@IRONSSSS I have been wondering about this myself. Surely it's best for all involved to part ways now and not drag it out causing more friction...

Let me get this straight. Today Nuno met with the West Ham board. Nuno made it very clear he has no intention of staying. The board made it very clear they don’t want Nuno. Nuno has a clause in his contract where he’s not owed any compensation. Decision? Still not gone …

That's a big old change of heart. Given the fraught nature of his relationships with his coaching staff and what appears to be a large number of the playing staff it seems that it would be better for both Nuno and West Ham to part ways to be honest

What an excellent deal for Spurs. Brilliant player, good mentality and attitude and on a free. Disappointed my own team didn't even look at him.

What a way to buck the 3 up, 3 down trend. An incredible season ended with European football. The reaction says it all.

In a league of his own. Bruno Fernandes breaks the record for the most assists in a Premier League season!

Adds credence to the Chelsea links. Very good player who would improve them.. unfortunately

His PR team got involved then.... #Spurs #Romero

Congratulations to Hull. This felt like the right outcome with all that has gone on. I do feel for the Boro fans though. They have been through the mill this last 2 weeks.

Congratulations Bruno! Parabens

@GrahamWilde6 He certainly doesn't seem to be getting an overly positive reaction from the fanbase at large

@SpillTheTeaLou I am underwhelmed. Scouted year in year out and entering the last year of his contract Atalanta are asking 50 million euros inc add-ons. It's too much and becomes a bench mark for West Ham, Forest, and Newcastle for midfielders who have EPL experience.

Haven't seen him play to have a strong opinion on him and don't want to base an opinion on stats alone. BUT what is positive is that we actually appear to be moving quickly on players if this comes off and in an area where we need them...

@mufcMPB @BeanymanSports And thank goodness. I would take Lammens at United over him every day of the week and twice on a Sunday. Trying to save face because he waved the fans goodbye then had to stay where he was.

🚨🚨🎥 Emiliano Martínez: “People were saying I was going to Manchester United... guess what… THEY WRONG!” #MUFC [@BeanymanSports]

This is absolutely disgraceful. Whether Spurs stay up or go down this man cannot be their captain next season. There is no reason in the world good enough to justify this! #Spurs

@HarryMaguire93 Disappointing and confusing decision

I was confident I could of played a major part this summer for my country after the season I’ve had. I’ve been left shocked and gutted by the decision. I’ve loved nothing more than putting that shirt on and representing my country over the years. I wish the players, all the best this summer 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

What a 𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐭 performance from this man. 🇸🇪 Congratulations to Victor Lindelöf for winning the #UEL with Aston Villa tonight ❤️

🚨 BREAKING: Southampton have lost their appeal against their expulsion from the Championship Playoff Final, and a four-point deduction for next season. It means Hull City will face Middlesbrough on May 23 at 15:30 for a play in the Premier League. The decision of the League Arbitration Panel is final and cannot be appealed, including at CAS. The League Arbitration Panel’s written reasons will be published in due course along with the Independent Disciplinary Commission’s full decision. 🗣️ Southampton Statement: "Southampton Football Club has this evening been informed that the EFL’s League Arbitration Panel has upheld the sanctions imposed earlier this week. As a result, the club will not participate in Saturday’s Championship Play-Off Final. "This is an extremely disappointing outcome for everybody connected with Southampton Football Club. We know how painful this moment will be for our supporters, players, staff, commercial partners and the wider community who have given so much backing to the team throughout the season and we apologise once again to everyone impacted by this. "While we fully acknowledge the seriousness of this matter and the scrutiny that has followed, the club has consistently believed the original sporting sanction was disproportionate, a view that has been widely shared by many in the football community over the last 24 hours. "We would like to place on record our sincere thanks to our supporters for the support, patience and loyalty they have shown throughout an incredibly difficult period. We will share information as soon as possible in relation to ticket refunds for those who bought tickets to Wembley. "Southampton Football Club has a proud history and strong foundations, but it is clear that trust now needs to be rebuilt. That work begins immediately. The club will reflect carefully on the events that have led to this point, learn from them and take the necessary steps to move forward responsibly. "While tonight is a painful moment, this football club will respond with humility, accountability and determination to put things right."

@henrywinter Agree on all counts

Anyone with any knowledge of English football history will know that it is ridiculous for Southampton’s chief executive, Phil Parsons, to claim that their expulsion from the Championship play-offs is a bigger punishment than the 30-point deduction imposed on Luton Town in 2008 which led to relegation and almost throttled the life out of the club. Absolutely no comparison and completely weakens Southampton’s attempted argument that being thrown out of the play-offs is “manifestly disproportionate to every previous sanction in the history of the English game”. There is some good stuff in Parsons’ statement: accepting culpability for Spygate, apologising to those clubs they spied on and apologising to their fans “whose extraordinary loyalty and support this season deserved better from the club”. Well said. But… the rules changed since Leeds United’s “similar offence” in 2019, there is no right to the £200m (it’s not a fine), and to play the whataboutery game and make the comparison with the Hatters is, fittingly, mad. Southampton’s reputation is certainly damaged but at least their very existence is not at risk. #SaintsFC #LTFC

@davidhird88 Crazy take from him. Just did a show on this on Youtube and the whole statement is non sensical. That paragraph specifically was the worst of the lot though.

This statement states that Southampton's removal from play offs and four point deduction is more severe than our 30 point deduction, because we were only in League Two. Lads, we spent five years in non-league as a result and had to go to Hyde.

@utdreport Mavropanos from West Ham, we need another centre back between age, injuries and suspensions and he has been very good for them this season

Who’s your “hear me out” signing for Manchester United this summer? 🧐

If he is so good then buy him please and thanks wee friends
