I know it happens. I'm saying it shouldn't be allowed. If you decide to end someone's contract early you shouldn't be allowed to then restrict them gaining new employment just because you've got to pay them off. If you've decided to get rid then you should be forced to pay the...

in which case the statement is factually incorrect. It should say "will terminate the contract of Mark Robins upon agreement of a severance package" And given the short shelf life of managers you'd have thought details like that would be in the contract from the start.

Well it would, if the statement released by the club didn't start with this. Coventry City Football Club has made the difficult decision to terminate the contract of Mark Robins as manager with immediate effect.

But given the huge change in policy and ministers arising from it it's also effectively a new government. There was more change between Johnson and Truss than there has been between Sunak and Starmer.

You'd have thought someone by now would have challenged it on the basis it's a restriction of trade. If you employ someone on a fixed agreement and then you decide to end that agreement early, you should have to pay whatever the remainder of that agreement is (or whatever severance is in that...

Nowhere near as many as you.

Also really expected us to name the new manager today. Really does look like Doug pulled the trigger without any sort of plan in place. And if you consider that some people think he put off the decision for a couple of games because we won it makes it all a bit of a farce IMO

Is there a Toffee Crisp one? Think there was one in with that 'pooping candy' you used to get. The mint one isn't minty enough. Plus the milk chocolate is too creamy and I prefer a bit darker chocolate with mint, like After Eight. maybe that's why I was disappointed - I basically wanted it to...

Yep. This getting the ball down the line for crosses makes no sense when most of our strikers (Wright, bassette, BTA, even Tavares) are much better suited to running onto through balls to use their pace. Only one is even vaguely suits is Simms and I wouldn't say it's his forte either.

The thing I don't get is we've got a very timid team that don't get at the ref half as much as other teams, yet somehow we pick up loads of cards for dissent.

Someone ought to tell him it's not his job to decide if the midfield is good enough - he's not qualified to make that decision. Fact he names some of those as viable midfield options right now tells you everything.

Maybe he thought there was enough there to work on and with the coaching set-up changes he could improve significantly. Hasn't work out like that so far, though.

The other thing is that petition is very vague. You could just as easily find as many people who are not happy that this government is not being left wing enough. I'm sure the 'Corbynistas' would love to get rid of Starmer. So you could get millions of people signing it and yet almost all of...

You do realise that a manifesto is a plan for a whole term of govt, don't you? It's not they have to do everything immediately. I also checked their manifesto. It did not put a specific time frame on ending asylum hotels, so it's an entire term pledge. The exact pledge is "We will hire...

He's not saying that at all. That's what he's saying in your head. What he's said is that we don't live in a country where a few disgruntled people with an axe to grind can get a few signatures and we call a GE. Imagine if we did. We'd never get to the point of having a govt. Let's say we had a...

You might say we're not playing to his strengths. I'd argue he's not playing to his strengths either. I would genuinely consider giving him an U21 to fill his boots and try and get his confidence up. Never known a player who is so absolutely reliant on their mental state.

Look at it another way. There are plenty of people in the demographics Starmer seems to be bending over backwards to placate that want to see a charge made. For these men to be charged would be seen as a win for him at the moment.

He was never staying no matter how much we offered. If he got a chance of PL football he was going regardless.

Must be pretty simple for opposition managers. Just tell their team to be tight at the back and we will at some point give them a couple of chances to score.
