Depends on if Viveash wants to go down that route. It seems he enjoys the coaching side of it and managing gets in the way of that. Might just enjoy being the No.2 - gets lot of input but little of the hassle and media.

I can't remember as the lectures were 20 years ago. Couldn't tell you the name of the Lord either. I just remember it was about a 9 month old appointed to the board purely because the company in question wanted the prestige of a 'Lord on the Board' and it came before the court because of the...

Nope. Taken directly from my company law lectures at uni. It was an old case but I brought it up as an example of how you could have far more stupid appointments to the board than someone who actually works in the company and knows what it's like. There are plenty of appointments of people on...

One of the most vital stakeholders of the organisation yet should get no voice at a senior level. Yes, there is the issue that often those that go for those kind of things are either doing it for the ego and contacts or to just be a pain in the arse but that doesn't make it a bad idea. Certainly...

But there is the issue of perception. Even if everything is changed with a brand and the original people are no longer involved, the public perception of that brand will remain for a long time, especially if it's a negative perception.

We were also told that we'd never be allowed to leave Coventry again after Northampton.... If push came to shove as long as we could prove we had somewhere to play that met requirements they'd grant an extension.

It was so mind-opening I think we should reset the calendar for a new era. This is the year dot.

I doubt it. If it's true they offered him a contract and he rejected it they'll be due compensation regardless.

Really feared it might be the case given his posts on feeling ill before he went quiet. Very sad news. Condolences to his family and friends. RIP FM.

This the part of asylum that bugs me - if you're claiming asylum then you must have to be in a position that your life in your own country is so untenable you fear for your life. If that's the case moaning about being put up in a hotel and having meals at set times seems very minor in comparison...

Depends on which direction they turned him.....

And most people don't remember a thing about what's been said in parliament when standing at the voting booth. So use parliament for holding government to account and adopt a more simple, soundbite based approach for elections. As far as I'm concerned long may the forensic analysis continue...

Yeah - let's stop having someone going through things properly. Let's just have a good old fashioned shouting match with soundbites instead. How about we stop parliament being allowed to act like children shouting out rather than stopping people doing stuff competently?

Not sure if that's only for teams abroad. I'm sure players/agents talk throughout the season but just date paperwork to fulfil requirements. With O'Hare he was probably unsure of his future. Until a week or so ago he may have been getting a decent offer from Villa. Cov may not have been...

That's great, but when are we going to get people that think "if I don't drop it on the floor no-one will need to clear it up later". Esp when it's your own city. Surely people know by now stuff like litter picking is way down the council budget list of priorities and has been cut back massively...

Why are we assuming he'll be cheap? Sunderland had a massive budget compared to the rest of the league last year. I doubt he's a high earner there compared to some from the PL/Championship but I imagine it's a decent enough amount to be noticeable in our budget. Plus he's at his 'prime' earning...

The consensus I seem to remember from Walsall fans was that he was a nice bloke but didn't use his height and strength anywhere near as effectively as he could and didn't score enough goals by getting into scoring positions. As such they felt he was easily replaceable and that if the rumoured...

For all the talk of people in the stands opinions etc and they're not experts, on the whole getting the consensus of the fans of previous clubs isn't that bad a way of judging a players ability/attitude etc. Certainly more trustworthy than a few minutes of heavily edited highlights on YouTube.

They offered him two new contracts as far as I'm aware and he rejected both, at which point Villa decided not to go back with a third and released him at the end of his contract.

More than worthwhile to pay that fee. I'd say want he wants in wages is far more important regarding the risk. Hopefully won't be asking an extortionate amount but he may have been on a decent wedge at Villa even as a back-up/reserve and may be a wage cut to join us from there.
