It wasn't an undisclosed fee, it was a disclosed unfee...I think.

I think swansea have developed an undisclosed disclosing  device the klingons may be in trouble.

Okay. Early Christmas quiz time. 

A supporter of what club, made this beyond deluded comment about what player..... 

Football is a pretty small world and most will know what happened to xx. He went to the dark side, sat on the bench, was vilified and his life, finances apart, must have been uncomfortable for those two and a half years. Fans look at him and will have their views about him but I bet he will have lost lots of respect which he’s only now recovering.

We are talking about the cup game on Tuesday, hence me pointing out our awful record against non league teams in that competition. If you are trying to point out that we were recently a non league side, I already knew that

Miah you know that I know that. Keep posting and a very merry Christmas to you and your family (no jokes about celebrating a week early).

and I did mean have a great Christmas.

We have a dismal record in the FA Cup, particularly against non league teams. Having said that, I think we are an okay side this season, so it's by no means a foregone conclusion!

only in the cup? you were second best in their (division/league/whatever)

Redundancy, sadly. 

But it turned out ok and I’m earning more now anyway

Was interesting work though, particularly having sight of the player salaries!!

glad for you, made redundant four times came out smiling each time but funnily enough the first was classed as a job for life but it pays a pension and not yet 55

On the insurance side of things, if Cardiff had travel insurance for their employees then this would strictly be for business purposes only. I’m sure the insurer would state that a flight to see friends and family would not be construed as ‘business’ purposes. 

With Life insurance, well in a previous workplace of mine I used to look after a number of Premier League clubs Group Life insurance policies. Generally the cover was £2m, some were a bit higher at £4m. This was a few years ago so the cover levels may well have increased but certainly not to the tune of the £15m fee. 

The cover on the policy would not have had to be notified and agreed by the insurer, the way it worked was that any ‘new entrants’ are covered immediately upon joining the club (the admin gets done later, but cover is in place on day 1). So the insurer is liable as long as he was a Cardiff player. I guess that is what they’re arguing over, ie whether he was legally an employee of Cardiff on his date of death. 

Likewise I also looked after the PFA’s life insurance arrangement. So if Sala had been registered with the PFA prior to his date of death he’d also be covered for up to £2m with them. 

Wow why did you leave such an exciting place of work? was it for more money?

There are 40 year old gasheads staggering home from the pubs in Patchway and Filton right about now, they will stop for a wazz against their neighbours’ garden walls before realisation hits them hard ... and they will slur out loud to themselves: “******’ hell, I was 20 years old the last time we finished above them pesky teds, I was a face in Chasers, I had Ollie’s mobile number, I was locked out at every single away game cos we always took massive numbers away..”  - then when the wazz has dwindled and the cold, harsh night kicks in, they will look skywards and silently wonder “What happened?” ...

I would like to point out was born in Patchway (red all my life once able to make an informed opinion) brought my first house in Flton (still red) live in wales(not quite as red as the egg chasers) catch the train too PSN(to make a certain poster happy)

a few fans get on at Patchway and more at abbey wood don't knock the north of Bristol.

Ha ha, look at you sheeee’ds, 2 points off the top of the EFL, on sky sports almost weekly over the coming month, superb stadium that’s the envy of many, all questioning the merits of signing an ex Barcelona player, as a quarter of your squad is away in international duty. 

pathetic - and I’m going to knock one out because some manning the videprinter made a typo and put “Rovers” instead of “City”, because it makes me feel better about being a cvnt”

Gemune question, not having a djg for any reasonable contributors who post on here and support Aston Villa, Derby and Sheffield Wednesday.

IF that fixed asset loophole hadn't been opened up seemingly in error or had been noted sharpish and closed that same season ie before any- and I include Reading- of the stadia sale and leaseback and indeed the other fixed assets applicable what could be done?

I accept Derby sold players so are in a slightly different boat to the others, especially Aston Villa and Sheffield Wednesday, plus their losses seemed borderline but still.

@DerbyFan @OwlsonlineAdmin

Any reasonable Aston Villa fans on here? Quite interested to see 'the plan' in the event of that loophole being shut soon after it opened or better yet not made available in the first place from fans of sides who did it. Mainly Aston Villa abd Sheffield Wednesday though but I also suspect less of Tomori, Mount, Wilson, Jozefzoon. Maybe 2-3 of them?

Loophole   = I can get away with this

Airtight      = I can't get away with this

watertight = oh bollocks

Can’t agree with this any more.

I have been too and it’s  the most harrowing and sobering place you could imagine. I think it’s somewhere everyone should visit if they could, because the humility to gain from such a place is truly staggering. You can’t overstate how haunting it is. And it’s really tough, if you go early on your trip, you won’t enjoy the rest it will play on you for a while; if visited at the end, it’s a really sobering way to leave that will leave you in tears and detract from any enjoyment you had from a beautiful country. 

To even turn up in a football jersey carrying a flag is utterly stomach turning. 

But let’s not lose sight,  it is one of those that can’t be generalised against a fan base.

Instead you can only say this individual is an example that there are some out there - unfortunately - that have no class whatsoever. The person in the photo and the person behind the camera, they are psychopaths because no one of sound mind could contemplate their actions being acceptable. 

Even seeing that, and reminiscing of my visit, I won’t lie, it’s left me quite emotional sat on my sofa. How on earth can someone visit the place and not get it?!

Its quiet sad that quite a few years ago I was reading a book about a french town Oradour-sur-Glane and realised that it was close to where we were staying so we went to visit the town.

It is exactly as it was left by the SS (minus bodies) we decided not to take any photos as it was to upsetting to see. The woman who escaped from the church and survived lives(lived) in the new town the french built next to it.

Also did the concentration camp North of Berlin and decided I had seen enough sad sights (again no photos).

just typing this brought the memories back.

Lets hope the world has learnt its lesson
