It's a benefit in kind, iirc, so if all or some of the cost is provided by your employer you'll pay tax on it.

Had it on in the background. First half looked awful. Second half Stoke made some chances, but couldn't finish. They certainly weren't pulling up trees, but then we've not exactly had a new manager bounce either!

Have you hacked into Frank's iPad somehow mate? 😁

C'mon mate, I don't think there's anything particularly horrible about commenting on Rooney's continued failure as a manager. I'm sure it doesn't hurt him personally. Don't tell me you've never criticised a player or manager yourself, they're all trying their best too you know. Nor do I think...

You're in! 😁

I see a future for you in my business. Director of Procrastination? You can be in charge of recruitment, when you can be bothered of course. 😄

Blimey, I can't wait until the day I haven't got a purpose in life! Maybe I should drop him a line and say that for a very reasonable fee I'd be happy to advise on ways to idle away entire days at a time. Sort of a procrastination life coach. I'd start by signing him up to this forum. It's an...

Fair enough, but I think Torchy's point isn't about him not working, more about the fact that he's always been at the top as a professional. He's not had to work his way through the leagues - as a player he's obviously been gifted with a talent far beyond those he's trying to coach as a...

I think he's telling them not to lose possession mate. It's a bloody obsession. Funnily enough when we went more direct at the start of the second half we got a goal and looked a threat. Then we went to our standard approach even when they were down a man. And I'm with you on having Bassette...

We're so desperate to pass backwards it's fucking unbelievable.

Sorry, I'm not having that. FL has them all week and picks the team. He's the manager, it's absolutely on him.

What, you mean pass it forward when there's a centre-half, full back or goalkeeper available? Get thee hence with your dangerously old fashioned ideas. 😁

1-0 down and we're fucking around at the back with not a care in the world. If you can't sort something that basic out, you're not much of a coach.

Fair enough, as long as it's a minimum eight stories up. 😁

Piss poor. We have the ball for ages but show fuck all attacking intent, they pick off a shockingly lazy pass from Sheaf (edit, Eccles?), and we show fuck all appetite for defending. One down. Criminal.

Cheap shot mate - and it's nothing like that as you know. I could just as well say that your uncritical defence of King in this is like the girl who cries "he only hits me 'cos he loves me." An equally crappy and pointless thing to say though, in truth. Why not just accept that a lot of...

I suspect an NDA was signed as part of the final settlement or gardening leave agreement. Even if not, I doubt Robins worries too much about what Doug said or says. Within the game his reputation is clearly robust, Robins wouldn't gain much by an unseemly spat with a former employer.

Well, personally speaking, when he comes back to the CBS, no matter who he's managing, I hope he gets a tremendous reception - he deserves nothing less. And then I want Coventry to win. It's entirely possible to want both of those things, isn't it? They're not mutually exclusive.

Good thinking, you might want to wear rubber gloves when you're opening your front door though mate. 😁
