There was a Singapore based publicity bullshit bid on one of the previous sale cycles as well - don't know if it was the same people.

According to Independent Sage, local authority track and trace contacted 98% of contacts against 53% by Serco under this "success" of a boss - hence the "average" of 70-75%. Crony privatisation trumps public common sense even when lives are at stake.

Threw contractors and newly self-employed under a bus. Also essential small businesses like the vet my lass works for doesn't get any nice reward for furloughing staff as others will as he didn't need to which seems unfair.

I spent a week 14 years ago at my Mam's bedside waiting for her to die and I've been a supporter of euthanasia since. Me and my sister made a pact that if one of us is ever in the same situation the other will digitas it.

Brexit.....?

I'd ask him if the result of the independent arbitration would have had to be signed off by Man Utd and Liverpool like his appointment.

Hasn't he actually used the "you'd be amazed if you knew who my backers are" line?

I liked the comment about Williamson saying that inflated grades would mean people being promoted above their level of competence would make Alanis Morrisette's head explode.

Went for a swim earlier this morning - gym has sorted it quite well with a booking system to limit numbers. Absolute heaven to get back in the water for the first time since the end of February. Don't fancy the gym yet but a whiff of normality.

Or the fact that they spent millions, appointed a good manager and still only finished a couple of points above an abysmally shit team like us.

I agree but you'd think they'd consider doing some polling to see if there'd be a net gain by choosing Warren.

Thing is even if the masks were fine it still stinks but their usefulness seems to be the story. Basically they gave their mate the contact details of a Chinese factory and then gave him 150m for an order that would actually cost 120m - just to cream off money to a mate.

Flixborough was good - late 70s off the top of my head.

I wonder if the Reubens could increase their stake to 41% meaning PIF were to be minority shareholders - a bit simplistic but I'm sure they could work out the money later - I'm sure other corporate deals have convenient structures.

Slight issue with the analogy as we can't be bought or owned by both parties simultaneously.

The fact that the PL refused to give a time scale which was the final straw is deliberate cowardice.

I've seen rationalisations where theres a christ on every planet in their own form - just as batshit as anything else.

I still don't see how they bought those rights with the assumption they could sell packages in ksa without the Saudi's say so and without their right to ban them which they've now seemingly done. Surely that's up to the Saudis as there's no EU type cross country organisation.

If that's correct and they don't like the "structure" that suggests to me they don't like the prospect of a large influx of money and I reckon as I said before it's pressure from the "big" clubs.

I can't see people who were desperate to get on the first plane out being willing to self-isolate.

I watched a good documentary about him on Sky Arts a few years ago and after showing how fucked he was by acid it was good to see a reasonably happy old man at the end who could still play guitar like a good'un. RIP.

I've fixed a dripping tap if that helps.

I read something early on which suggested other clubs has objected - presumably the "rich" ones like Man City, Man Utd, Chelsea and Liverpool who don't like the idea of a bigger sugar daddies than theirs being allowed in. It wouldn't surprise me at all if this was a factor given the influence of these clubs in the past.

All the best Ant

They also laid out his blatant lies regarding its publication.
