There was aPanorama expose on the Beeb maybe. month ago... One lady form Cheshire was going 3 weeks without mail and during this time she missed one (might have been two) critical appointments for her scvhildren one with an operation she is now queueing for. The woman who did the programme sent letters with tracking devices in.. some took 3 days and some 3 weeks... they are NOT prioritising mail but parcels,,,
No one seems to give a toss whatever the job. I had a hospital visit in early January, on the 24th they sent a letter telling me things weren't stable (leave it Rover) and they needed to see me in a months time. Three phone calls from me later, twice fobbed off with 'new appointment system' guff, and I've just had an appointment confirmed for the middle of April, frig knows when it would have been if I hadn't phoned them.
Leicester are on the front foot on this. Legal action against the premier league and EFL. Can't wait to see their sanction.
The are screwed either way if they don’t win. Don’t go up this season and a points deduction will make it difficult to go up next season. Go up and a points deduction will make it difficult to stay up.
but if they go up they get the c150mil + parachute payments, that’s hardly a deterrent / punishment is it
But they didn’t anticipate going down. So a deterrent to not getting promoted is not the issue. It brings about the interesting point which is the league they should suffer points deductions on, the FA Premier League they committed the offences in or the EFL they are in now? If you have a few minutes this article discusses some of the disparities and a few other salient points. https://www.independent.co.uk/sport...eague-charges-ffp-psr-transfers-b2517565.html
Greg Dyke did a lot of things, Chairman of the BBC ( despite being a large donor to the Labour Party) , other high positions in various broadcasting companies, director of Man Utd and Brentford and later chairman of the FA but that was long after the formation of the PL. He played a part but only as a negotiator for TV contracts.. Wikipedia is not always 100% but the link saves typing out a load of stuff. Amusing to think at the final meeting about broadcasting two of the big 5 were Everton and Tottenham. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Premier_League
The Newcastle United co-owner Amanda Staveley faces having to pay a Greek shipping magnate more than £3m after a high court legal battle. Staveley had been issued with a statutory demand by businessman Victor Restis, who claimed she was liable to pay him £3.4m owed from an investment he made in her business ventures. The businesswoman had applied to the high court to throw out Restis’ application, with her lawyers telling a hearing earlier in March that she had “substantial ground for denying liability” and the dispute should be settled in arbitration. In a judgment on Monday, the deputy insolvency and companies court judge, Judge Daniel Schaffer, dismissed her bid, ruling the dispute should be dealt with in court and that Staveley was liable to pay the sum. Reading out his judgment at London’s Rolls Building, he said: “The demand totalling £3.4m is sound.” Restis has until 22 April to issue a bankruptcy petition after the decision, unless Staveley pays the money owed before that date.
