PHILINFRANCE Posted June 21, 2023 Report Share Posted June 21, 2023 (edited) This would explain the close friendship between Joe and Ed. Taken from the Bristol Live article, although it omits the fact that they are both familiar with Courts. In 2011, and now a Newcastle player, Barton switched from adidas to Puma boots and he and Jennings crossed paths, sharing hometowns, a love of golf (both play off a low single fingers handicap), sport in general beyond just football, and possessing personalities that meshed and complimented each other.

I think the author means complement, though no doubt the are regularly complimenting each other too. Though Joey is more inclined to compliment himself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that they were advertising for an unpaid intern to do their accounting I wouldn't be surprised. I don't see Wael running out of money any time soon as he's loaded but yes I can well see an administrative error being made when you're running your finance team on a shoestring. Though tbf I considered applying for the Financial Controller job at City maybe a dozen years ago but the salary level was so far below market wages that I couldn't bring myself to do it. Football clubs tend to run their back offices on an absolute shoestring despite throwing money about left right and centre. And as the saying goes: "If you pay peanuts then you get monkeys." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porto Red Posted June 21, 2023 Report Share Posted June 21, 2023 8 hours ago, Swede said: So, as far as I can make out, they've done an "artists impression" of their new permanent structure but no detailed drawings. They haven’t submitted it to the council for planning approval. Presumably, therefore they also haven’t consulted the residents immediately behind this proposed structure for comment & how it could impact them. They plan to open it in August 23 ready for the new season and are actively selling season tickets to their lemmings for it. I hope there's a sag out there who can read this, they'll then understand why we laugh at them so much. Unbelievably tinpot. Big ask Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair play if they do! I see where you're getting confused. You've assumed 3/4 means 3 or 4. In actual fact they're bringing Ex PSG & Bradford player Bruno Rodriguez out of retirement. Having had his right leg amputated he is now three quarters of a footballer...... (Yes I realise that humour is dark....!) 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BetterRedthanBlue Posted June 22, 2023 Report Share Posted June 22, 2023 Saw this on slagchat. Apparently £300,000 is a "very large fee". God only knows how they'd describe our free for Ross McCrorie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swede Posted June 22, 2023 Report Share Posted June 22, 2023 £300K is a "very large" fee for the sags. That's larger than a Tilson. So that will be multiple bags of 50p coins, fivers, 10p coins, several postal orders, raiding Bert the disabled gate man's hi vis for half a dozen fivers he's pocketed plus a nice watch all in several Sainsburys bags. Yes indeed, £300K is a very large fee. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
