Agree with this. Under Tonda, I think he would be used correctly, played in the right position and would be motivated. He was good for Derby. Tonda could get the best out of him and he is suited to Tonda's style - direct, tall, strong, aggressive. [Post edited 6 Jun 13:17]

Reply | We finish the season on a 21 match unbeaten run in the league
at 21:04 5 Jun 2026
Yes, after signing Larin, Peretz, and after hearing Tonda and Solak, I am feeling much more positive. It looks like we are going for it next season. All of us need to unite, get behind the club and let's win the title next season.
But let's just get confirmation that Tonda doesn't get banned. |

Reply | After Peretz, Larin has now signed
at 19:34 5 Jun 2026
Yes, well Saints knew they had to give us all some positive news and some hope for the season to sell season tickets. As long as Tonda doesn't get banned, tgen I for one am starting to look forward to storming the league next season.
And surely, Larin and Peretz wouldn't have signed, if they didn't know that Tonda is going to be the manager? |

Brilliant news. I would go as far as to say, that out of everyone he is the most important signing. Having a good goalkeeper, is absolutely vital. |

My take on this is that firstly is was a horrible piece of footage to watch, very distressing and very sad.
But the incident does bring to the forefront some thoughts and implications. Most sensible people know that there are good and bad, in all communities, all colours, all faiths etc. But when a Sikh man said he had been racially abused, did that officer subconsciously think that the Sikh killer couldn't possibly have been lying, white men racially abuse non-white people. There's no way it could have been the other way?
And this demonstrates the problem and hence fuelling the far right. Taking the knee (for black people only), Equality rights (which talks about protecting the black person, the gay person etc). But what about when the white person is attacked by one of the protected people? Everyone is under the same law, but that officer believed the killer. Why was the killer believed so categorically that he had been racially abused? It's because the narrative is that is the way round it always happens, that's why we had black lives matters etc. But the truth is that it's NOT always that way round. So ALL lives matter then don't they?
The people who don't like the far right are fuelling them, by forcing messages that are not necessarily true. The black lives matter campaign, made so many people think that it's always white people treating black people badly (or Muslims or whoever), it's never the other way round, and therefore that officer completely believed the Sikh man. This is why campaigns for one group or another are not particularly helpful because the message should be in my opinion: We ALL matter. We are ALL under the law. [Post edited 3 Jun 17:14]

All kicking off in Southampton tonight. The arrest footage is absolutely appalling. The male officer in particular was dreadful. Stabbed and was totally ignored, believing that he had been racist.

It doesn't really say much at all does it?
Nothing about Tonda
Nothing about any legal appeals

After what happened to us, I really didn't want to see Arsenal and their fans celebrating the Champions league for the next month on our tv screens, and a load of glory hunters out in their Arsenal shirts. I've not seen a Liverpool shirt anywhere for the past few months (funny that as they won nothing this season), but suddenly a load of Arsenal shirts. Do people really buy the shirt of the team that wins the league each season? I will shout PSG (and Saints as we beat them.too), every time I see one of these pathetic glory hunters in a Saints area.

What a shame. All the Arsenal arm chair fans who have never been to London, sitting in Eastleigh and Southampton pubs that I saw today can be as miserable as we are. Well done PSG. Perhaps these glory hunters across the southern counties could now buy a PSG shirt as they have to support the best club in the world? The best side won. [Post edited 30 May 20:08]

I am with hedgend on this one. The amount of Arsenal shirts I have seen around the local area, interesting that it's usually a few Liverpool shirts, but since Arsenal won the league, there are loads of them, through the town, on the bus- just a bunch of glory hunters. I hope they get stuffed, and they can put their arsenal shirts in the charity shop and get a PSG shirt. They can then speak French, and I don't have to listen to these idiots talking about how great "the team that they have never watched live" are. I won't need to shout out "I've seen Arsenal play more than you, and I'm a Saihts fan, support your local club"
And as for.kier mentioning Arsenal every week in parliament...
Fully cheered on Villa, Palace because you don't see their shirts suddenly appear everywhere. But all.the glory hunting clubs, I hope they get stuffed. [Post edited 29 May 21:03]

Thread | The Players Want Eckert To Stay
at 16:39 29 May 2026
https://uk.sports.yahoo.com/ne
Ofcourse they do. Players care about two things: Money and winning. Under Tonda, the players win games, and win them well. They want that to continue. They might be disappointed with expulsion from the playoffs, angry even like us fans are but they probabaly blame the EFL more than Tonda. Our manager did what he did, FOR us, not against us. Getting rid of a fantastic manager, and bringing in another Will Still is not in our interest. We all want to win, and with Tonda that's what you get.
Come.on FA, put us out of our misery and make a decision. [Post edited 29 May 16:40]

Some great points. Grobbelaar throwing games was much worse, as it was against us! I remember fans holding up £5 notes.
This has become so ridiculously serious. I actually love Tonda for having some dam urgency and desperation to win games for this football club. He should stay. Whether the FA allow us to make this decision, is another matter.
Tonda to stay, and let's roar this team back to the PL. If he goes, I fear for the future. [Post edited 27 May 23:28]

at 13:47 27 May 2026
My immediate thoughts are that he wouldn't want to play in the championship, hence his move to Newcastle when we went down, so he will probabaly be sold or go out on loan again. However, he hasn't got anywhere for Newcastle and might want guaranteed football again and could stay here? I doubt it, but you never know. |

I'd rather be called cheats and win, than not be called cheats and lose. The away fans will probabaly shout cheats even if Tonda isn't here. All pantomime. And calling us cheats might even wake up a few of our sleepy fans and make the atmospheres better.
I actually got fed up of being the nice, family club that never got anywhere. I don't care if we get called cheats, but end up with something to cheer. [Post edited 27 May 13:43]

We go to football to see Saints win don't we? I agree with Nick's sentiments.
Tonda is a winner. We are on a 22 game unbeaten run. We won games by 3, 4 and 5. Exciting, attacking, aggressive football.
This is football, our entertainment at the weekend. Not my day to day family life. I want to see Saints win. Tonda gave someone a pair of binoculars and told him firmly to get some inside information, because he is obsessed with Saints winning. He didn't murder anyone. He won't make the same mistake again.
Do I want a new, weak, squeaky clean manager like Will Still, who is bloody useless? No, I don't. Yes, Tonda was a naive idiot, but people make.mistakes. This doesn't have to be teriminal. I can get over the fact that Tonda made a mistake because he is desperate for my club to win games. I want more of the same wiining football, so yes I want him to stay. I don't watch Saints to be morally superior. I want us to win.
I look forward to the Saints fans enjoying a morally superior manager, who encourages world peace and encourages veganism to save the environement, but Saints get slaughtered every week on the pitch. Just remember why we go to football. Who is the best man for the job, not the most moral.
I know one thing. If Tonda goes, plus many players leave (some will go.anyway ofcourse), plus minus 4 with a new weak manager, another experiment, Saints will be in the doldrums for years. [Post edited 27 May 11:54]

Reply | Now Spygate Has Calmed Down Where Do Tonda Eckert And Southampton Stand
at 14:25 26 May 2026
I am hearing that the players want Tonda to stay. Peretz yesterday said "he loves the manager" and Matsuki apparently today saying he wants Tonda to stay. If the players want Tonda to stay, then unless he is banned, he should stay. Players clearly enjoy playing in Tonda's team, and they enjoy winning. Who knows if the players knew about the spying, knew the risks, whether they are upset with Tonda, upset with the EFL, upset with the junior intern for getting caught, who knows.
All I care about is watching an exciting, winning team. Tonda is.unlikely to spy again. He made a mistake. If the players want him, and we win our first game 3 nil, siege mentality, then that's fine with me. We don't need a whole load of upheaval, a new manager that needs time to find his best team, time to find his best formation, players in, players out, possibly the next Will Still comes in. Keep Tonda if we can. [Post edited 26 May 14:29]

Reply | Our clubs hierarchy
at 15:19 25 May 2026
I think we do need a statement (at some point). Many people won't be buying season tickets until we know what the club's thoughts are. For all we know, Solak might want out, our best players will be sold as they are furious and want to leave, further punishments could be coming our way,
Are they planning on keeping Tonda or are they furious with him?
Did the owners and board know about the spying?
Are we aiming for promotion next season and going to go for it?
Are we planning on a steady rebuild or are we aiming.to go all out next season.
Do we have to sell players because so many want out or for financial reasons?
We have a right to know these things I think. |

No, it was over the top and disproportionate. Had we finished 10th, they probably would have given us a big fine and points deduction, that would have been that. But from their side of things, had they not thrown us out and we got promoted, we might have escaped any punishment, as points deductions and fines are difficult to be transferred over to the PL, so they probably feared we would get away with it without punishment.
Promotion to the PL would have sent the message that spying was well worth it, as we we would have got our reward. So i understand why they might have expelled us, otherwise promotion would have meant we got away with it, and other clubs would think "Well they still went up, and got their reward of 250 million, so.it's worth breaking the rules".
Plus, THB doing the binocular signs to Ayling on the pitch, our fans dressing up as hedges, they probabaly thought we were as arrogant as f@ck and wanted to punish us. [Post edited 25 May 13:54]
