Am neither a labour or reform lover but any notion this audience is impartial is absolutely laughable, additionally the arrogance or Burnham is really quite something #bbcqt
@SouthamptonFC What an absolute disgrace, the stain this whole episide will leave on this club is practically impossible to measure, heads have to roll - its going to be a long summer, and likely a long season next time around - disgusted
At some point, those running Southampton are going to have show proper accountability and some humility. Apologise to their fans, and reimburse them their Wembley expenses. Apologise to the clubs they spied on. And take their medicine. Then clear out those who sanctioned the spying. Only then can Southampton start rebuilding their damaged reputation.
They may well be waiting until after the appeal before making a statement and a proper show of contrition. But extended silence simply deepens the stain on the club's reputation. (Even a holding statement would have been something). It's not fair on their fans, the ones who will still be there long after current coaches, players, sporting directors and owners have moved on.
Southampton were traditionally one of the most-respected clubs in the game. Good support, developed players, attractive football. Saints. Not now. Not until there’s full accountability, publicly. Silence only adds to the shame. Pity. Good club but badly led on this. #SaintsFC
There was always a worry that it wasn’t the first time …but it’s so bloody disheartening and ruins a completely dramatic rollercoaster of a season
#Saintsfc have admitted to doing it v Oxford at Xmas (lost) Ipswich in April (drew) and Boro (drew)
So what was the gain ?!?! Incomprehensibly stupid !!
Appeal from Saints expected but on what basis?
@EFL_Comms As a Saints fan, good. We are absolutely bang to rights and deserve this and the points deduction next season - utterly shameful and a stain on our club
@AdamBlackmore That was a performance with one eye at least on Sat - understandable, but still
Could have done with Leicester winning and so having something to play for vs Millwall on Friday, but could also argue this takes the pressure off us a bit, let Millwall and Ipswich hopefully slip
