    They already have this. In the early days the PP were to soften the blow on contracts that could not be reduced. Today, it is seen as a way to super boost the chances of promotion back to the Prem.  The statistics prove that it is very hard to break into the PP cycle with financial fair play. I still think it is dubious that the competition does not allow any owner to match the payments made to the PP clubs. It is unfair competition. 

    Absolutely an owner of a non PP club should be able to fund (if he can and wants to) the same amount as the highest PP.  It’s an absolute nonsense that clubs who have failed get such high rewards.

  3. Wedlock’s Pub

    Another one here with some great memories of the Wedlocks (and the Star, as was), best most of them stay buried, although I must admit after some nights in there, I don’t have total recollection 😀

    It is a real shame that it was closed and demolished, with some thought, as others have said it could have come under the clubs ownership and been used for something, even it was a club shop and cafe (continental style, where you can get a beer would have been good).  Plenty of space upstairs that could have been used.

    The banal, repetitive and brain dead adverts on commercial radio.

    The repeated playing of See it, Say it, Sorted on trains and at stations.

    Christmas 

    People eating crisps and rustling the packets on trains or planes, along with the tinny noise from their headphones, sets off my Misophonia.

    Another rant at the selfish Lycra clad cyclists, had a couple the other day, all the way across Claverham moor, two abreast absolutely no intention of letting me past.

    I wish they’d dump Mardle tho……jeez…….he talks some shit………:grr:

    Has TomF come back and hacked your account……. He always had multiple rants about Mardle every world championship 😀

    And on the subject of shit, that woman they have doing the post match interviews is cringeworthy.

    Sky have a long way to go to replace Dave Clark, he was a great presenter and interviewer.

  18. Those who have sadly just died and in the public eye - 2023

    Just watching Shane's funeral on Sky news, Nick Cave's heart rending version of Rainy Night in Soho and various surviving Pogues and Dubliners turning the service into a party with a glorious uncensored Fairy Tale of New York really did bring a tear to the eye.

    I watched a live feed of it, some real moving moments, the eulogy from his sister especially.

    One of the memorable lines for me was the priest, who after the pogues performed said “I think I’ve died and gone to heaven”.

    Such sad news. One of the original punks and a true innovator.

    The Pogues show at the Studio, Frogmore Street in 1985 was joyous and unforgettable.

    Fairytale of New York to be Christmas number 1.

    Rest in peace.

    Not sure who was drunker that night, Shane or me, but what a gig.  
    There are a few FB Pogues and Shane groups and there are some fantastic stories being told on them, people sharing their memories.  What a life, what a talent, sadly missed.

    Agree.  Re but in bold, I think if you are allowed to have influence who your successor is, then that might be different…and again I’ve no idea how the conversations went.

    Maybe some owners are wary of the out going Manager influencing who steps into their shoes after Ferguson / Moyes, as that didn’t end well.

    Just seen Wael's shortlist.

    • Josef Fritzl
    • Anjem Choudary
    • Kenneth Noye
    • Abu Hamza al-Masri
    • Mark Ashton

    Ashton appears to be the only one that isn't currently incarcerated, so he must be the favourite.

    But as Abu Hamza al-Masri (Captain Hook) already appears on their crest, my money is on him.

    I would think the ultimate Manager to present post match interviews for the sags, would be Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf, their very own Comical Ali.

    I’ve always been mostly supportive of SL, well, not some of his appointments, but a few years back he seemed genuinely interested in the club, I wonder if it feels more like a burden than a pleasure now, if so maybe it’s time to move on, but I hope if he does sell up, due diligence and a proper fit and proper person check is completed, so we don’t end up with some asset stripping charlatan.
