Sit of the article which was in the guardian I believe focuses on the "shops" which were in competition I.e burger chips for a £1.00. That's the issue, it's cheap disasterious "meat" which if tested would most likely pose a risk to health with minimal actual meet content. Fish and chips itself you know better what your getting but it's these cheaper take outs which seemed to garner more focus. Now how many of these takeouts are 4/5 (v.good/excellent) on the council food hygiene rating? I'm prone to the odd curry with the lads nights but in Manchester in the radius I am within there's only 3 out of 17 usually which have that standard whilst a few are under regular inspection having scored 1/2s. Is enough available online when ordering concerning there food hygiene? If customers took a tour of some of these places they'd be truly shocked.

we beat a 4th division team and all is happy again in clappy land

I wouldn't read to much into it either way, it's a cup competition and Cov played a reserve side. Proof is in the league.

Agreed someone who looks s cb playing to close and drifts inside too often, teams expose the space left behind well.

No chance I'd have played Mulgrew, Nyambe isn't good enough as a centre half, Tomlinson deserves a chance, and why not give Chapman a go?

Can't believe Nyambe is, without a doubt one of the worst players I've seen for us.

Well played Dack

Gary Aspden brought out a Spezial range last year I think. He names a few after the area. His Adidas Hynburn were nice trainers.

        

Me too. We should start a thread. 'Match Day Clobber'. It's all a bit 'real ale' and 'techy' round these parts. We need a thread for the fashion-forward, young and beautiful people

Barcelona are complaining to UEFA its a breach of Financial Fair Play. The President of La Liga is threatening to sue.

Incredible. 

Yep on top of the money his papa got from santos to Barcelona. Jerome could learn something here.

I know what is legal or not thank you.

No one should ave any sympathy for Ferguson; he tried to avoid paying his dues and got caught out. 

Flat taxes favour the wealthiest and hit the poorest hardest; presumably you think that's a good thing

As I said Jim lets introduce a flat tax rate in the interests of equality across the board? Would that not be fair?

And there's the rub..... it's entirely wrong that Ferguson's behaviour is legal. Tax evasion is a problem in this country, but tax avoidance is a huge issue too. When the govt is short of money (unless it's  handing over £1bn bribes to the DUP) there are far too many ways for people with clever advisers to avoid paying tax. A vote for Jeremy is a vote to end these tax abuses. 

I think your struggling to separate your emotions/views from what is legal. Tax avoidance is perfectly legal, tax evasion isn't as such remains a crime.

What Ferguson did maybe morally wrong to you and others and that's fine but your not telling me you'd personally rather be left with nothing as opposed to avoiding it and ditching the debt through a perfectly legal route, a route which has been in place for 10s of years including under Tony Liar? Fact he's paid more than you and I probably in his career is also neither here or there but until the country introduces a flat tax rate of 30/40% to everyone there will always be a status of people who feel they've "paid enough" always existed under all parliaments though the one thing to denote is the UK tax gap has shrunk under the torys to 6.5% as opposed to 8.3% under labour last time which only shows the Torys and HMRC effectively tackling this issue. Missing tax per year is roughly 36 billion and EU costs shy of 14 billion yet you quibble 1 billion going to DUP?

Vote for Jeremy? Do me a favour. He'd probably promise it, lose an election and then deny proposing it.

"Played a blinder ...... obviously taken good advice somewhere"

With respect it sounds to me as though you approve of multi millionaires doing everything they can to avoid tax while ensuring their millions are signed over to a spouse who can't be touched.

More like morally bankrupt. 

I do indeed approve. It appears perfectly legal.

Owns a fleet of properties in Dubai under a FZE company. Properties and a hotel near Lanarkshire in a company name. Mrs is said to own 40 properties and prestige cars in her name. 

Barry on paper appears not to own anything. EBT s being chased by HMRC against ex players but this 1.4 million is allegedly a personal tax bill. Better to sink your self in a bankruptcy personally and being nailed for five years tops than sell anything. As he now owns nothing he has no asset value to go against his liability values and as such technically is bankrupt.

Played a blinder if you ask me, obviously taken good advice somewhere as the EBT has been looming a few years and he was paid 2.5 million through that so you can imagine the tax on that alone!

Re the Boro story they said it wasn't about the Assombolonga transfer fee quoted by the Gazette which was a whole £1m out (£15m not £14m). There must be some serious beef if it's getting that petty.

Maybe they need Cheston to proof read? "Please take out"

Judan Ali was at the club initially. Players somewhat liked him as Scott Dann held the pool champions with.

Supposed to come to the club as assistant to Gary Neville but Balaji Film  Production got liquidated

Not really fair to compare Mulgrew to Marshall/Duffy at this stage.

In the cases of Marshall and Duffy the club was actively trying to sell them to cash in on them. Lies about Marshall being offered a new contract or if he was it was deliberately too low so that he was never going to accept it. Propaganda to make people think it was all Marshall's fault for wanting away and the club had no option but to sell him, when really it was as much the club playing games and trying to encourage people to come and bid for him, not to mention showing zero ambition, that pushed him away.

It remains to be seen what the case will be with Mulgrew. We certainly wont be able to command a fee on Duffy/Marshall levels. Will they start playing games through the Telegraph to try and get clubs to bid for the players or will they actually try and keep hold of them?

I know which I expect to happen.

400 k was still not a good deal given we had to watch nyambe at full back for six months

Incase Chaddy was wrong his formation is slightly more adventurous and would require further signings to play those roles!!.

This summer he talk about playing attacking passing style. So I expect him to revert back to his WBA formation of 4-2-3-1 now.

I'd hate to see him line up 451 or 4411 at southend and you be wrong fella.

I didn't know that !  Seems even the great have their bad moments

No I like that, no matter how bad it gets as a Rover, the great man himself helped them. The Venkys can't take away that sort of history, neither can the dingles. 

Just now, tomphil said:

Crack me up these Dingles with all this sugar daddy stuff ignoring their own albeit less spectacular investors that have been funding them since Ternant was there. When Jack first took over he injected a million or so to get Mimms, Dobson & Livingstone straight in to help the fight against relegation. These @#/?s won't even do that despite selling enough to cover a years running costs.

When Kilby & Ingleby stepped in at Bonleh they gave Ternant 750k to sign one player in Steve Davis which was more than the 75k or so Stan had spent previously in his whole time there.

Is that not a bit of sugar daddy stuff right there ?

Let's not forget back in the third and struggling jack also paid the wages of Burnley for a month or two, funny how many they forget and sing about him isn't it.

Just now, tomphil said:

That was loans put in from when Jack was alive and it covered a whole host of stuff, possibly the academy & training ground.

25 million at least was the ground - no similar to the Venkys share capital not debt. Used for facilities and land acquisition
