@southantsrich .I totally agree.
@leslee .Sounds like you will struggle supporting the team next season.

TBF, I'd stick with Tonda, keep everyone we can and go and watch every other team we play up to the 72 hr cut off point(apparently spying isn't even illegal in the Prem). Make it absolutely blatantly obvious, it'll force them to put fences up like they should have and will ensure they only get 3 sessions at most to work on tactics against us. Let them whine, everyone in professional sports cheats if they can, when money is involved it's business. By doing all of this it'll kill off the other teams supporters, they won't get the advantage they thought they would. As for Pompey, I'm sure they'd have preferred the cheating charge to the nonce from Chelsea they had on their coaching staff(correct me if I'm wrong on that).
Anyway, yeah I'd love to see Ross and Cyle on board and obviously Peretz. Not bothered about Charles, but the other 3 central midfielders show up every game. 100% keep Bree. Would try to get Targett back at the right price and deal. Try to turn Archer into a left sided winger type. Harwood Bellis will probably go or might be angry and have a point to prove.
As for the cheating, I see worse on the pitch every week and it definitely has more influence on the outcome of games than watching another team train.
Onward and sod the whiners.

Get over it and stop using examples of players that at any time would be looked at as being sold for big money. They're good players, if they leave it'll be because of above market valuations and it won't be sideways moves.
When players do sideways moves just to get out, that's a problem.
And Stewart is obviously under the illusion that nobody knows he's 100% injury prone and he's fucked if he gets injured at the World Cup. His agents advice has been very poor.
You just want to create problems and if I had to guess, I'd actually think you're "press" looking for a story or creating a story.

Damn right I wouldn't sack Tonda, every single club in the top 4 divisions cheats in one way or another. You have zero clue as to the level some players, coaches and managers will go to win and your indignant righteousness doesn't mean a single thing to someone who wants to win. How do you even watch a game with players diving, grabbing and feigning injury, there must be toys everywhere.
The fact Peretz, Larin and Bree have all signed so quickly with glowing praise for Tonda speaks volumes and that's enough for me.
Stewart, well I think he's a bit shortsighted, his career would possibly be over if it wasn't for our back room staff and Tonda nursing him trough the season. He can't even play 90 mins and definitely not twice in a week, put Stewart and Larins stats together and you have a monster. But Stewart wherever he goes will break down as soon as he starts playing 90 mins, he's the loser in this. Bad agent.
Anyway, do try to enjoy the season or not.

Okay .but I stand by a lot of the whinging supporters will have to bite the bullet. As I don't want to offend you I"ll avoid commenting on the rest, but where do you live, there's nothing democratic about the UK?

I don't think it's the players that need to be biting bullets, Peretz and Larin aren't the only ones that respect and back Eckert. He has the changing room, 100%.
It's some holier than thou supporters or supposed supporters that need to bite the bullet and realise the players are far more knowledgeable than they are and maybe follow their lead.

Yep, not convinced everyone here are Saints supporters.
There's definitely one determined to see Eckert gone, which weakens us and more than likely puts us out of the promotion challenge. The rest of the league are terrified of the 21game run and I wouldn't be surprised if they are spying on social media and attempting to stir up rubbish.
Hopefully we get Peretz deal done soon, will be a major step forward and a huge statement of intent.
