They're all dead, Dave

They're all dead, Dave

That sort of argument just makes you want to spit….

It's not just procurement - it's the management structure and the way things are done in the whole public sector....
Too many managers unwilling to make decisions (including way too many contract staff in senior positions who have no 'skin in the game'); lack of accountability; far too much "we've always done it that way" or "we're a special case" when changes are suggested; poor processes that encourage money to be wasted (fixed budgets every year for various departments with no clear plan regarding how the money will be spent - "we'd better spend it all before the end of the year or we'll get less next time"); ingrained laziness ands no management oversight to encourage things to change; etc, etc.....
Over the past 30+ years I've worked with both local and central government, the Royal Mail, and the NHS - there are the same issues apparent in all of them.....

I don’t think so they have moved their attention to him and not the club for the advance funding.  If they miss a salary day again then that would trigger a points penalty 

Where did I suggest they ignore it? I'm just suggesting reasons why it may be taking so long for them to take action.
In your case, it's pretty straightforward rather tha 'apparent' - your owner treated prmotion as if he was on supermarket sweep - shovelling any old crap into his trolley no matter how expensive it was - enjoy those chickens when they come home to roost....

I suspect that the scale of the Man City issue is so huge that the authorities don't have a clue where to start - whatever decision they make will leave them wide open to action being taken by other clubs who believe they were disadvantaged by Man City's actions - any club that's missed out on a title; that missed out on qualification for European competions; that lost to them during a season and was subsequently relegated - there's an argument that every club that's been up against them during the period of their 'cheating' may have deserved more prize money - there's eveen arguments to be made that other clubs in the Chamions League deserve a bite of the cherry. It has the potential to bring the whole house of cards crashing to the ground.....

No! 😲
Not until he has officially retire... oh... someone's moved it already!

 

You speak for yourself - I'll sink a few when they get their just deserts.....

Or it tells you that they want to do the right thing by the player and make sure that he's given the best possible chance to fully recover and have a long career in the game......

It's about a bit more than them trying to "disrupt Israeli shipping" - it's thought that a third of the shipping that would normally use the Suez canal is rerouting because of the repeated attacks. They also launched a drone attack on a Royal Navy ship which was always likely to cause a reprisal.....

Along with John Peel, she provided the soundtrack to my youth. 
Im amazed she was 83. RIP. 

Did you have to correct it? I was quite enjoying our resident stato's tying themselves in knots over such a pointless argument...
