Oh. This again. Every 3-6 months this kind of shite gets resurfaced. Normally when we’re doing reasonably ok too.

Oh good, here’s the cartels very own Ziegler

Lloyds bank is taking the ground floor unit, which is going to free up their building on Grey Street to The Ivy.

Some section of it is becoming another location from the people who have Lane7. The very top unit is set to become a restaurant.

I see. What's the Ivy?

Quote

Baroness Twycross, a digital, culture, media and sport minister who is overseeing the passage of the Football Governance Bill, told fellow peer Lord Moynihan that anyone who has a high degree of influence over a club would have to pass the independent football regulator’s test — and that would include Bin Salman.

 

However, it is understood Twycross then left the chamber and later passed a handwritten note to Moynihan saying she may have to clarify that position.

 

So they've already started backtracking on it

Lots of twisting of what she said.

She actually said that there wouldn’t be any unnecessary revaluation of existing owners, and heavily indicated that everything would be more focussed on new owners. She also said that the government are not looking to outright ban anyone from owning club (I.E. state ownership) and there is no indication that the regulator would deviate from both the Premier Leagues, or EFL’s directors and owners test.

She basically said that the government is open for business, in fact they even discussed the possibility of other states and Middle Eastern states buying clubs in the future, with name checks for Qatar, and Kuwait.

Exactly, I’m sure Starmer who’s just been begging him for trade will put her straight, not sure what’s worse to be honest corrupt fuckers at the PL, or incompetent, hypocritical politicians making the rules.

Nothing needed to do to keep her straight.

She was answering in a way to tell the Lords ‘Yeah, I hear you, but you’re going too far, and this isn’t what the government wants’.

I trust stiffy on this. He sat through the whole hearing and the parts I saw did mirror what he's saying. 

 

Just another twist in the papers to try and unsettle us.

WTF

It is believed to be a financial processing issue at ownership level — rather than cash flow or a bigger complication — and has not impacted regular wages.

 

It’s not even a story if that’s the case, happens all the time

Whether you like them or not they are part of the football landscape and clubs have contractual obligations to them.

Great sentiment until they unsettle their clients.

 

No excuses for not paying the bills.  We agreed to pay; we should pay

😂 They kind of represent our players.

Its a matter of professionalism, even if you hate agents.

No agree with that. Just not sure it’s “lazy” or “inept”. Unless you’re talking about our account department. Sadly.

TBF nobody knows the terms of these contracts, it might just be CEO accountancy, the guy who I work for always waits until the last second to pay any creditors, even the milkman and window cleaner.

He even admits that it’s normal practice to be paid late, and most if not all agents have been paid.

 

He’s just there with Ben Jacobs, and Migual Delany at throwing negatives about us.

[macphisto]

Probably more to do with delays on PIF's side. I could see us having a limit on payments that need approval from Saudi Arabia.

It would be difficult for him not to put out this article, presuming the agents that are moaning are also the same agents that feed him exclusives on transfers.
