    Technically we do (ish).... TTA's £6m or so that they have given the club don't have payment terms attached and so they have done similar.
  2. jimsleftfoot
    As above, the owner can give the money to the club as long as no terms for repayment.

    Think of a local authority which owns lots of buildings and hence has a lot of work that needs to be carried out on them, maintaining, cleaning, compliance issues etc. From my reading this appears to be a system which deals with this. A bit of a mix of procurement System, workflow monitoring and a database all in one.

    Whilst Oldham is still struggling to build an M&S, Ashton got rid of the old one and built an even better one. And strangely a Five Guys has opened, third in the North, there isn't even one in Manchester City Centre.

    If someone was threatening you with a meat cleaver (e.g. an armed robber) and you smashed their head in with a vase, their perhaps would be a decent argument that you would be using reasonable force.

    What about a boxing or UFC match?

    If someone smashes someone's head in and doesn't know what they are doing, would they be any less at fault?

    To the average person, the Bury video looks like the OAFC fans being aggressive. The Bradford (home match) stone throwing incident speaks for itself and the MEN have already made the most of the Rochdale away game. I don't think any are that significant but Oldham is losing the PR battle here. Police are facing cuts, they've spotted a way of raising money, they have the MEN behind them, doesn't take a genius.

    Best way to get the middle class vote is to attack them then???? I voted Labour but I cannot see how middle class Southerners (and from the like of Stockport) didn't vote Labour because it wasn't working class enough. They did it because they feared Labour of the recent past and they feared that Labour wasn't good for the economy. They protected themselves. They won't make the jump to Corbyn, they will go elsewhere and suddenly, the Lib Dems are a player again.

    Most contracted players seem to be about who pays them the most over a 1 or 2 year contract and they are quick to run.

    Fair enough. Are legal matters on-field?
  12. jimsleftfoot
    Yup - I should add that I was only talking about the £3 voters in the last para for clarity. The message it sends to me is that the vocal minority have backed him.
  13. jimsleftfoot
    Yes, without the £3 vote he got 51/52% (so not as good as Tony Blair after all), so he would have won anyway in the first round, though it could have turned out slightly different perhaps if it had been closer. Also, despite his wave of so called popular support, only 105,000 people voted (of which he got 84%) which is hardly going to swing an election. I like his charisma, I like some of his principles, but there are a lot of middle class people who will be afraid of him ultimately.

    One that would try and negotiate for the assets and the club. Whatever is now doesn't actually matter, it would be the negotiations going forward.
  15. jimsleftfoot
    Unless someone comes out and says they have bid for the club and have been turned down/or has said the deal is crap, how would we know what the deal would be?

    In today's MEN, a billionaire returns home from Switzerland where he is resident, to Failsworth. Maybe this is the one!!!
  17. jimsleftfoot
    Yup, the club has (or had at least) limited debts which has been the point all along. The only real debt is to the owners, though not treated as a repayable loan and so admin wouldn't have any effect. The club has the lease on the Stadium, but the land is owned by Brassbank so again unaffected.
  18. jimsleftfoot
    Good point, they just got rid of having to get a CVA if I remember rightly? I agree, how does he know whats going on? Until you know that, he could have been just told by a mate who 'knows whats going on' (in his opinion) and then span it for the sake of trying to get a better deal out of the OP.
  19. jimsleftfoot
    Few questions: Who told him? If the club is to be well backed, why the need for admin? Could he have heard this from someone who just made it up? Did he get a deal out of you?
  20. jimsleftfoot
    or expats?
  21. jimsleftfoot
    It seems that Tesco agree with you and have started giving 100% of their tips to staff. I often think that Union's have the wrong priorities but they are simply helping a work force sector which isn't particularly well represented by Unions traditionally and so I have to applaud them ultimately.
  22. jimsleftfoot
    Lower end cooking staff are often minimum wage.
  23. jimsleftfoot
    There might be a few exceptions but from my own experience of working in catering, it's a team game. If someone cooks a great pizza and the waitress takes it over to the customer, is it only the waitress who is giving good customer service?
  24. jimsleftfoot
    In the current state of the economy, it will be easier for Pizza Express to hire good/enthusiastic staff than ten, years ago regardless of them nicking their tips.

    The way he took both goals was mightly impressive. He hit the post from 25 yards as well.
