Tonda, Silence & Spygate Fallout: Saints’ Summer Starts Here

Southampton’s Spygate appeal has failed, the written reasons have been published, and the fallout continues.

In the final Total Saints Podcast of the season, Martin is joined by Steve Grant, Glen de la Cour and George Rees-Julian to discuss the aftermath of the EFL decision, the club’s response so far, the FA investigation into individuals involved, and whether there is any way back for Tonda Eckert.

The panel also look at the wider damage done to the club, the lack of leadership from Southampton, what supporters need to hear next, and how Saints begin rebuilding trust after one of the most damaging weeks in the club’s recent history.

There’s also discussion on what the summer now looks like in the Championship, including the goalkeeper situation, likely departures, sellable assets in midfield, Ross Stewart, James Bree, and the challenge of rebuilding a squad after the play-off expulsion.

Plus, reaction to Hull beating Middlesbrough in the play-off final, the TSP Prediction League winners, the signed Atlanta Primus shirt giveaway, Patreon merch updates and a farewell to George as he leaves The Echo.
