    jono reacted to JfR in Lee Buchanan   
    He might be a free agent at the end of next season, but as a home grown player of his age we'd be entitled to compensation if he left for elsewhere on a free, anyway. I'd rather get another season out of him and have that than sell him to Forest (unless, of course, they're offering silly money), and you'd hope the club feels the same.

    Apparently in 1337 a man called John le White junior was fined 2d for “evacuating his bowels to the abomination of neighbours and passers-by".
    So there you have it. Who says nothing of any note happens in Tamworth.

    Tamworth was actually the capital of Mercia for a few hundred years. This statue is just outside Tamworth station. That’s about the limit of our claim to fame apart from the Robin Reliant and the Tamworth pig.?

    jono got a reaction from dcfc4ever in Captain Tom Lawrence   
    I think the arguments relative to the positions of Keogh and the others have been discussed at length some time ago.
    Tom, before the incident, was considered a top player / potential talisman .. but he blotted his copy book. He was punished. He got his head down and sought to redeemed himself. I think he succeeded in that. This in itself puts him as a candidate for whatever the club decides. Personally I would always want a Curtis type of man, as a team captain but the decision isn’t mine and Tom, having redeemed himself has a earned the chance to be considered for the role.

    Bullying in the workplace is defined as gross misconduct by many organisations but as this falls under employment law then wouldn't be illegal but defined as a breach of contract. 
    Bullying elsewhere could be classified harassment or intimidation and most definitely is illegal in this context. 
    If you are victim to harassment, deliberate exclusion or continual pranks or name calling at your expense then the first stage would be to document each and every one of these instances and then submit this as evidence as a formal grievance to your employer - if the complaint is made as a formal grievance then the employer has a duty to investigate it and reply back to the complainant. 
    If the situation is that serious then you could justifiably without prejudice stay away from work if you are in fear of your own personal safety until the matter is resolved.

    A very decent idea.
    Exchange of knowledge and experience between coaching staff, a place to accelerate our young players development by exposing  them to men's football earlier than may normally be possible, and a chance for Tamworth's staff to possibly learn from a professional coaching team from a higher level.
    Win win.

    We've shut Moor Farm, sold off the fixtures and fittings, and outsourced the production of future youth players to Tamworth.
    If outsourcing has worked for call centres I'm sure it will be fine for football clubs... ?

    Even though we acquired Byrne for a pittance it would be a waste of that shrewd bit of business if we lost him for next to nothing too.

    Gemma Arterton - great actress with a social conscience. The fact she's easy on the eye is merely a bonus.
    Boris Johnson - taking one for the team here, but I'd make him my fag, so he'd feel at home.
    @jono, seems like a decent enough sort to spend a lifetime locked up with.
    Practical, funny and looks at things from a different perspective to me, being a Manc. Plus Mancs are normally quite down to earth and dry.
    @Mostyn6. It would never be boring with this fella on board.
    Witty, often controversial, and we could sink a Mythos every time Crete flashed by the window.
    I realise it wouldn't be often, as we blasted into deep space, but he'd make Mars like Kavos and Stalin's, and that's good enough for me.

    Absolutely ! But if we lose, B4 can’t do the post match interviews .. we’ll get in trouble with the EFL. 
    Personally though I think be 4 would be better dealing with player sales .. he’d drive a hard bargain and get us some cracking prices. Wouldn’t be long B4 we had enough in the kitty from academy sales to buy Messi

    I think any of us not mentioned by page 5 would have to be classed in the "forgettable" bracket as a manager - And I can't decide whether actually that might be the exact kind of manager we need right now ?
     
    Personally I'm going for @angieram with B4 as assistant - I feel like the sense of pragmatic optimism is needed from a manager right now and then the unrestrained love for the club from an assistant should permeate well into the playing squad
    If players can't get themselves in the mood after B4 has given them a pep talk I genuinely don't know what else would
