The pitch stuff all seems to stem from one chap. His son got cancer and he somehow came to the conclusion the pitch caused it. One of his quotes is "Lewis would be training on this stuff once or twice a week for four or five years, and he would come back telling me how he swallowed a lot of it...

Yes it is different here. Most of the remaining workers rights in the UK come from the EU as they have been removed by our own governments. When the working time directive came in, which is what you are referring to, the UK negotiated an exemption so that people could 'work the hours they...

What is generally stated, at least by Fisher and the independent 'experts' CWR and CT drag out, is that we can have a competitive budget in L1 but not at a higher level.

Good point, Etihad Stadium! All the same to me, can't afford to go on either!

I remember someone from the council, probably Mutton (was he in charge at the time?), going right off on one of the potential owners on CWR as they wanted to develop land around the Ricoh. He said something about it being a football stadium not a development opportunity. Of course there then...

We obviously don't know what would have happened but our administration would have been slightly different as prior to the SISU takeover KMPG came in and to all intents and purposes ran the administration process to find another buyer but as a large amount of debt was internal to the club (e.g...

Any update on this. Have those innocent people attacked by the police requested copies of CCTV, gone to the media or lodged a complaint. Odd that in this day and age no phone footage has emerged. The only thing I've seen is footage of our 'fans' throwing glasses at the police.

Are you referring to the fight at a service station between a grand total of three Everton and Man Utd fans? Hardly going off big time. If anything just highlights how stupid it is making all those fans travel to London rather than playing at the Emirates or similar.

They can't not have front row Brian!

He should paint his face and get a nice half and half scarf to go with his top!

I'd forgotten that bit. Shame the presenter didn't mention her insistence that ACL was 'washing its face'. Seem to recall when she was found out on that she blamed the information provided by the councils representatives at ACL, one of whom would have been Reeves. Anyone else would have faced...

Aren't you talking about two different things? Waggott and Brookfield have both, on the record, stated that we have a top 6 budget. The SCMP calculation is only coming in to it on the assumption that is the figure the FL uses in its benchmarking report. Of course if you have a maximum budget...

If you look on the club website or social media Reda is regularly doing the community engagement stuff. If the club had said he should be there and he wasn't then fair enough. For those complaining have you checked the attendance record of other injured players over the course of the season...

Doubt very much WMCA are paying that back, Lucas was on the radio a while ago spinning it as being to the cities advantage to have him doing both jobs.

The bit in the article about the local labour party members not getting to choose candidates as pro-Lucas candidates are being brought in from other areas is quite worrying. That certainly shouldn't be allowed.

Should hopefully be living back in Cov by the start of next season so will be getting my first season ticket since I moved away (92/93 season was the first one I didn't get one for). They must be going on sale this week, they said at the SCG the early bird would run to the end of the season...

Concentrating on the league!

Can't see him resigning. Why would he be making signings like Jones if he wasn't planning to be here?

If you only use games after they moved to the Ricoh last season the average was 19,911 so the drop is even worse. Interestingly when I had a look into other teams that had moved it seems Wasps are the only team who's attendance dropped in the second season. Not a good sign. There also hasn't...
