@AdamBlackmore Obviously not the way it should have been done but this is going to be the full reset the club has needed for a few years. Any potential new owners to get the club on the cheap??

I absolutely agree with this sentiment
Any chance of reviving the club’s reputation starts with the people who authorised and executed the spying ending their association with #SaintsFc

@AdamBlackmore Adam…surely everyone involved in this need to be sacked with immediate effect..tonda and all his staff have to go! No question! We are in serious trouble now we will lose our best players and lose loads of revenue via sponsorship etc no brand will want to be linked with us

@RhysTheSaint @SaintsExtra @TeleFootball Clubs desperate, probably throwing him loads of money. Not a chance this changes again.
English
@SaintsExtra @TeleFootball he simply wouldn't risk his reputation if we didn't have some form of case... surely?

🚨 Southampton sources have confirmed that Lord Pannick KC has joined the club’s legal team for tonight’s appeal #saintsfc @TeleFootball

@AndrewSayerBCU These are the people with common sense and have not lost their minds because we’ve had a little peak at some training 😂😂

Why are so many football experts (ex-players, managers, pundits) lining up to say Southampton’s removal from the playoff final is unfair? Southampton have openly admitted they have cheated to try and influence games in their favour. They should be nowhere near the playoffs. #UTB

To all of you wonderful people that have said they will help. It’s looking like Sky bet are sorting everything.
Thank you so much for your offers of kindness & generosity.
If anything changes I’ll let you all know.

Boro family, can I have your attention please. Our much loved fan from the land of Oz, no not the Wizard our very own @inrictus has a ticket sorted for Wembley. Trying to sort flights, very expensive for short notice. Would any of you amazing people be able to help?

@JamesLeafe1 @Safcjcp95 @glenn_coin @SouthamptonFC @Boropolis 4 points for 2 games in a league season doesn’t match up to being kicked out of the play offs? Why is the punishment soo different?
English
@ashersfc @Safcjcp95 @glenn_coin @SouthamptonFC @Boropolis I assume you mean the 4 points? They were for the infringements against Oxford and Ipswich, they were league games, not rocket science.

A statement from Phil Parsons, Chief Executive, Southampton Football Club.

@ashersfc @JamesLeafe1 @glenn_coin @SouthamptonFC @Boropolis A points deduction for cheating in a knockout competition, has that ever happened in English football?
English
@JamesLeafe1 @Safcjcp95 @glenn_coin @SouthamptonFC @Boropolis There isn’t a set punishment. Why can’t it be points and fine? If expulsion was in place beforehand then you can have no complaints. I’m more annoyed we got caught 😂 Scumhampton 😂😂 everyone hates us 😂
English
@ashersfc @Safcjcp95 @glenn_coin @SouthamptonFC @Boropolis There was no rule before, as you well know. It can't be points or just a fine, as you well know. Only 2 choices, kick Scumpton out and promote Hull, kick Scumpton out and reinstate Boro, your just annoyed it is the latter
English
@Safcjcp95 @JamesLeafe1 @glenn_coin @SouthamptonFC @Boropolis What precedent had been set? Its only happened once before and Leeds basically got a slap on the wrist and it was all a joke in the end.
English
@JamesLeafe1 @ashersfc @glenn_coin @SouthamptonFC @Boropolis Its not, this decision is in line with precedent set and followed even this season
English
@JamesLeafe1 @glenn_coin @SouthamptonFC @Boropolis You couldn’t have asked for a better half in the 1st leg. Us spying on you didn’t make your strikers miss 2/3 sitters. If anything the way the game started it looked to effect us more 😜😂
English
@ashersfc @glenn_coin @SouthamptonFC @Boropolis Of course it did, we had to change tactics, players and set piece routines, within 24 hours of kick off. On top of which the pre match talks, pressers and build up were changed. The unaffected versions of the games never took place, only the ones after the cheat was discovered
English
@405Automation @glenn_coin @mitchjpmorris @SouthamptonFC @Boropolis They could have had 10 chances and they wouldn’t have scored. We literally sat in our penalty area for 45 minutes. If you can’t make the most of that you don’t deserve to win games. Our spies must have said soak it up lads they can’t hit a barn door 😂😂
English
@ashersfc @glenn_coin @mitchjpmorris @SouthamptonFC @Boropolis And how do you know that they wouldn't have had a further three chances to score, if you hadn't spied? Answer - you don't.
You attempted to gain an advantage by spying and ended up winning.
Reap what you sow.
English
@Chi_Saintsfan @glenn_coin @SouthamptonFC @Boropolis The fans and players deserve it. They still have a job to whatever information they are given and not knowing where it’s coming from.
English
@glenn_coin @ashersfc @SouthamptonFC @Boropolis That said its still wrong and no sympathy for the club. I honestly wouldn't be that excited about Saturday if we win our appeal. We don't deserve it
English
@glenn_coin @mitchjpmorris @SouthamptonFC @Boropolis You should have been 3 up at least in the 1st leg and went 1 up in the 2nd. How much more of an upper hand do you need?
English
@mitchjpmorris @ashersfc @SouthamptonFC @Boropolis That’s not the point. There were 20 odd other chances that they had to defend against. And did.
English
@glenn_coin @SouthamptonFC @Boropolis You absolutely battered us 1st half of the 1st leg, do you really think that was our tactic to sit back and let you miss some sitters 😂😂
English
@ashersfc @SouthamptonFC @Boropolis How do you know it had no impact? We didn’t win either game, that could be as a direct impact either by knowing our tactics or us having to change tactics late on.
English
@glenn_coin @SouthamptonFC @Boropolis Boro denied themselves by losing the tie. Spying as bad as it seems had absolutely no impact on that semi final and everyone who watched the games will be lying if they said any different. It was a stupid thing to do but in no way does it deserve this punishment.
English
@SouthamptonFC @Boropolis You sound like you were taking promotion for granted. The only thing you are guaranteed to lose is 4 points and Wembley gate receipts.
You were willing to deny Boro a shot at the £200m prize by cheating. That’s the harsh reality you face.
