Further evidence of this is when he appointed Neil Baldwin as the kit man at Stoke. Macari even gave him a 5 minute run out in a testimonial match.
Might be worth checking out the film 'Marvellous'. It may well be on Britbox or iplayer.
Edit. Just seen Zombies post above. [Post edited 28 Jan 2021 20:59]

I've not understood for a long time why these measures haven't been introduced to get helpless people off the street.
A relatively inexpensive solution that can be employed in either this warehouse type set-up or in a field or other ground if necessary, with shared sanitary facilities; i.e. toilet/shower blocks.
As for the authorities it can only be assumed there is a lack of will to help people, as Macari demonstrates here how entirely possible and relatively simple such a set up can be to put together.
Credit to the man for making a common sense concept happen.
So now what reason can there be for these to not spring up all over the country? |  |

One I thought of was old railway carriages, a lot of the older ones getting decommissioned now have mains plugs, stick a shower in one of the toilets, divide the carriage into sleeping spaces and there's a decent place to live. | |

Excellent stuff. I’m intrigued by the image being owned by MUFC though. |  |

Inspired, well done that man.
Compare and contrast with our government chumocracy raping the public purse to further enrich people who are already wealthy. |  |

The footage credit (ie for shooting the footage) is for Tom Reece. A quick Google reveals him to be United's official cameraman. As an employee, I think that means the copyright of his work belongs to his employer.
Presumably Utd were more than happy to help out on the publicity front. | |

Absolutely.
There must be a significant number of retired carriages knocking about and having stayed in a converted one myself for a couple of nights once in Australia I can confirm they make fantastic accommodation as you say.
We, (I say 'we', I mean the authorities), have no excuse to not help people in need at all do we? We just don't care; they deserve it and all that.
Definitely a subject that makes me very annoyed. | |

Because they're not up to the minimum legal standards for permanent (as opposed to temporary/holiday) accommodation.
Now you'd say that staying in a pod/tent is better than sleeping in a shop doorway. And you'd be correct. But, unfortunately, rules and common sense do not always march together. |  |

But rather than change the regulations in order to help out, they remain the same and people continue to live on the street.
I don't see how though, if accompanied by the necessary amenities, those, or similar basic constructions, don't meet requirements.
If I won the Euros (yeah yeah) that's the first thing I'd be looking into.
That and mobile homes. [Post edited 28 Jan 2021 22:52]

Insulation, facilities, etc.
Problem is, if you relax the rules, then the concern is that rapacious landlords would use the loophole to let out substandard properties on the normal rental market.
I wondered if it would work as simply providing a fenced-off space under shelter in which the homeless person could set up a tent or use their own bedding (with communal amenities). | |

"rapacious landlords would use the loophole to let out substandard properties on the normal rental market."
There could be government approved schemes though which exclude profit making entrepreneurs from taking part.
Besides, the idea would be as a stepping stone only, so could fall under temporary accommodation rules. Trust me, those pods are far superior to much of the temporary accommodation councils offer. Graffiti, stain ridden, filthy places that they offer that haven't been cleaned properly in years in dodgy areas.
A scheme such as Macari has there is a controlled environment which could be replicated in other guises I'm certain.
As I posted a few days back, there's an article kicking about that reports on a housing scheme - I cannot locate the thing now - that involved the rehoming of some 340 odd people off the streets. Around 50 are already in work or training and a large number are receiving help they need. A handful have willingly returned to the street only.
First step is to get people off the street and into a safe environment. [Post edited 28 Jan 2021 23:08]

Indeed. A safe, secure environment - with an address - is pretty much requisite to getting anywhere. | |

Now that looks like a proper job chip shop, will we ever seem them again (and with cod and chips at less than seven quid)? |  |
