Hang on, can we step through this logic?
If I'm selling something, like a car, I wouldn't tell the potential buyer I was desperate to sell it. That doesn't push the price up, it pushes it down.
Or am I looking at this the wrong way?
Reminds me of Odemwingie driving down to the training ground on transfer deadline day.
I realise, he would have been invited, he didn't do this himself off spec, but when the deal collapsed it wasn't his agent of was on Sky Sports News was it? |

We weren't the only club chasing him though. Don't forget the much lauded recruitment at Brighton also signed him.
I think this is the reality of where QPR is, we have to take chances with our recruitment.
On paper Eze was also a massive punt, released from stacks of other clubs, just looking for the clouds to align and a career to develop.
I think the issue with Taylor is 100% down to personality, which is why the Human part of scouting should never be replaced. I'm sure a Mark Warburton/Neil Warnock experienced person could have worked out his character in 5 mins and decided it would never work out |

I'm bored right now to be fair
EDIT: Actually just to ease the boredom I re-read your post using Russel Brands voice, and I'm now slightly entertained.
Have you ever written a booky wook yourself? [Post edited 20 Jun 12:40]

You are all doing it wrong!
It's not a straight mirror. You need to swap the first letter and then reverse it, otherwise its not really a code |

Can you get by with OpenOffice?
Its free, and if you are just doing home based stuff its more than adequate.
If its for work, can you run it through a business and get the VAT back at least? |

And Joey Barton, and Adel Taraabt.
It's common to ship a player out on loan if the coach thinks they are disruptive and we cannot sell them at that point in time.
I guess a lot of the time the club loses a lot of money on these deals.
Do they budget to pay for two managers salaries? Last year we must have still be paying for Ainsworth for a chunk of time, until he worked again? |

Yeah, you normally get to see the managers on SKY acting as pundits during this period.
I think it signals "I'm ready to work again" to other clubs |

Is this true?
I thought, even when a manger is paid off its a "settlement" that means a percentage of the contract, so they are able to work again.
Also, like a transfer its not all the money in one go is it? |

I know you are a self proclaimed wordsmith, but is "mythologised" really the right word for Stanley Bowles?
There wasn't much need to make up stories about Stan, the truth was usually far more entertaining.
You could have just used legend, but I guess it wasn't clever enough |

100% ^^^
We've finally got a tangible asset with the new training ground. Imagine if we got a poor owner in who sold this and leased it back to us? |

I used to have a login for Redux
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBC_Redux
It was really good, you could do archive retrievals at different bitrates.
You could even submit searches for old content that would trigger a Human to go and find the content on a dusty shelf somewhere and digitise it.
Some old series were famously recorded over, but everything new is kept now, just not always available on IPlayer due to licencing |

I can confirm they will fine you. I'm not going to try it again. I'd do a lot to avoid Butterwick, but not that much! |

I promise you, I got caught by a camera at 32mph
I was sure you got 10% "grace" but no, apparently speeding is speeding.
I've watched a lot of Police Interceptors et al and at the end of the programme they always say what people get in court. I'm always amazed when something like a massive long car chase, which probably costs the Police thousands ends up with a £500 fine and points on a provisional licence |

Mental isn't it?
As I've got older I realise that the law is there to keep "normal" people in their place.
I can get caught speeding at 32mph, pay my fine and the uplift on my insurance.
Yet, someone else can drive a car they don't own, with no Tax, insurance or licence, get done and then pick up a small fine and points on the licence they don't actually have...
If I get the train its more than £25. I've found I can park for the day in the old Kings Mall for less than this, so its not really much choice for me
We are starting to reap the rewards of privatising all our public services and the years of neglect that has ensued.
Its disgraceful, transport should be better and cheaper |
