Where does be Say that Roger? You hearing voices?

Hursley is nice - well used to be anyway. Pretty close to Winch, village, seems to fit the bill.

Which one of us driver?

Hi Jeff, Sorry it's sold. How's yours going? You been busy? What time do you finish? Keep the change. Cheers mate.

But does he have the jacket? I think not.

Where the fuxks Bearsy? He's supposed to be controlling this sort of thing but instead he is on the main board posting things things he has put on other teams forums. Is he shacked up with MLG in some stadium expansion haven?

If le tiss wasn't a legend player andwas an accountant instead what would you think of him?

Do you take in all COC has to offer Turks or do you reject it preferring to put your own thing forward?

Lols - dumb bear!

Ha! you haven't been reading the thread then Chuck, plenty disagree about it. Matt can do and say what he likes. He was a legend on the pitch, therefore he must be a genius off it with impeccable morals and judgement.

Bloody hell Charlie - I find myself agreeing with you more and more each day. Whatever next?

I've never seen you so excited diggers!

Ken Monkou used to use that 'peepy hole' - bear told me. Careful you don't get your eye poked out.

What's the point - it could be their day off!

You might be right, I don't know. how do you know the filming is done on Thursdays? When do the players have their 2nd day off. I guess with training they need a day off every 2-3 days of training/playing. Sunday being one, Wednesday or Thursday make sense being the other.

I don't know why but I know it happens. Beattie et al used to always go to Ikon and Diva on a Wednesday night, when I spoke to him about it he said that they always have Thursday mornings off. That was under GH. The players do usually work on Saturday, almost every week. Add to that training on Mondays, the odd game on Tuesday or Wednesday, I expect there is a team meeting going over the next match and travel on Fridays. They need another day off in the week, Thursday seems as good a day as any.

Exactly! It is like when crack dealers give out free samples. It is wasn't for the £2 tickets and the going every other week with my mates when I was young, I wouldn't be paying £35 plus another £30 in petrol these days. Get them in - get them hooked, NC should have this as his motto.

Or they could have a morning off due to the internationals last night?

Turkish reading going mental as we speak, their Shane Long le god basking in his glory.

That's good Bletchsan, you can help with this one then. Today's manga: By the way mods - what is the ruling on manga tits on the muppetshow? It is not like it is real porn - no one is getting boned or anything, more a bit like Japanese Dear Deirdre.

Thanks Pap, Sorry mate its not true, I just made it up for Lols.

Double woosh! Well I do (well not just corporate but close enough). Customers always want more for their money, think things were better before, suppliers (LM is in here) always want over paid for what they do. NC's job is to find the right balance. It sounds like he is not doing well (from what you say, I have no idea how the finances compare) but he is a good businessman by all accounts and I expect he will get someone in who can make more money for the club. If LM was on 70k it sounds like the spending under lowe was a bit high, therefore I doubt it was making as much money as it probably should. Get the right person in there and they will find the right balance. As a customer, you will still moan as it was of course better when loads of cash was being splashed but if the balance is right, you will keep coming back. Its not a difficult thing to run as most of the entertainment is sorted, get the food and the drink right and you are most of the way there. The other stuff is just little touches they can work on And improve over time.

Do you run a successful corporate hospitality business?

You can't blame me for the bad food! That's just going too far. What if we got a more recent star on a lower salary, maybe a coupe of recently retired pros, some decent food, good service and free booze, would that not be better?

I am actually just arguing with crackers because of the spin bit. I actually think ambassadors are a good thing but not just for attracting rich ****heads into corporate. The role is much better served if it is in attracting and meeting new and potential players, much like Zidane at Madrid or Viera at Man City. It was the role Inthiught Del Piero was coming for. Would rather the first face a potential new signing saw was a legend of the game like him than Les Reed.
