Nah worries over immigration are pretty much ever present in any country and well pre-dates social media. Even Australia has the ‘we’re full up’ anti-immigration and passed controversial legislation against immigrants last year, and that’s 90 per cent empty.

When was the last time Kimber kept wicket?

I thought Bertrand was a great signing on a free. He was on £2m a year supposedly and played four times. So £1m a performance.

Has the sales even been completed yet? They extended the deadline to complete it. Jarvis is going to be in charge of arguably the most important off-season at the club when that arrives. He’ll be judged on that more than anything in 5/10 years time. Wipe off the debt and put in a structure that’s self-sustainable going forward. If he doesn’t, doubt the ECB will throw any more in the way of lifelines.

Two out chasing wide ones (Hill and Ahmed). Otherwise it was the new ball again and then kept a little low for Hanscomb and Van Beek. 50 partnership between Cox and Hanscomb though shows you can bat it if you get in. Cox has got to get back in now though.

That’s all about Dan Ashworth who was joining another club. That’s the standard gardening leave. RVN isn’t joining a competitor. I think from my very limited knowledge there’s something about ‘right to work’ so if the employee is placed on gardening leave, they could take it to court and say they wanted to work. The employer would then have to prove they had a legal reason to place them on gardening leave. In Ashworth’s case, organising the transfers of staff for a rival club would be a legitimate (and fairly standard) reason. I’m guessing ‘to not pay him off until July because we don’t want to’ would not be looked on favourably by a court as a legitimate reason.

3 at half time. BDR took off in the first half injured.

I’m not a legal expert, but wouldn’t surprise me if there’s doubts over whether it would be legal. It could depend if he had anything in his contract about gardening leave and even then, it might have to be mutual.

I think I’d be quite happy settling for mid-table if it meant binning off all the current senior players and management and using most of the youngsters and a few new signings. It’d be too much pressure expecting them to go up though.

Probably not, but that fact I say probably is evidence enough RVN is worse. We can’t even score under him. Never mind the fact he can’t do a basic like organise a defence.

The manager with the same players who was above the relegation zone? Not that it matters, but the evidence is pretty obvious.

Yeah. The defence before was shite due to the players, but at least it was better organised.

She’s obviously got way more fight.

3-0.
