My Cousin lives in NZ, originally from London. She loves life over there. She’s been there about 12 years, says it’s like the UK was 30 years ago.
An agent I know thinks 2 other clubs are in for him, one being Sunderland. That's based on what the CEO of another club told him. Something isn't sitting right, hopefully we got in there first but may have had to pay over the odds. Kids like him don't just have one club after them.
There are loads of really nice places on the outskirts, often right next door to some of the less affluent areas. I'm not sure this is much different to any other City around the planet.
Took the family to London in January - first time visit for the kids. Stayed in Greenwich which is a wonderful place. However, literally within an hour of arriving on a walk near Isle of dogs towards Canary Wharf a cyclist banged into me coming around a blind bend in a park (not a cycle lane!). He jumped of his bike with his fists clenched wanting to fight! Had to calm the tosser down. Then had to explain to the kids London is not quite as genteel as North Ferriby!
So who is there to keep watch and let everyone know?Don't forget, he won't be just signing today, he'll be having his medical also, so don't expect an early announcement.............if he's coming.
Manchester is an amazing City, like Hull it has rough areas but the centre is well laid out and has some great venues. Unlike Hull.
One was Fulham supposedly nothing public though and that was mentioned to me a while back
Playing 'annoy the cyclist' is easiest in London as there are so many of the entitled bell ends everywhere.
It's a long way away, from anything. Was talking to some folk on hols, been there (from UK) 30-odd years. They liked it well enough, didn't regret moving there, but they said they did feel a long way from the rest of the world. They felt it most at holiday times when if they wanted to go somewhere with history, culture, art, buildings, etc it really just left Europe, so it's a major trip and it costs lots of money. Also if big stuff was happening in US/Europe, elections, trouble, national strikes, whatever, they felt it didn't get that much coverage in NZ as they weren't directly affected so they felt a little less informed.
