What is the legal position on Cisse anyway? If the season starts and he won't wear the shirt does he still get paid? I would have thought he's in breach of his contract, or pretty close to it. Obviously we'll be trying to sell him, but there's a good chance he'll still be here IMO, especially if we fail to land our targets.

"Islam isn't about picking and choosing."

 

Grow your beard then, you fucking cunt.

 

:lol: Is that genuinely part of the Muslim handbook?

 

Growing a beard in Islam is compulsory, yes.

 

No it isn't :lol: you get Hassanat (good points) for it as the prophet (pbuh) is said to have had one. It's by no means compulsory.

 

"Grow your beards and trim your moustaches." Mo.

i can never work out this 4000%?

 

so if a person had say,,£1000 loan and the interest is 4000% then they owe at end of term £?

 

100% is another £1000 on top of original yeah! someone help me here i just dont understand 4000%?

HOTRodders

I have it! EUREEKA!

 

a £1000 loan at 4000% interest is toatalled to £41,000 at end of term!

HOTRodders

so,

£1000 at 100%= £1000

and there is TEN 100`s to a 1000 ok so far!

so we have now the £1000 interest at 100% times TEN to get 1000% which equals £10,000, then we times that by 4 to get the 4000% which comes to £40,000 plus the original loan of £1000 so grand total is £41,000!

 

joke or what? 41 grand payback for a grand loan! ha haaaaa

Has anything been mentioned about the club trying to negotiate with Wonga? say look, one player won't wear it for religious reasons, can we amend the deal slightly? maybe even take a small reduction in the revenue for one player less in the squad for not wearing it?

 

I don't know if Wonga would kick off and say no way, or perhaps giving in to Cisse's request would be advocating his position, but you do wonder if the club has tried to fix it for Cisse.

The club's emphasis is on a strong partnership with Wonga. Ashley won't back down over this issue unless Wonga tries to gain some publicity again. If that was a possible option by Wonga, they would have done it already instead of having their name continually dragged through the media.

 

Can't see Cisse ending well on this. He'll either back down or be sold.

Has some points but remember barclays sponsor the league...massive drinking culture, replica shirts made by poor people in rotten conditions with no t&cs...

 

Its a little lame to pick wonga out or single wonga out of a massve haystack of money wankers on the make out of football.

 

I wont give cisse shit...ill support him as a player, i like him as a player but his moral compass is being selective.

No, it isn't.  Wonga aren't getting this shit because someone's spun a roulette wheel and picked a company at random out of hundreds of equally bad companies to have a go at for no reason.  If the owners of Wonga ran this operation in France or Germany they'd be thrown in jail as criminals.  When you're sponsored by a company like that, it's can't really be a surprise that it attracts negative attention and causes problems and risks.  Not least the risk that they'll be legislated out of existence.

 

Are there any companies people wouldn't accept us being sponsored by?  Is there any business practice where you can't just wave it away by saying 'Oh, other companies do bad things, therefore all companies are equally as bad'?  Hey, let's be sponsored by heroin.  I mean, people make the decision themselves to buy it, it's not the dealers fault.  And some guys at Barclay's did something about Libor, I saw it on the news.

 

The main thing I take out of this is that sponsorship works.  I can't remember anyone on here, ever, saying anything positive about Wonga before this deal.  Now about 60% of the board will stand up for them against anything and everything, including our own players.  Now as soon as anything shady is brought up, the reaction is to immediately deflect it by pointing the finger elsewhere.

You cant get put in jail for running a business that doesn't break the law.

 

The problem is with the law, it's down to the lawmakers to change that now.

There has been an enormous amount of adverse commentary in the press and parliament of the business practices of Wonga.com (Report, 2 March) and the dozens of similar "payday loan" companies. It has been argued that these companies are doing nothing illegal – but that is only because there are at present few, if any laws, restricting their activities in UK. Their practices would not be allowed in most other European countries, or in most of the US.

 

http://www.leftfootforward.org/2012/11/payday-loans-crisis/

To consumers in the UK this is compelling stuff, but to our neighbours in Europe this seems very trivial. As it has been noted before by ‘End the Legal Loan Sharking’ campaigners, Britain is one of the only countries in Europe which does not have a cap on lending rates.

 

In countries such as France and Germany – which along with the UK have the largest national consumer credit markets in the EU - rates are capped at anywhere from 15 per cent to 200 per cent.
