Mrs S says thanks for the birthday wishes,she had nice relaxing day after we cleared the debris from the previous nights dinner party.

Forgot to say I made her a birthday cake, choc of course, hardly ever bake but have say it was top drawer.

Andy's place was loverly. We dined in the lounge which serves bar type menu, Mrs S had fish n chips and moi burgers! Was also served by a delightful young local lass, but sadly not man handled.

Welcome ScullyOTW, loverly folk on here but Sth can be a bit annoying, especially at the moment.
 
Morning all from wet and chilly Bandit Country. Lazy day today, but we are going for a walk along the canal after dropping the pa-in-law back home. We need to start exercising again now that the dissertation is done and all the science exams finished - so EEG are starting a walking regime to get that started.
 
Morning all from a dry (for now) Jersey. As I was on my way to the shop earlier, I heard this line from a conversation by 2 cyclists: "it was worse than the ****ing QPR match". I would love to know what the comparison was to - maybe England's dismal display at Durham.

Many thanks for the welcome guys (and girls), this forum is soooo different from some of the others that are extremely aggressive.

Good to have you here - we tend to fill in during the close season with all sorts of rubbish - not necessarily football related but quite interesting for some of us - then back to real things in August

I'm going to spend the summer trying to understand the workings of FFP - at the moment all I know is that it certainly doesn't mean Fit For Purpose! Have to love football governing bodies - they cobble togther rules to react to a situation without ever considering the unintended consequences.

I don't think the basic rules are that complicated - mostly just a limit on the amount of losses you make based on your accounts. The amounts differ depending how high you are up the pyramid. There is also a wages limit per club in the Premiership - but that does get complicated as it is based on your previous spend - not an absolute amount - so the rules do not create an even playing field.

The real issue is that accounts can hide a multitude of sins.

As you say it smacks of authorities putting in place somethng - anything - to make it look like they are doing something but in fact they have not looked into it fully
 
Evening all
Horrible wet day here so Mrs H and I have been making lots of home made ravioli. Most is now in the freezer but we'll have some spinach and ricotta with a bottle of Orvieto. Just preparing ourselves with olives and a glass of pastis.

Are image rights included in wages?

From a club perspective wages will be what they are declared to be in the accounts. All they have to do is persuade their auditors that they are true and fair - so no room for manouevre there eh?
