Didn't want to sound too harsh. We had to overpay him to get him here in the first place and now he wants a big final pay day in Saudi, good luck to him but I don't think we will miss him.
Football is definetely less regulated. At least WADA do not show up at your door at 4 AM, if it is not changed only 2 random players give a sample after a game.
Like cough -Sociedad, Barca and R.Madrid- cough did and get away with it in Operación Puerto doping case.
I lost my closest friend when I was a kid to Leukemia, always love this kind of awareness stuff. Since it is effecting mostly kids, it is more and more important. Kudos.
I thought we usually looked better when we played, but this is a different style now, apparently, so I assume TW is OK with him leaving. Doesn’t come across as a sulker though if we had decided to keep him. We may find we regret the decision later, but good luck to him
I get what people are saying. There comes a point though when you need to stop getting rid of every player the previous manager had. It's odd to me. I can't help it feeling odd to me. Dismantling the spine of a squad in one summer is strange.
I agree with the above. Ghost Ship 0.5 is decent from Adnams. Their Smidgin Dry Gin is the best spirit (it’s not AF but you only need 3ml to 200ml of tonic - so a pipette is handy). Northern Monk AF beers are good too.
