Have you read 'Killing Thatcher'? It's excellent, very readable and overlaps with two of your categories:

Springsteen's autobiography is a few years old now but one of the best music bios I've read.

But do bear this in mind given the Saudi government is effectively bankrolling the tournament:

Good thing SA don't have any history of choking....

I've just watched the video of FBI agents arresting a US Senator for the crime of trying to ask questions of dog-killer and incompetent Kristy Noem.

I think we can call it fascism now.

After season one, the general concensus
at 16:42 12 Jun 2025

Even as recently as Oxford in the fog, less than 2.5 years ago, Burgess looked a long, long way off being a top end League 1 player let alone a good Championship one.

It's been a good journey for him personally, and us as a club, whatever happens next.

It sounds a bit like Suffolk's laziest criticism of footballers.

Yes, transmission constraints are a thing because the UK has had more demand in hte SOuth East and generation in other places for a long time and transmission infrastructure costs money and when anyone tries to build it there are massive NIMBYish campaigns against it (see the ongoing complaints against pylons in Suffolk).

I note the article doesn't mention a MWh figure for that £72,000 probably because it's not a large sum on that basis.

Never-ending football

Yes, I'll watch some of the women's Euros but, frankly, I enjoy a break from football over the Summer. And it's not much of one this year anyway.

"Running around London for 3 hrs (all on foot!). I love the show but doing this round London with colleagues is my definition of hell. Ideally I want to cheat like hell and hoping anyone who has done it can offer insight."

Post the location and we can recommend some decent pubs.

Yeah, that's more to the point I think. Unless they were waiting to get the new manager lined up.

Yes, quite. A good League 1 player capable of playing, but not excelling, in the Championship. Those early season goals in 22-23 played a good part in setting us on our way though and he contributed later that season by being a good squad player.

I can't see any problem with sell-on clauses.

Buy backs on the other hand look like the same sort of restriction on trade that lead to the Bosman ruling in the first place. Different in character but quite restrictive for the worker (putting aside that they are generally well rewarded).

Remember when we had to accept 800k for Matty Holland.
at 10:13 30 May 2025

Bent wanted to go and we needed to sell him that Summer so not entirely surprising that we accepted the offer. We also put in loads of other clauses so made a lot more on the deal.

re: Holland, he didn't so much jump at the chance to go to Charlton but we clearly made it clear then that we needed to sell. Negligent from Sheepshanks not to do the same in the Autumn really.

It's £50, hardly a big sum of money but a reasonable offer for a careless but inconsequential mistake. You may have overthought this, put the money towards a nice meal out and be done with it.
