Ever heard the phrase 'Sow the wind and reap the whirlwind'?

Fifty years ago an atheist used to get on a soap box outside Manchester Cathedral on Sunday evenings and draw decent crowds. He was VERY entertaining. I saw him more than once.

Yes, the school theory makes sense. They rent for 6 months, get Tristram into the school they want and then hand the keys back.

I don't think there's anything dodgy about We Buy Any House. You get your cash quick but you pay a hefty price for it. The choice is yours.

And the dog on the bonnet

I hardly ever agree with your posts but that's a damn good reply.

Clay seems to hold sway on this thread.

It's a long time since it was the Crown. It's last incarnation was R & B's Uptown Bar and that was quite a while ago. R & B were, and I hope still are, Ruth and Barry Roper-Tye. I didn't know Barry but Ruth was a bit of a character and had a racehorse at one time.

Oh no, he wasn't in the 15 man squad that flew to Turkey was he?

That will depend on how good our accountants are (not very, or we wouldn't be in the brown stuff) or how good Brucie is at wheeling and dealing (not known for it) or perhaps DC might try the litigation route (can't see that paying dividends, but it wouldn't put Mr McSue off). Chances are we'll just have to sit it out for a season or two and Bruce has been appointed to keep us in the championship for the duration with nowt to spend. I think championship clubs are allowed an average of £13m of losses per season over any three season period and we're very close to it. It could take another two seasons after this one before DC can spend again. We only have seven decent class players. Two have long term injuries, one has yet to prove he isn't past it after a long time out, one will only ever give you 15-20 games a season and is a card collector, one is also injury prone, has a very suspect temperament, and has questionable loyalty. None of these are saleable because no other club would match their wages, given their individual problems. That leaves Bannan and Reach as our only saleable assets. Joao might attract an offer on the strength of his potential but he needs to bring consistency to his game which only the very best young players can do and he's getting to the stage where he can no longer be classed as a young player. So it's over to you Brucie, earn your corn.

I think he must see Bruce as a top manager who is paid to manage whatever the situation he inherits. Can't see him being paid £2m a year as speculated but it must be enough to compensate for not having money to spend for the time being.

It must mean 13 shoplifters live on the street, not 13 offences committed on the street. Anti-social behaviour is usually done in their own backyard and the perjury/forgery is hardly going to be a targeted attack on the street. The length of the street will determine whether it's fair or not.

A brave lad. Staying on the pitch cost him dearly. He was also robbed of an England cap by injury when he was picked for the eleven.
