Thread | Sarina Wiegman

Done a brilliant job with the Lionesses and before that with the Dutch national side. I think Spain had better players, but her motivational and organisational skills paid triumphantly,
Appreciate the women's game isn't at the same level as the mens - but as a manager - surely some club will take a punt at some point?
Jose, Wenger, McKenna - plenty of high achieving managers didn't play at the top of the men's game, so can't really see why she couldn't be a success.
What level do you think might take a punt? If clubs give people like Pullis, Allardice and McCarthy a go, why not Wiegman?
Thoughts? |

Lots of questions around the role of the police obviously but also huge questions still to be answered around political interference, the media role and the failure of the justice system to hold indivifual officers to account.
40 years passage will make it hard (Northumbria plod shredding docs only last year) and prosecutions (even with evidence) seem unlikely.
But the truth is important, although it may be uncomfortable for a few. Hope it doesn't take years to report but these things are never quick. Modelled on the HIP report apparently, with the Bishop of Sheffield over seeing it.

Thread | Awesome news for the Twtd cycling hive
at 07:44 18 Jul 2025
Sept 2 and 3rd the Tour of Britain will be in East and South Suffolk.
Put it in yer diaries :-)
Exact routes to come but some detail here:
"The exact stage route for the opening leg of the Lloyds Tour of Britain Men will be published later in July, but will include passing through Wickham Market, Aldeburgh, Saxmundham, Framlingham, Halesworth, Bungay, and Beccles.
For the second stage, Stowmarket will host the Lloyds Tour of Britain Men for the first time, though like Southwold has hosted a finish of the women’s race, also won by Jolien D’hoore in 2019.
Cllr Andy Mellen, leader of Mid Suffolk District Council said: “We’re delighted to be able to bring the Tour of Britain Men into the heart of Suffolk and look forward to welcoming some of the world’s best riders. We already know from the Women’s Tour that our towns and villages will be out in force to cheer them on.
“The race brings real excitement to the district, inspiring others to enjoy the benefits of cycling, as well as giving a real boost to our visitor economy.”
Further details of the route of stage two will also be published later in July, but will include Debenham and Eye in Mid Suffolk, and Sudbury and Hadleigh in Babergh."

Been out, stretched my legs and now got a couple of hours to kill before this evening - looking at the TV sporting options it looks like Tour de France or Wimbledon?

Following on from J2s thoughts - basically the idea of living a simpler minimalist life without the stress of a career and all that entails...
If you could make a switch now - what's the lowest amount of money that you would take (index linked) for life today. So if someone said here's £25k a year, for ever, but you are not allowed to ever earn another penny - would you take it?
Would you take less? Would you want more to do the deal?
You don't get to change your mind later, or take it later - the offer is only valid for today and you have to decide for you and your family.
Assume your mortgage is paid so what you get is what you live on and not a penny more. |
