"If I knew what "rhetorical" meant I could answer that question couldn't I?"
As you may have noticed I didn't put a question mark at the end of the sentence therefore didn't mean it as a question.
More a statement that looked like a question?
It actually shows how little clout the newco has. Once upon a time NO home game at Ibrokes was shown live. That, of course, was when Rangers played there.
Is that our new marquee signings Dan Potts, Brian Kettle and Ian Black?
Now Kettle might be long in the tooth and young Dan plays at a pretty low level but, come on, IAN Feckin' Black? He hasn't played for a decent team in years!
If it is as stated that the sole reason for Houston not paying a fee is due to the MLS basically not wanting to then surely Saints should have recourse through FIFA as the compensation is a FIFA rule and the US are members of FIFA?
My thinking too. div.
Poz's example is the opposite from Saints' situation. Saints are benefitting financially from the deal no matter how disgruntled we as a support are. Look at last years fiasco. More stock left than sold no doubt but it made no difference to the buddies' coffers. More reason for a JD pull out than a Saints' one. The only reason for the BoD's pulling the plug would be to appease the supporters and when was the last time they worried about us?
Reported for starting threads for the sake of starting threads and in the wrong section!
I honestly hope you get fun out of trying to outdo every other forumster in threadstarting.
Samson's late save from Stevenson in the cup final. Not the greatest but certainly one of the most important. Come to think of it Vanzi's last ditch saves near the end as well.
The reason given, and there is logic to it, is to protect the lads from early burn out due to physical exhaustion as the club are investing in the kids by training them. I can see it from the clubs' point of view as it could fall to them if one of the kids were to be injured simply from overworking.
The IMF are talking about writing off debt.
This may be a bit simplistic but wouldn't it be a better option to freeze some of it rather than losing it altogether?
It might take decades to begin recouping but that would be fairer to the rest of the European countries who actually put in place a reasonable setup to tax their citizens and fund their own democracies.
Greece, as a country, has basically been living beyond it's means and should not be allowed to renege on its responsibilities. But by no means open the flood gates for Portugal and others to think they have an easy way out.
