Heres an idea, what if he doesnt go? Although his family is in SA the baby is here and so is there network? What if the marque offer is too good? Why always wish for the negative on everything.. be optimistic? Are we that bad a club? For a start, there was a reason I wrote IF in capital letters. It...

Something to make me think next season will be an improvement on this one would be nice. The signs are there for me but I appreciate not everyone agrees There's hope in that we appear to have an attack coach. The glass half full side would suggest anything on that side will be an improvement as it ...

I think everyone is in agreement that a 10 is needed. The big question is are we looking at a project type 10, or a more experienced stop gap in case Pollard moves on I think a more experienced stop gap might be a logical idea, but might be an unaffordable one. Shillcock has proved he can do a job ...

I'd go for Ben Volavola of the available 10s who seem reasonable targets from a cap perspective. Quite. I suggested Pellegrini as an example as he's possibly and example of several "desirable" qualities: 1) relatively young (so potential for long term option) 2) has demonstrated potential...

I thought he had 2 reds at Cheetahs before he joined us and then one vs Wasps (may be wrong though) Close. One red in SA, the red vs Wasps and then the ban for cumulative foul play yellow cards (3 yellows in fairly quick succession for foul play being effectively upgraded to a red). Found it... He ...

Hotel Brooklyn brand was created and operated by Bespoke Hotels. They sold the brand and the two hotels to Kew Green Hotels, who operate a number of hotels under IHG franchises. The Hotel Brooklyn brand is being scrapped, and both properties will be rebranded under IHG's Voco. KGH bought the leaseh...

I think 6 match is the minimum ban for that action, and with previous red cards even though the most recent is 3 years ago, I'm guessing he wasn't eligible for a discount I think his problem with that is he's had one "clean" season, and that was last season. The three yellows was in 21/22...

The hearing document talks about 4 bans including this one & "an additional" ban for totting up. I make it 2 red cards, 1 citing dismissed & the totting up ban. So where is the extra suspension it mentions? They don't deign to list the previous in the hearing notes. I thought he h...

The stinking reputation in football you mention was because there were people who thought they could get rich quick by gambling on the price of the fan token or on the Chilliz crypto coin and ended up losing lots of money and then started to cry about it. The Tigers fan token which was available fo...

Talking of potential signings, with Pollard obviously the incumbent 10 and Shillcock proving a capable deputy if required, is there a chance to take a bit more of a punt on a back up 10. Someone like Pat Pellegrini from Coventry; really good in the PRC and champ last season, late call up into the To...

Why do you say Socios is rubbish? Because I don't like the pretend "investment" model it's marketed with, or at least was. I prefer sponsorship deals where the club don't need to provide and FAQ and explanation the week after the deal is launched. By the time Socios arrived at Welford Roa...

Very true.

And as the late Tony O'Reilly found, that money can disappear very quickly.

Ultimately is just tapping into all available potential revenue streams.

I don't think there are any implications for the club at all. A new operator acquired the hotels and decided to rebrand with a far bigger franchise.
