A message from our Chairman, Dragan Šolak.

No mate, they weren’t mistakes, they were calculated decisions to try to gain an unfair advantage over your opponent - there were no mistakes about it. You got caught and now your crying foul - sorry but if you do the crime you pay the time.

How can you back a manager who puts pressure on junior staff to break the rules? Imagine being those members of staff having to go to work knowing Eckert is being backed, and you aren't. The only way to draw a line is sack him, don't wait for the FA to ban him. Spineless.

I do like Solak, seems he does care. Now I’m Tonda in but my opinion has not changed on Parsons

Now you want the FA to get rid of your manager because you ain’t got the balls! Pathetic.

I’m waiting for Oprah Winfrey to turn up. What a farce

Tonda's at the wheel

You just don’t get it do you? You can’t say you take full responsibility yet in every comms keep telling us how sorry you feel for yourselves. Your fans deserve so much better.

A proper owner and a proper football manager. No doubt we piss the league next season

An absolute joke of a football club. Classless, clueless and a disgrace to the good name of sporting integrity.

"We cheated and it's not fair we got caught and got punished .. Poor us .. it's everybody else .. it's not fair, goddammit!!"

@TotalSaintsPod First show of leadership for a while. Need everyone to pull together now. Tonda is staying so that siege mentally is going to be vital. Notice he used Nigel’s “together as one” too 😆

Placing a plant pot in front of you Dragan and playing victim to the harsh punishment and saying sorry after 3 weeks isn’t good enough I’m afraid. Minimum £5,000 spent this season completely voided and still no mention of how you’ll put things right for us paying fans.

Ah, now it's clear where all the whataboutery has come from.. embarrassing stuff.

What a wretched football club. How no one has lost their jobs is crazy. Another tone deaf statement of “we take responsibility BUT BUT BUT”

Thank you Dragan that is the closure we have all been waiting for, if you want to make it up to us please keep as much of the first team as possible and let’s go again with Tonda at the wheel

The other 23 Championship clubs, will now have to get extra security at their training grounds before playing you next season.

Are these actually thick🤣🤣🤣🤣 your fans lost their money because YOU cheated??????🤣🤣🤣 thick as thick can be

Thats boro's entire summer transfer budget gone on a legal battle to get Tonda banned. One less team to compete with for promotion

Perfectly said! The Owner has nailed his colours to our mast & thats what the club needed, and to those that still want blood, you have a choice, support the club or don't as no-one holding a gun to your head! If you can't let it go, don't let the door hit your ass on the way out

Disgusting. I'll be boycotting the team until the right decision is made and the cheating bullying weasel is out of his job. And Solak must go too for this pathetic response. Then we can have a team that we can be proud of again.

Classless but maybe we should not be surprised as that seems the absolute minimum to be involved with the club. Add in dishonesty and you become main men like the manager and CEO. Rotten through and through.

To back Tonda now saints must have an inkling that the FA will not ban him or they are indirectly applying pressure on the FA to mitigate the punishment

OMG you still don’t get it. No self awareness as a club. You cheated. You broke the rules of a cup competition and got kicked out. The crime & punishment equate to the match importance. Yet nobody is fired and fans not compensated. 🤡

More victim blaming from Southampton. Dragan Solak pretty much saying the intern should have said ‘no’ louder. 😳 Deeply troubling. Arguing to still keep the same manager and senior team — with the same petulant ‘we were wronged’ attitude about the punishment — shames the club.

Completely appalling and classless. Saying nothing would’ve been better. Fans deserve more than this. Shocking

We're better for having you around, Dragan. Thank you.

Tinpot joke of a club

@25buttsfc1 So there you have it - the apology to the fans everyone wanted. Enough said - time to move on.

Fair play everyone makes mistakes we move on simple as that that’s smash the league next year and smash Pompey twice 👍🏻

Is Gerald Ratner doing your comms?

Finally a proper apology which I fully appreciate but it took way to long to get this Need to freeze season ticket prices this season to try and get the fans back on side

Announce Peretz and it's all forgiven.
