@TheStatsSaint This issue is there will be a split in the fanbase. And he wont have any credit in the bank if she doesn’t start next season impeccably. It’s difficult, as he’s a good manager. But ultimately, he could have cost us everything.

Southampton finish the season twenty-one unbeaten in the league! 🙌 The Stats 📈 ✅ Wins: 15 🤝 Draws: 6 ❌ Losses: 0 (Legal Battles: 1) ⚽️ Goals Scored: 45 🙌 Clean Sheets: 8 The big question, should we keep Tonda despite all of the negative press? (Assuming no ban) 💭

@BluesNews_ Murphy isn’t going anywhere. Devlin will be a wanted man though and I can’t see us resisting.

Questions is... will these two be here next season? #Pompey

@IanDarke I’m sure if he wanted to stay, it’d be sorted by now. But it feels like he’s just waiting for a better offer.

Suspect the silence about John Mousinho’s future is because only he knows the situation and does not want to lie to Pompey fans . When there is something concrete to say, he will say it. Pompey have to make it worth his while to stay.

@rees_julian @AlfieHouseEcho Absolutely spot on from the FAB 👏

Southampton's Fan Advisory Board (FAB) have set out how they believe the club should move forward from 'Spygate' in an email sent to CEO Phil Parsons. #SaintsFC dailyecho.co.uk/sport/26134470…

@SaintsExtra Very well said FAB 👏

📧 Full email to #SaintsFC CEO Phil Parsons from the club’s Fan Advisory Board in light of Spygate: "In our view, communications have been poor throughout this process, with much of the information gained by fans coming from sources other than the club. "Since the CEO note, immediately after the failed appeal, there has been no communication, other than a brief notice about refunds, which made no further apology or recognition of the fan impact. "In all honesty, the silence is deafening. Being on the front foot is important for our fans. This is not just about apology and internal rectification, even if those aspects are critical. "It is also about fighting our corner in a manner that maximises unity. Statements on the website should be more frequent, as above; media appearances similarly in the form of live interviews. "We believe that the club should also organise an urgent Fans Forum within the next week, where key figures from the club (namely Dragan and you [Parsons]) address the fans in a live Q&A format. "It won't be easy, but past experience suggests this helps a lot e.g. that carried out by Rasmus [Ankersen], Henrik [Kraft] and Martin [Semmens] towards the end of the Nathan Jones era. "Whilst developments on the recent issues will inevitably take some time to resolve, given legal and disciplinary matters, a more immediate concern is that of season tickets. "Over 19,000 fans had season tickets last year. They have been badly let down by the club and recent events, and effectively, the results of every game they attended has become irrelevant. "Season ticket holders are the lifeblood of the club, and we need to help them to want to renew and rejoin the process of rebuilding. "We feel that a freeze on renewal prices is the minimum such gesture, though a reduction would recognise recent events more accurately. "We believe that some form of refund should happen for the Middlesbrough games, home and away. "We absolutely recognise that club costs have risen, and that we need the income to make us competitive on the field. "However, we also need people to renew, despite being utterly disaffected, and the balance has to err on the side of incentive, in our view. "Pending a Fans Forum, we suggest holding an emergency FAB meeting with the club to discuss the above matters in more depth, with a group of fans who have shown their commitment and loyalty over many years, and can be trusted to be constructive in our work. "The club have decided to recruit a new FAB over the summer, but now may not be the best time to go out for candidates. "The current FAB are happy to continue to work as normal until such time as the new Board is appointed." [via @dailyecho] dailyecho.co.uk/sport/26134470…

Last weeks “one thing we can agree on”. BRING BACK PHYSICAL TICKETS! (Filmed before Saints got booted out of the playoffs 😭/😂) #SaintsFC #Pompey #Boro #HCAFC #hullcity

@GazetteBoro “Gibbo Gibbo, please sue Taylor Harwood-Bellis now 😭”

Taylor Harwood-Bellis deletes his reaction to Middlesbrough's play-off final after Spygate scandal gazettelive.co.uk/sport/football…

I feel another complaint to the EFL coming from Boro.

It’s a long way back to Middlesbrough when you’ve lost….dressed as a bush 😂

@AwayDaysFB So you’ve fallen for a fake tweet. Cool

This Southampton fan isn't happy that he wasn't able to access Wembley for todays game despite having a ticket.. 🤔

@SkySportsNews Well well well

BREAKING: Hull City's team bus has had a window smashed this afternoon ahead of their Championship play-off final clash against Middlesbrough 🚨

#SaintsFC #Pompey 👀

Rumours won’t go away. Will Mous stay? #Pompey #StokeCity #SCFC #BCFC #BristolCity

Imagine the bad news was broken to you by a #Pompey fan, and then you go and do this. Nightmare minute for Sean 😂 #SaintsFC

I really hope the club don’t assume this will all blow over when it comes to #SaintsFC fans. This is the biggest betrayal in our history. As for Tonda Eckert. No one has gone from hero to zero quicker than him. He’ll be sacked tomorrow. And that isn’t enough.

@L1minus10 There will be an absolutely massive drop off in season ticket sales. The club have broken the fans trust and bond. Will take a hell of a lot to repair it.

Looking forward to the tweet about price rises for season ticket renewals #saintsfc #cuntwatch

@BroadcastMoose No justification. But Leeds admitted they had spied on everybody. So it wasn’t once.

@Jman2507 I'm not sure they could pay me to renew right now

Full episode here. Thanks for those that have subscribed off the back of this. At least there’s been 1 slight positive for me… #SaintsFC youtu.be/bZ4RMBvzLv0?si…

The club have lost the fans. We’ve been through a lot of shit, but this is a step too far for most. It’s not irreparable, but they will need to do a lot to win them back #SaintsFC
