Looks a decent appointment by Sheffield Wednesday.  Even if he can't keep them up this season - and it looks a tough ask - he looks the right man to take them back up should they get relegated. 

Notice Lambert has left Ipswich.  Not really surprising in view of the failure to get back into the Championship.  Once again his vision and that of the owners were apparently different.  It will be interesting to see where he turns up next.  It's been several years since he last achieved anything as a manager but, as we know only too well, that doesn't seem to matter these days at some clubs.

He's being linked to the Celtic job in one newspaper

I would hazard a guess that they may well lose money on £2 a go for a happy meal Paul-They use it a both a loss leader (Mum/Dad takes kids in for happy meal and then spend £10 on big mac etc on themselves) and also as an investment in the future-get them hooked early and they will more than pay back over the subsequent years.

My Dad used to work for a a bank and used to get quite a few applications for loans to buy McD franchises when they first moved over to the UK. From what I remember, there wasn't much profit in the burgers, the big money was made from the drinks. Back then it was less than 0.5p for the syrup for one drink, everything else you charged for the drink after that was profit.
