Cuco must pinch himself often!

What the **** is a "Jeremy Corbyn bag"? I think we have to question the mental well-being of anyone in possession of such a thing and it's a hot day so let's not give her a hard time. Let's put the kettle on and have a nice cuppa out of our Theresa the Leader mug.

I haven't seen a single person say the "on the other hand" element of your post. Who has been saying he's justified (other than other terrorists)?

He was what we needed at the time and, whatever you think of him, he delivered results despite the rough edges. Where we are now though, he would only be any use if he brought another "Markus" with him.

Utter ****.

I don't particularly. I would like to see a general erosion of all stupid religions.

It does look like we're stuck for now. It's just that most intelligent people see your "solution" for the block-headed idiocy that it is and have a bit more gumption about them. They see that becoming unstuck won't happen by running around persecuting vast swathes of the population.

The trust purchased shares in the new football club company with its donations. Each donation was £1,000 and each share was £1,000. The trust had enough donations to buy just over half the shares, I think. The President's bought the rest, again kn the basis of £1,000 per share (but they each own and benefit individually from their shares - there was no collective "Presidents" body). When more money was needed, Presidents subscribed to new shares, of the same class, meaning that the trust shareholding was diluted to under 50%. Eisner has agreed to give the trust and the Presidents £1k for each share. The trust will distribute this money back to the donees in accordance with their individual donations. There's also another offer from Eisner where instead of the £1k now, you get a smaller initial payment but potentially more in the long-run if the club achieves certain footballing targets.

I've told him this before. It's a bit complicated for him, I think.

Ah, the old "it's just a football forum", retreat.

Like I said before, a terrorist's wet-dream. That's what you are.

No, I don't think that's right. They are all the same category of shares so you can't be "under-represented" in terms of voting rights. The Trust may have been over-represented on the board though. Presumably the Presidents that voted "no" are ones who actually wanted to make a decent profit on their shares at some point.

Nelly. I love the way Chinese choose obsolete English names. Makes me chuckle.

So, expand on the solution?

I'm happy enough in my current job. If our competitor offered me three times my wage I would go.

He got them a good home "bounce" but they remained useless away from home and when the pressure was on in crunch games they were awful. Any decision would have to be based on his whole career, not just his time at Hull but I don't think his time at Hull makes him markedly more attractive than he would have been previously; maybe a little, for now knowing the league a bit, but that's about it.

The Pied sub made sense. He was brought on to hug the touch line and get crosses in. Obviously Jay Rod, Long or Sims would have potentially been better but none of those were available at the time. I loved the bloke behind me baying for Clasie or Hojbjerg to come on instead, like they are renowned for goals/assists.

Venables? Likes to attack, tactically astute, players love him, good interview bants, not foreign.

Very cynical but not beyond the realms of possibility!

It wasn't our only chance in the first half. Far from it.

You seem to be confusing "style" as a description of how we play and "style" as an abstract concept.

That is a fair point actually, although arguably more telling in defence than attack. I said before the match, "I bet they score a header".

I like a difficult away game first. It's a free hit and you might catch them a bit rusty. Then ideally a nondescript home match. WBA, Watford, Stoke, Bournemouth etc.

Not a problem if Forster, Long, Jay Rod go. I like Tadic but I also want to see Boufal given some more support and worked into the side as an integral part so wouldn't be too annoyed if Tadic leaves. Opens up a bit more space for Sims, as well, who I think could be really good. Bertrand... well, it's a shame but he's been a bit half-arsed lately so no point losing any sleep over it. Cedric - again, a shame but I think we could sign a decent enough replacement. He's a good player but he's not so good that he will be really hard to replace. The real disappointment will be if VVD leaves, obviously.
