Let’s wait and see, that sounds like the usual shit to stop people moaning. What measures have they actually put in place to stop them reaching the secondary market?

Yes, and then we all get dragged into a meeting and moaned at because ‘we don’t want to single people out’

If we’ve got a few quid for a player that would be off for free then fair play. For all the criticism he was getting regular minutes despite rarely starting. Expecting a few people to throw their toys out the pram when we don’t make any further signings before the deadlines.

appreciate it is very counter intuitive but what you’re saying is exactly the issue. People will ignore the evidence because in their own mind they can’t make it make sense. In terms of taking the piss you may well be right. I can see on our system that I’m regularly doing around 50% of the...

Guess it depends on the role. I am employed for 40 hours a week, I do far more than that and don’t get a penny extra, is that a pro rata pay decrease? Not sure many employers would argue that but they’re happy to argue the other way! On call in IT has become an absolute piss take, thank god I...

Think it would depend on productivity. Trials I’ve read about tend to show that, at worst, productivity is maintained. If the employer is getting the same amount out of an employee should it matter if they do it in less hours? Some areas would obviously be exempt. In fact part of the issue now...

Yet again, as with working from home, why can things to improve people’s lives, not to mention improve productivity, only be implemented if it is possible for every single person in the country? The number of times over the decades we’ve been told a change will bring industry crashing to its...

Not really a 4 day week in the way most people talk about it. This proposal would be, for example, 4 10 hour days rather than 5 8 hours days. An actual 4 day week as implemented elsewhere would be 4 8 hour days. Of course they’ve already given companies an easy out as it can only be...

The was a vocal minority who absolutely lost their minds at the idea of 15 minutes cities. You’ve got developers who don’t want to build amenities because there’s no profit in that, councils that can’t afford to and even if you can get round both those problems you’ve got people actively...

Can only really put my own experience but I live in an area where there’s not really any students and the property is not suitable for HMOs. It’s an area that you’d say is traditionally virtual all owner occupied. When I moved here initially I rented while I looked for somewhere to buy. Took...

So it’s not just football you’re always happy and positive about 😂

If if even contains 10% of the shit that happened in his time running WWF / WWE either it will be the end of the company or people will dismiss it as too far fetched.

Apparently ticket sales aren’t great for day 4. Combination of having matches so late in the summer, the ridiculous cost and the chance of little meaningful play past the 3rd day

Not sure this is the type of person I’d want anywhere near government https://www.theguardian.com/business/article/2024/aug/29/peter-hendy-ex-network-rail-chair-threatened-firm-engineer-euston-criticism

Funnily enough one of the first things that came up when I googled to see if this was complete bollocks was how long some carcinogens last on surfaces. It was part of a study where they’d looked how badly children’s heath was being impacted when parents only smoked outside and their exposure was...

Manchester £148.50 for standing £268.50 for hospitality £453.50 for the pre-show party and fan package £353.50 for the mechanise and fan package The Wembley gigs will cost: £151.25 per standing ticket With seats £74.25 to £206.25 At Cardiff they'll be: £150 for standing £73 to £205 with seats...

Ireland promoter has confirmed prices start from €86.50 + fees. Start from could be the key word there as that could be anything from a couple of rows at the back of the highest tier to ga standing. I fear it may be the former and there will be a lot of people logging on expecting to get...

Are you taking hit rate as a percentage or just a raw number? If it’s the later it’s meaningless with the sheer number of players they have. Also top 5 leagues is an incredibly wide range. If one of our players coming though ended up at Solihull I don’t think many on here would be claiming it...
