    I agree with this
    I still don't think he'd play nice if there was a sniff that a suggestion had come from a fan group, but there are hopeful signs I think
    I'm not sure you'd be able to know who to target at the moment though. Best wait for a new owner, or see which way Ehab turns next

    FFS, just go back to the first post, the one I quoted and was referred to throughout, it really isn't hard.

    Just been catching up on this thread. Can't find it now but someone (Obi?) mentioned about us contacting the PL about the concessions issue.

    I'm pretty certain the PL have never said anything public about it other than the holding statements in the summer about discussing it with the club.

    All the trusts met with Richard Scudamore, PL boss, several months ago and he didn't really give a clear update on it. I think they were worried that challenging the Allams on the rule would lead to a legal battle which they didn't fancy, and they knew their rule was poorly worded. Not sure how soon that rule can be tightened up or what the process is to do it, but that's something we really need to pursue. That update was the last the PL have said on the issue.

    It's my regret that we haven't done more on this front since the summer and I think we should push it properly again now. I think the PL have had a bit of an easy ride on it and are just crossing their fingers that we get relegated and it becomes someone else's problem.

    You don't need to specifically target anyone, that's the whole point. You put a magnanimous gesture out there, you let it float and you see if you get a bite. No one bites, nothing lost, but integrity intact.

    If I'd known that I'd have joined. Good laugh Slimming World. Shagsters heaven.

    Semi chubs low on self esteem made happy by a simple "Wow!! 3lbs off & your two stone award, how fit do you look?"

    Three different "at targets" have said it to me in the last 5 weeks, flirty bitches.

    I think the rules are reviewed & agreed each season after the play off final when the promoted teams are offered their share of ownership in the PL.

    Ok
    I thought you'd said you'd finished though, make your mind up
    Here the script. Don't forget to play me as a Glaswegian

    Fez - The Tango is a wonderful dance, but it takes two ...... if one is magnanimous, then the other might follow.

    Dennis - Sorry, but while I admire your optimism I genuinely can't believe Ehab being magnanimous Certainly not to a bunch of hooligans

    Fez - He doesn't have to be, he simply has to follow a skillful lead; he'll look just as good and we let him. What's to lose?

    Dennis - Dignity? Who would this 'skilful lead' be?

    Fez - It has to be the Trust; is there another body big enough? You piss with the dick you've ģot, comes to mind.

    Dennis - In that case it's pointless Not a chance he'll even speak to the Trust never mind anything else

    Fez - He doesn't have to, it's those (mostly new) folk around him, or those who takecove. It's just plain daft not to future plan.

    (later in Act 1)

    Fez - Was it Ehab I was referring to, in regards to being magnanimous?

    Answer - YES....it was!

    Don't disagree, apart from I don't think any bite will amount to anything while he's still here
    What gesture do you suggest?

    Actually it wasn't. I made it plain I didn't expect him to be - you've re-quoted it:

    You do know how to follow a conversation, don't you, Jimmy?

    Are we genuinely beginning to trust the Allams?

    If so, I'm off.

    No...go on
    You've suggested a magnanimous gesture from the Trust

    What do you think it should be?

    What should we do Fez? Personally I'd put Jak in goal.

    And then I'd kill Ehab.

    Seems a bit harsh
    You wouldn't have to actually put him there, just tell him he's picked, he'll find the goal
