hypochondriac

It's because I said I knew someone who confirmed what he had. I didn't say it was a negative thing.

I got absolutely roasted on here when I said that in the summer. It's a invasion of privacy apparently to even mention it.

Indeed. We couldn't afford him even if we wanted him back and he wanted to come here.

Get Steve Grant to trace the IP to Phil Parson's office.

I've sussed it Johannes (and) Rasmus Openly Bullshitts Big shorts. Hiding in plain sight.

Well pointed out. We've found one lads.

I agree. Labour have capitulated to their back benchers.

There are no rumours.

Nice to have an area of agreement with you for a change.

Don't say Chinaman. It's a slur apparently...

And you can see why!

You're also correct that local authorities are legally required to spend the vast majority of their budget on things they have no choice over. That means they are reduced to presiding over the tiny percentage left over to make any choices with. A much better situation would be to have more rigorous and impartial assessments of SEND, fully fund those who actually require it across the country directly from central government, remove it from those who have lesser needs abd allow local authorities a proper budget where they can make actual choices for their communities. It's mad that an area of high disadvantage with large amounts of SEND have a far lower budget for other things than a more affluent area.

I know that happens. It is also the case that funding relies to.alarge degree on the people writing the applications and how bloody minded the parent is. Parents who don't give much of a toss about their children or who are incapable of making a fuss or who are worn down by the system get overlooked or ignored. A parent willing to make enough fuss will receive support if they know the right things to say and do even if their child doesn't actually require the support over someone who does.

Do we know exactly what was said at that meeting?

Doubt they will be dumping him given they've paid money to use him for the season.

Very much doubt that's going to happen.

Who is fab and where has he said this?

If i was in charge I'd loan out one of our keepers and get the Sunderland keeper in on loan. I'd get a tall striker possibly on loan and maybe jwp if he wants to come. I'd offload Aribo and Edozie and maybe Downes, bring back Bree and it looks like Jelert is going back for some odd reason. With everyone fit my team would be: Patterson Bree/Mads Wood/Stephens THB Wellington Romeu/jwp Charles/Jander Fellows/Armstrong Scienza/Robinson Azaz New striker/Stewart

In fairness, much of the funding for SEND children relies on the experience and nouse of the people writing the applications. I've seen plenty of examples of children being refused with more extensive needs than someone else who is accepted based solely on the person who knows how to write the application in order to get it accepted. So not entirely erroneous then.

Do you think there was never an intention to break any manifesto commitments at any point? Probably not a very smart idea to lead the markets up the garden path then. Hardly instills confidence and markets aren't fans of unpredictability. What was that pre budget statement about if not telegraphibg the breaking of the manifesto?

That's true. Personality and liability of managers goes a long way. It's not solely performance.

According to the words of the chief exec that is not the case.

See the post three below your one.

Firstly there's zero percent chance the club sees things that way. Secondly what's your plan? 4 years amassing a new team in the championship with dwindling revenues and the quality you do unearth sold to stay afloat?

I was partially correct: You'd rather be investing in football, in the playing squad. So there will be up and down moments. "My ask, simply sitting here, is to stay behind the manager because if we do want to keep the same face, managing the football club, we've got to stay behind that person through ups and downs" The clear implication being that he was removed because the fans had all turned on him.
