Shearer leads the list of those who wanted A.N.Other to start over Bellingham though which is quite funny. |

my favorite bit was Matterface suggesting Bellingham should be subbed at about 80 minutes |

Possibly a few good days for long term football:
- Cr7 dispatched on Zimmer frame
- Tika taka remnants proved boring as F
-FIFA will be very weak immediately after the tournament and would be surprised if breakaway talks not happening in private. Infantino found to be morally repugnant by ..er...Sepp Blatter
- Yanks tanked |

I think that is right.
I saw a clip of Glenn Hoddle being interviewed the other day and basically someone had asked him why the English football team internationally had regressed after winning the World Cup in 1966. He said basically the coaching in England was terrible for a long period and as we all know there was a culture of distrusting talented players (Stan Rodney etc).
Not an accident perhaps that as a club we have had our most successful periods with highly innovative coaches.
I wonder if countries like South Africa basically lack the coaching infrastructure despite the huge public involvement. |

On a lighter note this could be very bad news indeed for North Battersea as limitation periods only apply from the point the loser became aware - i.e. the yank takeover declaration and fine. |

Very important in my view that people in all walks of life are held to the truth. Cifuentes is no fool and knows what is and isn't actionable.
After all Southampton's post truth experiment seems to be not going that well. |

Unless they systematically assisted them and he has evidence they did it in other games. if that came out in an employment dispute they would be in deep do do. Better to let the FA do it for you.
I know a few saints fans and they wanted this ownership gone anyway before all this. Not going to be a happy ship. |

'so you say that you did not know that spying was a problem, can you explain to me why you legged it when challenged into the nearby golf club toilets, attempted to change your appearance and delete information from your phone?' |

Interesting thread and events.
I hope that the club and those lone rangers who take the company line understand that framing criticism as harm can be seen as an attempt to suppress free comment and a confident and open organisation would be actively seeking different opinions to test where it stands.
Accepting a critical friend is more important for avoiding mistakes than looking to control the narrative. Controlling the narrative just looks very weak and insecure and plays into ideas that the CEO lacks the experience to carry the great weight of running a football club which is never an easy task anyway.
Owning where we are - 15th - is an important part of fixing it. Accepting that the injuries and the pitch issues were unacceptable- helps to do something about them in the future.
Any clumsy attempt to shut down the above will backfire and those doing it will in the end look very foolish.
We lived through Paladini. |

Just a tiny bit excited they could do a Leicester over the next couple of years looking ant the underlying finances but they will probably sell the canteen to the kitchen for 500million or something and get out of it. |

It is something of a perfect storm for development in London.
Taller blocks of flats have become extremely expensive to build and the new build flat sales market has almost completely collapsed post Grenfell. The building safety act introduced as a response to Grenfell has made it very tricky indeed to negotiate planning and construction with regard to any new builds other than low-density developments. The ones that are proceeding are probably housing association joint-ventures for social housing.
In addition developments like Battersea power station were funded by selling off plan with sizeable deposits to buyers for example typically in the Far East. That money could then be used to fund the building works at least in part. That came to an end with Brexit.
Overseas buyers using London for safe haven status have pretty much disappeared as a result of changes to non-dom tax status and tightening of immigration status.
I suspect 100m is indeed an ambitious figure for that site now. |
