šŸ•µļøā€ā™‚ļø 🤳 Saints - Post Spygate

All he has to say we did our usual thorough research into the tactics of the opposition within the rules as they exist today. He needs to say no more…simple.

Would have a standing instruction to the press, the first mention of spygate and we are out

Followed be a SFC tweet - those who can, manage. Those who can’t write about it :fu:

No threats to the press would be needed. If he trots that same statement at every pre-match on the subject they’ll soon get tired of digging for something to hang on him.

I think we need to dig in and resist any attempt to get rid of Tonda from the FA. At first I didn’t think he had a chance of avoiding the axe but the longer it goes on his chances get better…I hope.

Tonda is accused of Bullying a staff member.
He goes if proven. End of (see BP)
Then.
What do the players want - he cheated them out of the Premier League
Then our opinion is looked at

  1. Source? Context is everything.
  2. Players should behave. They would have had auto had they done better in first half of season. Need to grow a pair and show all the platitudes are true
  3. I would hazzard a guess and say majority of fans probably want him out as they just follow the same media bullshit and are a bit stupid. Owners need to do what is right for the club. He delivers and fans will come round

On the bullying subject, all I’ve read is a member of staff felt they were under pressure to carry out things they didn’t want to do.

Umm…I felt like that throughout my career, I suspect most people do.

I sometimes feel like that but I now tend to push back using

" you are fucking kidding me right"

EFL Statement.
Hence why we wait for the full investigation to clear him

Yeah but now money can be made from what we deemed British Management Techniques

Also Matsuki & Peretz support?
Neither will be here next season anyway

Yes, but, entitled millenials.

Our IT support desk is full of them and you can’t say boo to them without them crying off ill.

Point out that they’ve given the wrong advice and you’ll be in for the high jump..

There is no real excuse for being ā€˜bullied’ at work any more given that the HR routes are there to support any victims and even if the club HR was reluctant, the law is on the side if anyone who feels threatened in their role… after the fact statements that you felt you had no choice is naive and should no longer be a valid defence for your one actions - its one of the KEY core Elements of HR onboarding bow important it is to come forward at the time, not later when ā€˜found out…’ yet this is still likely to fuck things for Tonda

Obviously the key is whether the players and coaching team still have a strong enough relationship to build on what the last 20 odd games have delivered… that is want they need to be reminded of, That is what they are capable of. They also need to remember that if Tonda goes and they are then go back to being lower half shite its on them…

The misdemeanours from Tonda were minor, and easily rectified through a training programme. In my world that would consist of a 15 minute bollocking on why you can’t send nippers to look at other teams and sharpen up on how you talk to those nippers. End of. Now fuck off and take the team up next season.

But the effect of the misdemeanours were catastrophic, hence the initial outrage at him. This FA investigation is a load of old shit. I suspect they’ll draw it out to teach the club a lesson. And while that is going on, it’s fair to assume Tonda would be distracted or at least compromised in performance. Tough choice for the club.

Doesn’t help that ten FA remain a bastion of old school cunts, nor that ā€˜chief football’ writers in the Independent and the like have said Tonda is a cunt and should go… I just hope we don’t do something we regret later… plenty of clubs would be likely to welcome him with open arms when available… especially in England!

But.
Imagine we do nothing.
FA take 12 weeks
Suspend him for 6 months or whatever

Then how screwed are we? No manager season starting plans gone to shit

Its a pile of turd and our thoughts really should be one thing

Back whatever decision some other poor cunt has to make

Let him start preseason as if nothing going down… if he is banned for a year, promote one of his staff as a temp…

and put him on gardening leave looking after the pitch’s at St Mary’s and at Marchwood.

If I was the Club, i’d have him in the office, call him a cunt, etc, and say ā€œlook, the heat is on you at the moment and we need to get off to a flyer for the new season. Who knows how long the FA wheels will take to turn with the WC on, so we’re gonna stick you in the U18’s coaching whilst the heat dies down. You brought this on yourself, but we’ll support you and you’ll be the next manager when the one we are looking for leaves!ā€ He could say bollocks and fuck off and that saves the club paying compo. They retain the moral ground although got to look for a new manager right now. Go out and get Parker, plan for promotion.

Parker looks more like a serial killer than Tonda.
