We may end up with blue shorts though.

But everyone had been talking Swiss until this load of Red Bull on the Mad site.

Oh F*ck! Where are the Toblerones?

Aren't you the one who saw the Range Rover with the Swiss plates though Dog? You should be close enough to tell us. Or was that just BS before?

Pinnacle does have a real whiff about it though. It may be a better bet with Heidi and the cowherds. Maybe it's that ex-Spurs manager from Basle involved.

Switzerland is land-locked so that can't count as overseas at least

True, the franc must be fairly near the bottom at about CHF1.7=£1. Normal trading is above 2.0, nearer 2.2.

Tough call but it's no different than BA workers working for a month without pay. May be some high paid footballers can too so the regular staff and scholars can be paid.

Not so. Just listen to 606 on a Saturday when Manure or Liverpool have lost.

ditto

We need some on-tour shenanagens to get things really livened up, a la Steve Moran. Oh no thats being wrecked during pre-season. Sorry.

Schumacher was a decent footballer. Maybe he is involved. His pad is over near Lake Konstanz.

A to B and enough grunt and space to lug kit around basically.

I run the company and it is for one of my guys. Thanks

End of August, a cracking start Grommit!

New company car possibility. VW Passat Estate 2.0TDi S 140ps or Toyota Avensis Estate 2.0 D-4D T2 125ps?

Just to let you know that Ineos have not been in the best shape going into this recession as they were highly leveraged in order to purchase process plants from the likes of BP and Basell and were desperately trying to refinance these loans or they would come completely unstuck as the petrochemicals and chemicals markets roll back production due to the dramatic fall off in demand. When the demand does come back there is so much new production coming on stream in the Middle East and China that Ineos' plants could be uncompetitive and shut down. How deep are his pockets? Just a thought.

I saw him a few times for the reserves and he had as much about him as Schneiderlin, if not more. Another silly decision not to keep a scholar who would have had more commitment and should have been brought through fully..

I heard that the new owner is Paris Hilton. The club will be the subject of her new reality TV Channel 4 programme "My Best British Soccer Sh*g" and will spend weeks going through the first and reserve teams (with tasks such as shooting practice, heading balls, taking it on the chest, standing jump, running on, pulling up short, coming from behind, etc) and whittling down the field to the "last man standing". I understand that JP Saejs is the early favourite.

Question. With whom are the players contracts, SFC or SLH? Are there any circumstances where the contracts would become null and void due to the company going into Admin or are we obliged to retain all staff in new contracts under TUPE regulations? I thought that TUPE only applied if you wanted to retain staff, and that you could get rid of any other staff if you wanted to.

Wake up and smell the coffee

Souness

Before (excited anticipation and predictions) and after (consolation and much hand wringing). Never failed for last few seasons.

The Guide Dog, proper beer.
