@saintedge @solentsport @StuartVatcher But please without Martin Sanders, it’s quite embarrassing to hear he’s still hurting… there is bigger issues in life fella!

Southampton have to go into full Mea Culpa mode. Written reasons into Spygate are so damning. “Junior members of staff were put under pressure to carry out activities which they felt were, at the least, morally wrong.” Shameful. No more arrogance, no more passive-aggressive statements. Just front up.

Club rightly and widely vilified for the conduct of some within over Spygate and for the inept handling of the fall-out. Only when Tonda Eckert goes can the rebuilding of a damaged reputation begin. Only when the owner Dragan Solak addresses a fans’ forum, takes fans’ questions, and also address widespread external criticism can any trust or respect begin to return. Club cannot put CEO Phil Parsons up for interview following his misguided statement on the day of the appeal. He’s damaged.

Solak has to talk: to restore some faith amongst shocked staff; to persuade those fans thinking of not renewing season tickets or memberships to give them another chance; to give angry fans hope that their club has someone competent at the helm of a listing ship; and perhaps to dissuade some players from jumping ship.

Also, from a commercial perspective, Solak has to reassure sponsors: 19 partners, including a bank, law company and GPS-tracking company and 13 regional partners who may, understandably, worry about the damage to the club and to themselves by association. It's a long road back for Saints and it has to start with Solak leading the way. #SaintsFC

@AdamBlackmore With this damming report, how have heads not rolled already, this is a cultural issue which I believe goes beyond Tonda!

[Simon Paul 💙 @simonpaul1975]

@arnoldsavoir Is this funny as we are another club or because of your want to have a rivalry?

[Simon Paul 💙 @simonpaul1975]

@AdamBlackmore Time to delete this @AdamBlackmore

@VlkaFenryka5 @EFL_comms_ @EFL Is football completely fair play? What about diving cynical fouls, breaking financial fair play etc.

Jesus Christ let’s get balance on this!!!

@AlfieHouseEcho He’s still a delusional halfwit!

[Simon Paul 💙 @simonpaul1975]

@LCFC_1884_OK Hopefully after your second relegation we will get to play you again soon!

[Simon Paul 💙 @simonpaul1975]

@L1minus10 Could not agree more!

[Simon Paul 💙 @simonpaul1975]

@AdamBlackmore Completely agree Adam, but let’s be honest a stopped clock is right twice a day 🤣🤣

[Saints Statistics @TheStatsSaint]

Just want to say something quickly about the striker scenario, this new guy might be crap, he might not.

Just look at Peretz, came in with bad stats, Bayern fans wishing us luck and he's been a complete breath of fresh air.

Trust the process?
