Hope you're better soon. However, if you don't plan to use your codeine, do you want to send it my way? I had some after I had a kidney stone taken out a couple of years ago, and I found it incredibly....moreish

I don't ask how it ended up together in one bird. To be fair, after a few Christmas morning drinks I'm not too fussed how it got to the table ?

Haven't had turkey for years. We usually go for one of those multi-birds roast.  We're planning duck, pheasant, partridge and pigeon this year.

Parachute payments have long since outlived their original purpose, i.e. to act as a financial safety net for relegated clubs to be able to continue to pay expensive players' wages and any outstanding transfer fee installments from their time in the Premier League. Instead, they've simply become a war chest for relegated clubs to buy and pay players far beyond the reach of other Championship clubs, thereby gaining a significant advantage. Personally, I'd either:
a) - Scrap them and just pool the combined money to be shared out throughout the EFL. If relegated clubs can't afford to pay players, that's their own fault, just like any other Championship club. 
b) - If the principle of financial support for relegated clubs is maintained, the money should be held centrally by an independent body and money only released on a monthly basis for the sole purpose of paying existing outgoings such as players wages and transfer fee installments. New players and their wages would have to be paid for by the relegated club themselves, not by the fund (again, like any other Championship club).
You simply can't have any form of financial fair play whilst allowing some clubs to receive massive payouts from a third party (i.e. the Premier League); it's a contradiction in terms.

Crikey, that Horan link is as convoluted as one of the clue answers on '321' back in the 80s. Although, if this was 321, Tepper would be the speedboat, Kerchner would be a new Mini Metro wheeled out with its four way flashers on, and Alonso would be....
