Hull, deserve to go up! 👏

[Ben Carter @bensaint]

@SimonPeach And the silence from that same club is deafening. Today is the longest day! Hopefully you get the right result now we’re not there!

[Ben Carter @bensaint]

@henrywinter Don’t disagree Henry but you’re repeating what we’re all thinking. Let us have a break from a truly traumatic few weeks particularly ahead of what’s going to be a very painful day tomorrow. The club will come back from this - it has to - and of course action needs to be taken

[Ben Carter @bensaint]

@ElMacca @SouthamptonFC Thank you - yeah horrific all round

[Ben Carter @bensaint]

That’s me & football done for a while. Feel so let down by my club @SouthamptonFC & the actions of a few (now on club to show a response) we didn’t deserve to be successful in appeal but Punishment = Ridiculous & if expulsion is necessary then promote Hull. The match is a mockery

[Ben Carter @bensaint]

@AdamBlackmore We all need a detox from the club; a few days to reflect, switch off & bury the anger & disappointment then we go again as we - fans always do regardless which players are at the club, who the manager is, what league we are in. The worst thing is it didn’t have to be like this

[Ben Carter @bensaint]

Slept on it ( not much). Feel sick and angry and totally confused. What a stupid thing to do for so little gain. Fair to say the rollercoaster took its steepest drop yet. Only @SouthamptonFC

[Ben Carter @bensaint]

Heads need to roll regardless. Deep embarrassment of my club @SouthamptonFC regardless of what happens tomorrow. The last three months ruined. Time for the club to speak - the silence is deafening.

[Ben Carter @bensaint]

@CraigHope_DM Good to see your ‘exclusive sources’ have given you a call again…it’s beyond predictable

[Ben Carter @bensaint]

Fair to say Boro are becoming a bit embarrassing now. Wronged yes (and it was wrong) but any sense of proportionality or objectiveness seems to have gone out of the window. #saintsfc

[Ben Carter @bensaint]

Surprise surprise Boro have now enlisted the local MP; what next a petition to hear Spygate in parliament? Their lack of sophistication in comms strategy (and so called ‘bombshell’ leaks for clicks - despite how disappointing and unnecessary this has been from my club- is telling

[Ben Carter @bensaint]

Oh when the Saints…..the only time I’ve been grateful for a delayed @ @British_Airways flight! #saintsfc

[Southampton FC @SouthamptonFC]

WE'VE DONE IT! 🤩

[Ben Carter @bensaint]

What will be intriguing in the #spygate hearing is if the amount of back channelling and blatant spin doctoring Boro have been doing - is taken into account. Can’t help but feel silence is the best comms strategy here… #saintsfc

[Ben Carter @bensaint]

@AlfieHouseEcho Have you managed to get a legal view from a sports barrister Alfie as don’t think Biesla is the precedent- agree with you though - it would also spark the mother of all legal battles and not just from saints. Somehow doubt the EFL have the appetite for that
