    You should see the Chinese burn he's been working on now hair pulling is out.

  3. WITHOUT PREJUDICE Realistically the law is only going to be used if serious abuse is found to be happening. Ofcom isn't set up to police this and it's targeted at large companies. Sadly it's targeted in such a way that it's going to be impossible to argue it's prohibitive for smaller sites if you fall afoul of it. In the same way that GDPR or the IOCA laws aren't really enforced. That being said - our esteemed government has been ok to go after carers for overpaying them by £5 so no sane human would want to be left carrying the can for this. The site is run on the Invision Community platform so it would be up to them to provide the tools to handle it. Whether they intend to or not is an open question (there's a support thread where I cannot read the company response because I don't have an account with them where someone asks what they're doing). One might argue it's their responsibility to provide software that's compliant with the Act though as they are the ones providing the service, again, I wouldn't fancy arguing this in court. If Invision were counted as the company providing the service (ie. Platform) to run it then Ofcom would need to go after them (which they really aren't set up to do) which would require extrajudicial treaties in place (ie. the law needs to be recognised in the country Invision operates in). Simply put this act is impossible to enforce against a company operating of a non UK country that doesn't have a UK division. From a technical perspective it's a fucking terrible piece of legislation. TL:DR if the site is owned by someone outside the UK and they have no UK presence it's utterly toothless. If one were to set up a limited company and transfer ownership of Sainstweb to it then any fines would fall on the company and thus be subject to limited liability (ie. the company would go bankrupt but the individuals would not). From a quick skim of the the Act on the Government site then the penalties for compliance seem to fall at the company level. Reading through the act it's clearly targeted at companies rather than individuals so this is something that is a loophole that might be exploitable for smaller sites in a way it wasn't for someone like Facebook or Google. Not that I believe that this is even fully feasible to comply with for either of those companies. * note that I am not a lawyer although I have a decent amount of experience working with lawyers around laws pertaining to the Internet
  4. Different kind of target
  5. Real Madrid. RM to RM means it's destiny. He'll finally have the players to play his system.

    95% is better than 100%. If someone had offered us a 5 percent chance of staying up last week we'd have been elated

    The guy has a record of punching above his weight, coaching how to defend and counter attacking at speed. Which if you were writing a job description for our next manager would sound an awful lot like what we're looking for. No Premier League experience but then neither had Poch, Koeman or Ralph. Worst case - we get relegated and aren't tied to an expensive severance. Best case we somehow stay up and we've got our next manager. Inbetween case we still get relegated but things pick up. Just as long as we don't do a Hughes. As with all new Saints managers I'm willing to look for the best in him before harsh reality intervenes (whilst hoping it won't). Going for left field Championship picks hasn't worked out for us so let's try someone who has managed in a tough league.
  10. He took a side with a very limited budget to 9th and 10th in Serie A which shows he can work with what he's got against bigger and better resourced teams. Which is a huge plus point. Any manager coming in needs to have a record of over performing their means. That being said he didn't work out at Roma so 🤷‍♂️ Defensively his team conceded 3rd least amount of goals however struggled to deal with teams hitting them at pace (which will happen in the Premier League) so mixed there but at least there's some hope he can coach a team to defend. His teams were known for hitting teams quickly on the counter attack. Which will be a breath of fresh air.
  11. Gotta save their pennies to go shopping in January for everything except the striker we've needed for fucking ever.
  12. It's stage two of the grieving process.
  13. That's the first test. You can tell a lot about a manager by seeing what they do with Jack Stephens when they arrive.
  14. The Saints-y thing to do would be to dick around well into the new year. It's clear the powers that be weren't ready to do a manager search. It's Christmas next week. Then new year. I believe Rasmus and Henrik have only scratched the surface of the laughing stock potential of us changing manager. The perfect time to get it done would be the day after the January window shuts.
  15. It depends on the company's bylaws or articles of association but it's likely that, as majority shareholder, Dragan can remove any executive from the company. Typically you can remove a CEO by a simple majority vote and Dragan would have to be insane to have it any other way. Having the title of co-founder doesn't make offer any protection from this. Given the speed at which Martin was removed assuming that Dragan finally lost patience from a position of security a couple of weeks ago it's safe to assume he can assert himself. The trouble is Rasmus and Henrik were the football brains he trusted to build his empire and it's plenty easy to replace them with other chancers.
  16. I feel slightly sad as Friday had become trust-the-process day where I could reliably expect to be told that our football was working and how well we've trained this week. Now if I want some pre weekend gaslighting I'm going to have to do something drastic like phone my ex
  17. That's more commitment than we ever showed in the tackle under RM. Tick for possession given away cheaply and offering no threat to the goal.
  18. To be fair, Wilcox doesn't seem to have left the club in a better state than he joined it and isn't exactly pulling up trees at Man Utd. I'd rather have a highly competent DoF that nobody knows about it than one who is looking for his big club move. Not to say that the current bloke is that in any way shape or form.
  19. Well obviously he needed to do something to attract Rasmus's notice
  20. But the dog would turn it's nose up at the vegan Sunday lunch and go hungry.
  21. When they finally choose someone in January time we'll dream of the time it might have been the Danish chap.
  22. No need to get angry mate. It's just people talking on the internet.
  23. If you want you people to take you seriously maybe show curiosity as to why they hold their opinion rather than dismissing it out of hand. Liverpool have far more resources than Saints - that's a fact. How deep their squad goes is a matter of opinion. If we're only allowed to use objective facts then maybe go back through your last few months posting in support of Russell Martin and maybe start writing some apologies for being a hypocrite.
  24. So she meets the unobtainable criteria for Rasmus sending 3 months trying to re ruit her then.
