Back in the old Teasdale days the articles of association insisted that you had a minimum of 100 shares to be a director. I don't think that's been removed, in fact I think it's been increased by a significant number. Interesting, didn’t know that. It’s unusual for companies to have that requiremen...

That was always going to happen. I think you will find he’s retaining some of his shares to enable him to do so.

He doesn’t need to own shares to enable him to be a director but it is sensible for him to retain some for all parties as it makes sure their interests are aligned as shareholders

Great news. I’m looking forward to seeing what AiScout and PlayerLENS can do for us - it isn’t Moneyball, but seems to be what Pace sees as the future, and I would expect player purchase and development, and then profit from future player sales to be a key part of the strategy. I’m sceptical that w...

Maybe it was published prematurely by accident. Looks like it’s done though

The link doesn’t seem to show the press release referred to. Maybe it’s been taken down or maybe I’m looking in the wrong place?

Just watching The Foootball Show on Sky Sports News. Dermot Gallagher says no foul on Ben Mee but should of been allowed to carry on and see the outcome, he also said Leeds was a definite pen.

We’re setting up not to lose which means we are scared to take risks and hence there is no supply to the forwards. How many times do we win the ball in the opposition half only to eventually pass it back to Pope who then lumps it up field and we lose possession. Unfortunately, when you have had a ba...

I can see where others might see higher spending power as the only consideration that Dyche might use in his decision to resign from Burnley and move to pastures new. However, a major disadvantage to every other possible employer must be the job security and amount of control over almost all things...

I really like the lad and I was at St Mary’s last season when he scored THAT goal but I think he’s one of those players that’s almost too good for The Championship but not good enough for The Premier League.

I used to play Heaton Park a couple of times a week back in the early 80's........it's tough! The pint in the 3 Arrows after made it worthwile though. I agree on Heaton Park too.

Stephens has been poor in every game he has played but was particularly bad yesterday. His ball retention, passing and movement were all awful and he was rightly hooked at half time. It was a performance very similar to that which Drinkwater put in against City last season and he was also hooked ear...

We can argue all we like about whether it is good value or not, but ultimately market forces will decide. If there is enough take up then it will be deemed an acceptable price. If not, either because people won’t pay or are using alternative (cheaper) means to access the content, then the price will...

I have a T95Z and a Firestick. I prefer the interface on the Firestick but the internet speed on my T95Z seems to be less affected by my VPN than the Firestick.

Don’t hang your hopes on a vaccine, it’s a virus it’s gunna mutate. Bit like flu, each year it will be different.

Imagine being one of the players going out every game giving your best and the manager keeps going on about wanting to replace you with someone better. Don’t think he’s said he wants better (although every manager does), it is more a case that we are short on numbers so we need more to cover for in...
