Kasper was a grumpy bugger, that's for sure. wasn't very nice, at times, to some of the ground staff and would go off on them if he ever got any sand on his gloves for instance ( from minor pitch repairs/ maintenance). But here's the thing - he was one of the best and you don't get to be one of the best without having extremely high standards. think, to a lesser extent, a GK version of Roy Keane. Trouble is when you start to decline because of age and you still act like you are one of the worlds best, it can cause friction. With regards to the contract he wanted paying like he was one of the worlds best and we couldn't afford that/ didn't want to. There was also some talk at the club that he may have deliberately priced himself out of our reach as he was getting itchy feet and also saw the direction the club was heading in..

Yes. all very tricky. I think Iraq for instance and i think i mentioned them before.. by 2030 they are predicted to be the worlds 3rd biggest oil producer. they are a poor nation who feel they need oil to develop their country neglected for years through mishandling and wars... they are also determined to not live in Iran's shadow militarily. all this takes money they don't have but money that oil will give them. They are on record at this recent conference as saying they are focusing on emission and not the type of fuel. and i agree, unfortunately, about the 2 degrees.. and its one of the reasons i have been saying repeatedly that we are progressing but it will be a slow progress and wont ever be a case of a quick phase out at least globally.

Sounds like the perfect job for him then.. -
Qatar were actually using the conference as an opportunity to Network and gain more oil contracts. Thats the sort of thing we are all up against..

I would have accepted this wording at the first meeting a few years ago…

I guess it’s interesting news to me as I live just a few miles from the Charlotte FC stadium. -
Careful! he might get the Humphry Not quite the same spelling but close enough....

Chuffin Nora. I was delighted when Christian Fuchs signed for Charlotte FC when he left Leicester. However, i am managing to contain myself with the News that Dean Smith has now been appointed Charlotte's head coach

Midfielders Esteban Cambiasso and Dean Hammond What a midfield combo….

sign him for life, and his children. And his children’s children.

Looks like the club owner might be going to jail! hoping that’s a deterrent…

And this bring us back to a point you made a couple of days ago... I wonder if it isnt our intelligence thats the problem , i wonder if its because we all have such strong emotions - for Iraq, they love for their own country outweighs anything else, it seems. Just a guess... no idea really...

We all dream of a team full of wingers! Edit: Gary Megson doesn't

Heres an interesting take on things from Iraq.. Then I found Iraq's office, where I spoke to Yousif Muyad Yousif, director of the climate change department. He showed me the following pictures of the impacts of climate change in Iraq, where rivers run dry and people forced to spend $80 a month on buying clean water. By 2030, Iraq is forecast to be the third largest contributor to global oil supply. But it's a poor country reliant on that income. Yousif said nations must respond to the climate crisis in ways that reflect their national circumstances. "We want to focus on emissions, not the source," he says. And a lack of financial support is crucial in their objections, he tells me. "We need to increase our resilience to climate change - how can we do that without finance?" It highlights just why there's so much disagreement here in Dubai. I hadn't thought about the financial cost to the poorer nations. But thats still not an excuse for so many other nations..

No. ( Bill Kenwright is already dead)

That might be a one sided fight...

I have never really understood the far left’s support for Hamas.. Hamas is an organization that would kill without a second thought sectors that would be majorly left leaning - gay people, transgender, ect..
-
it’s really worth watching as much of it as you can..

Well it had basically become a sort of argument. and i think the interviewing had been very.. combative. I'm not saying they didn't do anything wrong.. massive mistakes that they both owned up very quickly to.. i just don't think there's two people here who are straight out anti-Semitic, which is what people are seeking their heads for..

100% agree. Its also possible that during consultations with the local council some concerns may have been shared as to where the local transport/ infrastructure can cope with 50,000 piling out of the King Power all at the same time. I just believe it will be a phased project and with further stabilization of prem footy ( and proof the current expansion project works) , we'll expand further.
