I agree that it has been poorly communicated. I feel pretty sure that Doug had the intention of expanding the FZ with the original pricing, where there was a massive gap between junior prices there and elsewhere. When there was uproar about those prices and he dropped them, he probably did so...

He needs to strike a balance. Of course the infrastructure needs massive improvement, but at the same time you can't totally neglect the team at it's expense. That is, after all, the product you're selling so it has to at least be of a half decent standard now. Failure to provide that will see...

I think we'd go to about £4m for a proven striker, presuming we get c. £20m for Vik. We might spread the net and buy 2 or 3, and maybe get a loan but losing so many goals we have to be looking at serious targets rather than taking a punt. We've got to replace Waghorn and Walker as well.

Pendant in my head is poking me with a large stick saying "Tell him it's 'You get what you pay for.'"

I'm sure his little boy Adolf has nothing to do with it.

I agree, but the result would still be valid. And therein lies the problem. If you don't vote because you don't like the positions of any of the parties/candidates, then you run the risk of ending up with the worst option of the lot. So to prevent that you end up having to hold your nose and...

It'd be a hell of a shock if the Tories got back in and would eclipse even the Kinnock debacle, but given the way things are going I'm preparing myself for any eventuality. I think LD's will improve mainly due to Scotland, which was a strong area for them pre-SNP. Then depending on thier...

Very much doubt it. I think any move will be decided around the start of July when a lot of clubs start pre-season training. Doubt much will happen for the next couple of weeks due to people being on holiday etc., but also to give the bidding war a chance to hot up. Unless it's over £20m and...

Great that the pitch is being relaid, but we seem to have had problems with it from the very opening of the stadium. Don't know if there's some underlying drainage issue due to the type of soil (though a professional pitch should be dug pretty deep to lay good base layers and drainage.)...

I don't think they'd care. They'd probably think "well, we won so we're doing the right thing." Doesn't matter if it's a tiny amount - it's a win. In their own heads they'd probably say that it was appealing to the right that won it for them. And then there is the other option. Enough people...

Talking of the club shop, does anyone know if either have any home shirts left in stock, and if so what sizes? Looking for a M/L

Because if they're the ones telling them they're bad it's also part of their job to tell them why and help them improve. The entire system is flawed and leads far too much towards teaching towards exams. There's more to education than that.

I agree. If schools are rated less than good, then that's a judgement on OFSTED as much as the school.

But that means she thinks he lies to everybody else, including the voters, and yet she thinks he's the best choice to lead the country

Do you have a thing for artwork of young men on their knees? Or does she? ;)

I try not to think about it too much, as it's far too depressing.

It's why I think keeping Hamer would be preferable if Vik is off. I think Hamer could adapt to a different striker with a different style of play - he can play it to feet and then push up to support them, he could split defences for a quick striker playing on the shoulder of the last defender...

I think it would be interesting if that graph showed which years the lines beneath related to, even if split into decades. If, as I suspect it would, showed that there was a general upward trend it still shows climate change and global warming.

Not sure if they're trying to use it to disprove stuff. As far as I can see all they're claiming is that this is an event that should only happen once every quarter of a million years. As we are now having 'once in a hundred years' events every few years and 'once in a thousand years' events...

Would the clubs have to print the letter out again to send it back with their bids?
