I know someone who is a neighbour of his in Winchester, who says he is late all the time for everything, but to be fair , that doesn't necessarily mean he is a liability. BTW he and his girl friend are going to find Wallasey a bit different to Winchester!

Just as as long as he signs the petition now https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/131215 #regrexit

Not just NI, most footballers wages quoted in the press are tax paid, ie the club pays the tax for them and they actually take home the obscene amounts in their contracts.

Don't know why the OP has started this thread today with a week old article ,but since that was published I thought we'd been told that Koeman was offered a new contract that included a break clause after one year ..... I'm presuming a clause that allowed him to go under certain conditions ,eg Barcelona or Arsenal wanted him. if that was the case, then it seems eminently reasonable to me.

I was quoting the BBC with 7%. this from poundsterlinglive.com Pound to euro exchange rate today down 6.4% at 1.2222 Euro to pound exchange rate: 0.8180 Pound to dollar exchange rate today is 9.8% down at 1.3415 Pound to Australian dollar exchange rate today 6.35% down at 1.8297 Pound to New Zealand Dollar exchange rate today 6.6% down at 1.9174 Pound to Swiss Franc exchange rate today 8.57% down at 1.3050 Pound to Yen exchange rate today 13.77% down at 1.3628 Anyway you look at it, today isn't a good day to try to get a foreigner to sign a contract of employment in the UK!

The pound has dropped 7% against the Euro, less than against the dollar because the euro also dropped a bit. It does seriously make you wonder if our prospective manager, whoever he is but assuming he is not Britsih, will have his agent frantically upping his wage demands this morning.

I had that problem a few weeks ago, whenever I viewed the site on my ipad. It became virtually unusable for a while, but then recently the 'prize' ads stopped ... nothing I'd done. At present it is just slow for me on my laptop, whilst the 'slow running script' runs, and weirdly is much quicker on my phone or ipad.

There's some really interesting stuff on this thread ..... Ought to be a sticky mods.

"De Boer’s agent confirmed to the Daily Echo there is no interest from Saints, while sources in Bournemouth have said that Eddie Howe has indicated he would not leave the Cherries for a move to St Mary’s at this stage." Quote from the Echo above about Howe ,but then a fortnight ago the echo would have been saying much the same about Koeman and Everton.

Me too. Almost unusable.

Can someone explain please why Katharina needed to increase her loan to the club if we made a profit of £15 million?

the thought of thousands of .saints fans walking around with VIRGIN plastered across their shirts is quite amusing!

Here we go again, just when I thought I understood it. I thought that if Liverpool win tonight, they go into the Champions league yes, but that then England would only get 2 Europa League places, so West Ham would miss out on a place?

It was a company that they contracted. Many of the functions of a big organisation like that will be sub-contracted, but the responsibility still lies with United. Why on earth didn't it occur to one of their staff that the scare might just be related to the training they'd arranged for this company to run 3 days earlier? I'm surprised there isn't any talk of a fine ..... and IMO there s a case for just awarding the game to Bournemouth.

The PA really is pathetic isn't it? No one round me even realised it was Dan Harding. And why on earth didn't they show pictures of the '76 team on the big screens whilst they were talking to them? What we saw in the Kingsland was the backs of some people in suits in the distance, whilst someone mumbled over the loudspeakers.

No price reduction for me and the wife in the so-called 'centre'. Trouble is, we fans are such mugs that the ordinary rules of business don't apply as they would if we were just customers. I expect we'll just pay again. Buggered if I'll spend on any extras though, like a shirt or refreshments at rip off prices, and even a programme is only a maybe now.

Yes but to quote the commentators, Clattenburg is "highly regarded" .... Just not by us fans!

Especially when he went back to Spirs to sign Kane !

More like Ward-Prowse.

This. We need a scorer, so wh no try ou own youngster, who is a scorer?

He's still only 21, and he's still developing. Can't understand why so many on here are determined to run him down.

Playing on the left again!

Whoever it is, I'd rather not be playing them for his first game in charge. Their players are bound to go all out, and the crowd ditto.

The ref wouldn't be human if he weren't affected by discovering he should have given 2 penalties .... Would be bound to affect his second half. In in fact has that just happened?!

serious question...... Do refs actually review their decisions at half time, either by looking at highlights or even just by discussing it with the linesmen?
