I would expect that first they will appeal against this judgement and then, when applied they will then appeal against any sanction imposed against them - potentially, 114 times. If they decide to fight it out, this could take years……….

It becomes a management issue yes but retains its value on the balance sheet as a company asset

Barry Fry has always spent a huge amount of his time watching National and lower League players. Peterborough having benefited enormously over the years as a result.

Screwed up my courage and renewed my season ticket at what I thought was the last minute. Now looking at these match-by-match ticket prices, I’m thinking now of cancelling my season ticket and buying a membership instead

I took the fact that an additional 1500 season tickets had later been put on sale as further evidence of our severe financial plight and of the need to generate as much additional revenue as possible in advance of the season starting. The necessary cash to support essential or even the basic day-to-day expenditure just doesn’t seem to be there. You wonder, how long can this continue?

As has been said previously on another thread, I will reserve judgement on this signing when we know who else is being brought it

An important decision yes but it is the Trust Committee - or a section thereof - who are attempting to engage with the club and who are therefore in the best position to judge the quality and the attentiveness of the club’s response both in general and on specific issues.. I would support any decision of the Trust Board to disengage from discussions with the club if they should decide that the club are failing to treat our discussions with the seriousness required or they deserve. Members of the Trust Board are elected by members to take such decisions on behalf of the membership and are themselves subject to re-election in the future should they fail to adequately represent our interests. Hopefully such drastic action will never prove to be necessary but, if it ever is, I don’t think we should be afraid to call a halt to all fan engagement with the club.

After all his efforts to recruit Martin - and over such an extended period of time covering 3 / 4 seasons, - do you honestly believe Top would sack him inside four months of his arrival? If we “fall out of the play off positions” as you put it, Martin will simply plead the need for patience and Top will absolutely lap it up and double down on this appointment keeping him in place to avoid more loss of face. Honestly, Martin’ s for the foreseeable future……..

Not for me it wouldn't be, no. That scenario just seems to me to be rather unlikely.

A 7 day rolling contract would be as far as I would be prepared to go for this joker. And then I'd have to be in a generous mood !!

He hasn't, he still thinks he's a competent football manager. As for the people employing him..........

Well done - in some ways it might be seen as a distastefull thing to do but still, well done! I have long thought that the only means we have of encouraging Top to sell up and move out is to ensure that his continued involvement with the club becomes a cause of great embarrassment to him back in Thailand. This helps towards that, better effect though if there had been a few hundred others with Cambodian flags at a televised match

My brother, who lives in Arbroath and is an Aberdeen season ticket holder, tells me that the word up there is that you're right

This pretty much represents my own views except that, for me, it's immaterial how much Southampton may have actually gained from their spying activities, the fact is that they hoped or expected to obtain an advantage by means which are against the rules of the EFL and that is why their actions merit these sanctions.

That's a ridiculous comment to aim at a player just out of the Academy
