The Tories narrowly win West Midlands mayoralty

Adam Blackmore‏ @AdamBlackmore Decision is not linked to any potential takeover, with club 'restructuring' leadership.

Southampton FC‏ @SouthamptonFC #SaintsFC can confirm that chief executive Gareth Rogers is leaving the club to pursue new opportunities: https://southamptonfc.com/news/2017-05-05/club-statement-gareth-rogers-chief-executive-announcement

Anyone ask him why his tenure at Disney ended in acrimony? http://www.slate.com/articles/business/moneybox/2002/08/the_louse_in_the_mouse_house.html

Losing their pebbles as well as their marbles perhaps?

You missed out the bit about UKIP being annihilated...

Perhaps I missed it in my hasty skim read through, but I can't see where they are aiming to repay all the creditors that sacrificed 96 pence in the pound just to keep the cesspit of a football club alive in some shape or form. Surely the honourable thing for a "wealthy investor" such as Eisner to do would be to offer to reimburse those that lost money? A bit like what Liebherr ensured happened when he bought Saints. Or maybe they should just sweep that under the carpet in their efforts to patch up their dump of a ground. Priorities, priorities...

Any chance of uploading a quick photo of the scene using your smartphone kind sir?

Fair point

Adam Blackmore‏ @AdamBlackmore Always good speaking to @ryanbertrand3 - he just dismissed reports of bust-ups at #saintsfc between Puel & players, and of him being unhappy

Some career highlights... To a Scottish driving instructor in Oban "How do you keep the natives off the booze long enough to pass the test?” To the President of Nigeria, dressed in traditional robes "You look like you’re ready for bed!" To a group of British exchange students living in China "If you stay here much longer you'll all be slitty–eyed." To a British tourist in Hungary "You can't have been here that long — you haven't got a pot belly." To a British student who had been trekking in Papua New Guinea "You managed not to get eaten then?" To Australian Aborigines during a visit to Australia "Do you still throw spears at each other?” To a young fashion designer "You didn't design your beard too well, did you? You really must try better with your beard." To a 13-year-old on a visit to a space shuttle "Well, you'll never fly in it, you're too fat to be an astronaut." To a group of deaf children standing by a Caribbean steel band in Cardiff "If you're near that music it's no wonder you're deaf". On seeing an exhibition of "primitive" Ethiopian art "It looks like the kind of thing my daughter would bring back from her school art lessons." On the recession "Everybody was saying we must have more leisure. Now they are complaining they are unemployed." On banning firearms after the Dunblane massacre "If a cricketer, for instance, suddenly decided to go into a school and batter a lot of people to death with a cricket bat, which he could do very easily, I mean, are you going to ban cricket bats?”
