Apparently there was a suggestion in the athletic over the weekend that there may be a potential sticking point over the Allams refusal to accept cash installments.

I wouldnt have thought they'd have paid a deposit yet if the deal is still at that stage and the structure of the deal is yet to be agreed.

Heard owt?

As far as I'm aware that was a sticking point at the beginning but is all sorted now

It's supposed to be quite good from what I've heard. They did a really long opinion piece quite a while ago on the Allams and City. I just can't be arsed paying for articles on websites. Same when I go to read an article in the Telegraph and it's behind a pay-wall.

I’ve just joined the guardian felt guilty when they kept telling me all the free articles I’ve read. 9 quid a month I was paying more than that for a month of daily mirrors 20 odd years ago

Guardian's way is similar to Wikipedia's. Wikipedia is open-source and free to use but they do encourage you to donate to keep the site running.

I make a point of buying the physical observer. And fleece the online content midweek.
Bloody handy stuff is newspaper. And it's nice to read something that's not back-lit on a lazy Sunday with me feet up.

I hate being drawn into monthly payments. In the case of Wiki and Guardian I just bung them 20 or 30 quid now and again. I've no idea if I'm over or under paying!
 
Well with my subscriptions to the Telegraph and Spectator.........just bringing a little balance ;-)

I actually have a useful hack to read paywall articles. When you go to it and the paywall window comes up, simply insert a full stop after the .com or .co.uk in the address bar and hit enter. Voila the wall disappears for that article.

It's always interesting how much hesitancy to pay for news articles because people used to get them online for free, but 15 years ago everyone was happy to pay for the paper each week which would have probably been more expensive.

I feel a bit left out here, so I'll come clean. I have an annual subscription with Viz which suits my educational needs. Their journalists appear well informed, so I'm confident most of what I read is accurate, unlike the tosh you get in mainstream newspapers.

Does Viz still have the biffas? some comedy gold there what with the Newcastle take over.
 
Actually that would make a comical story in Viz.... '****wit Football Manager'.... the trials and tribs of a team managed by a ****wit...
