I think that is the situation, so they maybe allowed a couple of frees/loans if not too expensive under the FL's case-by-case objective, but if they manage to off-load KPB and Utaka then I expect they could get some decent frees/loans if available and willing to go to the club.

Not as funny as one person showing his myopic view while many others debate the wider issues.

Do you really thing the selling of images will outweigh the amount the drop in sponsorship will have? There are many that don't, including the evidence of Celtic, a club which has tried to do it this way and failed. What makes you think Saints will succeed? Again, how much do you think this revenue stream will bring in? For all the negative news I don't think it's worth it.

I cannot believe I've had to attend a course today and will have too again tomorrow. So which way is the swing-o-meter going after todays events?

Steve, I tried to save the JPT score but it doesn't show it has like the league fixtures (well the first two).

maybe that's why there are more on here than the main board!

I recommend 'no smoke, no fire' by Dave Jones, a person who was accussed of a crime which he did not commit but many people thought he did based on conjecture and accusation.

You two are a great double act and certainly lighten the mood on here... thanks.

sent three decent and unbiased messages and not one has got on but i did say you may as well go for a long lunch!

Thanks Hutch, always informative like your other posts.

And a third one where people can debate issues in a sensible and constructive manner.

Colin Farmery isn't looking forwward to the season, but I'm surprised other teams' fans haven't predicted the skates for relegation in the Championship Review in the guardian.

Any news on Holmes? I thought he could do well at this level, but if he is injured again only after preseason, then his future must be question. Lallana, Puncheon, Schneiderlin and Holmes out which leaves Hammond, Wotton, Pulis, Mills (sustained injury on sat), O-C Gobern and McNish.

1) Yes and I wonder when the slash disappeared there were those that were arguing lack of empathy with the fans etc 2) Fans know about the TBT, why not create an opportunity to increase readership of the OS by adding a page about Ted Bates, the trophy and the reason behind cancelling/postponing it. A little effort can go along way.

The Wedding day cost about £2.5k, with £2k the cost of the photograph! That was one thing we didn't scrimp on as it's not something you can do again and we wanted some decent photos of the event. The drink we got from Tesco when it was 25% off and an extra 5% for a case, so got some decent champagne a couple of months before the day, food was from Waitrose catering, my mum made the cake (her hobby) and the reception was at our house.

the official JPT website for you ;-)

Thanks for the summary, it's saved me a few miniutes of trawling.

meh the multitasking is not working for me, how do you do the post count on a thread?

how do you the post count? I'm sure most post belong to just a few, besides, there is nothing to stop them starting an 'update....' thread.

The rate in Spain now for any new contracts is 43%, Germany is 45%, Italy is 43% while France is 40%. So would the difference (10% or less) be worth a move away from home? I can understand not so many foreign stars coming over but the english players don't do playing abroad.

lol

crikey, that's a good one, I had almost forgot about him.

I think we have a duty to ask questions on issues that Hutch has raised to get a complete picture, although much may change from the days proceedings, in fact if it goes completely against them, they may as well call it a wake.

A valid point, however as the PL earn ~£600m pounds from the overseas TV rights as the global brand. The skates could only clain image rights on the club name and players - just how many skate shirts have made it out of portsea Island?

who to beleive? HurleyBurley or Stu... only one way to find out.
