That's fine but Andronikou's conduct would seriously be in question then. His duty is to preserve the business and secure a good result for the creditors. HMRC would be all over him if he tried to play hardball too much.

Are you wondering why you didn't?

And now you're wondering why?

Crikey! There are some awful club crests out there! The Cherries' one looks like the cover of some Spectrum game or something.

This last bit is true. BA cabin crews generally seem older, less slutty and less gay than other cabin crews. If they think they will walk into another job they're wrong IMO.

It is the principle not the actual affordability. £400 is nothing to Stuey. Even though he won't be able to afford it if the installments don't finish by December and he's getting a lob on that this post is about him.

What a load of pony. You'll give the poor lad a dimplex.

For the benefit of Unite and, presumably, to the eternal gratitude of its members:

Didn't Paul Telfer voluntarily terminate his contract with the Cherries when he got a bad injury? Nice chap is Telfs.

Seriously? Gawd 'elp us.

Surely if there is one thing a Union ought to be competent at it's organising strikes within the parameters of the relevant statutes. Honestly, if I was a member I would be enraged at the complete waste of funds caused by what appears to be simple imcompetence.

As a favour to someone else.

Diop should have been booked twice in the first 16 minutes and once again after about an hour. When a team is determined to use nasty tactics it is up to the ref to set a benchmark. There is "letting the game go" but there is also "encouraging cynicism". More of a disgrace than the ref though, who got the major decisions right after all and otherwise had a pretty good game, is that awful pitch. What an embarrassment and what a predictable piece of incompetence from the FA.

Hence my point around managing your finances. Nevermind.

Yes, I appreciate that if the club doesn't offer a felixible payment plan that will affect lots of people but I don't see anything to suggest they will shorten the payment period, it may just slip back through the calendar a bit. Of course if the price goes up alot or flexibility around payment is lost then it will be a barrier to some people. Those aren't the reasons I was given when I asked the question before though. The reason I was given was "I'll spend it on something else"!

Of course everyone knows that. What they don't know is why you can't simply put the money you would have spent on the ST under the previous schedule to one side and spend it on your ST once the new schedule is released?

Why?

What I don't understand is why all the reporting has focussed on Triesman and the England bid when surely the far bigger story, of much more interest, is whether or not Spain and Russia are indeed engaged in, or are attempting to engage in, collusion involving referee bribing.

I asked this same question and was informed that the answer is that some people spend whatever they have over the summer and are incapable of putting aside the money they would otherwise have spent by now on the ST. They all seem a bit obsessed by the notion that it is impossible to retain deposits in a bank account over the Christmas period too. Strange eh?

No.

On the contrary, I think he is. How do you think we're financing a major development of the training ground? That's not going to be paid for out of our revenue which probably barely covers our costs. We could finance it through debt but Cortese has already said Markus would be taking care of it. He's already put his hand in his pocket to the tune of at least £12-15m (reportedly). He knows that if that £12-15m is ever going to be worth c.£100m he will probably have to spend a bit more. He bought a business with no cash assets and was willing to spend £1m on his first major transfer. If Saints became a Prem team with a first class infrastructure and debt free we would be worth somewhere around the £100m mark (assuming there is a buyer). I think it is naive in the extreme to think Liebherr wants to run a modest self-financing business; all the signs are that he wants to do whatever is necessary to grow the business, but within the parameters of being debt-free and not overly extravagant.

Suggests we are on amicable terms at the moment... Antonio deal sorted...?

It was clearly not a goal.

Diop and Boateng should have both been sent off by now. Bet those cheats still think they're being hard done by though.
