    Hang on a minute... (rose tinted post alert)

    Look, rule 1 in business is always try and use someone else's money rather than your own. By deferring the tax bill, especially as HMRC charge interest on unpaid tax currently at 0% (or very close to it) it becomes a very cheap loan. I genuinely believe that RM was hoping to defer and defer...

    Question People who should have died during child birth???

    When you think of individuals throughout history who have been responsible for total and utter atrocities, we think of characters like Adolf Hitler, Kim Jong II, Osama bin Laden, President Mugabe,............but does anyone ever mention the name Thomas Midgley?? Good old Thomas who was an...

    Why are transfers so hard to conclude in the modern era and where does it leave us?

    As it's all doom and gloom around here (perhaps a little unsurprisingly) I thought a topic to discuss in the meantime might be in order. So I thought we could discuss WHY transfers are so hard to conclude nowadays. Here's my lot: For a start, I think it's due to escalated prices. The top teams...

    Pistol-Whip The Cheats

    Nothing irritates me more than diving. Seriously, it's right up there above noisy eating, people who play tinny R'n'B through their cellphones on the bus and that invisible scratch on my West Wing DVD that smashes straight through the important bit ten minutes into every episode when you're...

    Spot the difference

    Southend United football club is pleased to announce that the High Court Petition to wind up the club was avoided as the substantial debt to the Inland Revenue was paid. This payment was made from funds provided by the club's major shareholder, in support of the club, despite John Main (who was...

    Question Older women you fancy...

    At the risk of appearing to be ageist with the handful of PC obsessed individuals who rounded on my other thread yesterday, I was wondering about the "more mature" ladies that zoners find desirable? Setting a 45 plus limit, I'll give you a babe I have always had the hots for and I feel is...

    Ron's Blog 3/7/09

    Chairman's Blog I promised to let you have my thoughts upon my “likes and dislikes of the football industry”. I can sum this up in one four letter word beginning with f… yes you’ve got it FANS! My immediate thought is that the most likeable part of football is winning. However on reflection...

    Mandela/Tutu/MLK Film

    Anyone got any recommendations? Just being doing a unit on Prejudice and Discrimination with my Y10 and wanted to use a Christian example of some one who stood up against against racism in particular. I narrowed it down to one from: Nelson Mandela Archbishop Desmond Tutu Martin Luther King...
  9. How long will it be until investment is made?

    Looking at Clarkey's words about the ambition that Huddersfield show and their ability to offer a 3 year contract I wondered how long it would be, if ever, foreign investment will be made into the leagues outside the premiership in England. Obviously QPR have had some of the wealthiest...

    Football Manager research - Phase 1 ratings

    For those FM fans interested, here are the ratings I have sent off for Phase 1 of the research process for FM 2010. CA = Current Ability (out of 200); e.g. Cristiano Ronaldo has a CA of 191. PA = Potential Ability (out of 200); in younger players, negatives used, where -10 = amazing potential...

    Dear Employees It has been brought to management's attention that some individuals throughout the company have been using foul language during the course of normal conversation with their colleagues. Due to complaints received from some employees who may be easily offended, this type...
  13. Breaking News Chairman's Blog 19/05/09

    I promised to advise on the frequency of blogs at least through the close season. Following a number of emails from supporters on the subject I have settled on three weekly intervals which will take us into the end of the first week of the season (9th June, 30th June, 21st July, 11th August)...

    Chairman's Blog 12th May

    Chairman's Blog I believe I have now answered all those questions – either singularly or combined – that have been sent to the Club’s media department. There were one or two “stragglers” but these points were covered in earlier responses. I have yet to come to a...

    England were crap

    So we were right all along, were we? All those criticisms of Steve McClaren's England, the ones that were constantly rebuffed by the players, the accusations that they cared only about themselves, they were all true? Shocking. I am so surprised I shall have to pick my jawbone up off the floor...

    History Will Reward Liverpool

    This week, a friend of mine bound for pastures new bestowed upon me her collection of old football magazines. I can't begin to explain how exciting this is to someone like me. You see, my friend's magazine collection is taller than her and it stretches back through the years to historic...

  19. Breaking News Ron's blog 24/02/09

    Whilst the rest of us were watching the match, Ron was emailing us his latest thoughts: I want to begin this week by thanking all our supporters who were able to attend the match at Colchester this weekend. The 1800 or so who made the journey across Essex showed, once again, what passion is...
  20. Zone Update Ron's Blog-17-02-09

    Chairman's Blog This week’s topic – Youth Development – is one of my favourites. This is probably in recognition that the Club’s advancement must be from organic growth. Over the last couple of weeks I have talked about player purchase and the increased structure that we have, and are...
