As per the TV programme last night sounds like an awful company to work for. At one warehouse they had to walk 300 yards in all weathers just to use the loo. The yard outside where they load their vehicles was just rough land totally unsuitable for pushing trollies on. Plus they changed the parcel sizes so that more of them are considered small.

RockMetal MusicHistory is in USA. · Follow 𝗦𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗥𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗺? Formed in Birmingham in 1965, The Move were one of the UK’s most exciting and versatile rock bands of the late '60s. Blending pop, psychedelia, and hard rock, they racked up an impressive string of Top 20 hits in Britain—including classics like “Flowers in the Rain” and “Fire Brigade.” With Roy Wood at the creative helm, the band stood out for their strong songwriting and unique vocal rotation among four members. Despite their popularity at home, The Move never found commercial success in the US, making them one of British rock’s best-kept secrets. Yet their legacy lived on—not least because Roy Wood would later co-found both Electric Light Orchestra (ELO) and Wizzard. For many fans, The Move remains a brilliant chapter in British rock history worth rediscovering. #TheMove #RoyWood #BritishRock #60sMusic #StillRememberThem #fblifestyle

Someone's guestimate https://footballleagueworld.co.uk/how-much-money-ai-thinks-each-of-the-efl-championship-clubs-are-worth/?fbclid=IwY2xjawOs2WFleHRuA2FlbQIxMABzcnRjBmFwcF9pZBAyMjIwMzkxNzg4MjAwODkyAAEek3vyGM3gMFhroii7gBOmQyT3HYUwY1EpNyHl6Lhah2OUSUXm-OWnN9TDsX8_aem_3vWRvb4skFntNpXpQ8Nzlw How much money AI thinks each of the 24 EFL Championship clubs are worth Benedict is an EFL-accredited writer for FLW, having joined the Core Team in May 2023 - with a strong focus on Hull City and developments in the West Midlands. After graduating with a 2:1 (Hons) in Multimedia Journalism at the University of Wolverhampton in September 2024, he graduated with a Merit at Coventry University after pursuing an MA in Sports Journalism Benedict previously wrote for ProstInternational and SportInStaffs, covering live Rugby League and Non-League matches, as well as gaining vital experience as a media intern for Wolves' academy setup covering the Under-18's. The Championship is, once again, proving its worth in terms of drama and unpredictability. The second tier of English football has seen the aforementioned attributes become synonymous over time, and it must be said that the nature of the current table means we are in for a dramatic end to the campaign - there are no two ways about that. However, whilst drama on the pitch continues to be at the forefront of discussion, the world of football finance has become more prominent than ever, with clubs having to be extremely innovative in how they access funding from national and global brands to increase revenue streams which, in turn, allow for more money to be spent on improving infrastructure such as training or academy facilities, or being able to attract a higher standard of player in the transfer market. The 24 sides represented in the 2025/26 Championship give a strong blend of sides looking to restore themselves as Premier League regulars or, at worst, dominant forces at the very top of the EFL, as well as clubs with an unlimited sense of ambition to do exactly that for the very first time. With that being said, Football League World put AI-based chatbot, ChatGPT to the test and asked the algorithm to predict the market value of each and every side in the division, and here are those claims. Birmingham City - £80m Tom Wagner, Birmingham City The first prediction from AI is that Birmingham City are worth £80m. Such a figure is still extremely wealthy for a Championship club, it believes. However, in reality, it would be fair to say that Blues are worth more than the aforementioned sum as a result of several global brand deals and a recent Amazon Prime documentary which has enabled the club to spend big in the transfer market on players such as Jay Stansfield and Kyogo Furuhashi. Furthermore, such figures also do not align with the cost of the upcoming 'Powerhouse' stadium and Sports Quarter complex. Blackburn Rovers - £90m Ewood Park, Blackburn Rovers AI believes that one-time Premier League champions, Blackburn Rovers, are worth £90m when taking all assets into account. Once again, though, this feels a rather 'out-there' claim from the computer, with it being well-known that the East Lancashire side have struggled financially for many years under The Venky's, who have continuously been locked in legal battles against the Indian Ministry of Finance in recent months. Bristol City - £40m Bristol City supporters at Ashton Gate Bristol City are predicted to have a market value of £40m, according to AI. Robins owner, Steve Lansdown, has been on the lookout for external investment in recent times as the West Country outfit look to reach the top-flight for the first time since 1980 after missing out in last season's play-off semi-finals. However, the lifelong supporter has had no luck on this front so far, seeing talks with Saudi Arabian boxing tycoon, Turki Alalshikh, fall flat. Charlton Athletic - £20m Charlton Athletic supporters at The Valley Charlton Athletic hold the joint-lowest valuation in the Championship as per AI, with a figure of just £20m. The Addicks' resources are limited to that of several divisional rivals after spending the previous five years in League One. But, that didn't stop them splashing the cash, particularly in the deal which brought Charlie Kelman to The Valley from QPR over the summer. Coventry City - £75m Coventry City AI believes Coventry City are now worth £75m under the ownership of Doug King. Reasons behind such a prediction include a major boost in crowd figures and a solid performance in the Championship over recent years, which enabled Mark Robins and now Frank Lampard to reshape the squad after major profits were made on Viktor Gyokeres and Gustavo Hamer. Furthermore, the Sky Blues now also own the CBS Arena for the first time ever, striking a deal with Mike Ashley in August 2025. Derby County - £65m David Clowes of Derby County at Pride Park AI claims that Derby County are worth £65m - a figure not too dissimilar to that of reports amid discussions of a takeover at Pride Park. David Clowes rescued his boyhood club from the brink for £33m in 2022, and the Rams are now worth approximately £60m whilst figures such as Ashley and John Textor consider making moves that will give them power in the East Midlands. Hull City - £60m Acun Ilicali watching a Hull City match Hull City are worth £60m, according to the algorithm. The Tigers were acquired by Turkish media mogul, Acun Ilicali, for £30m in January 2022, but haven't yet been able to return to the Premier League despite well-publicised ambitions. Ilicali has divided opinion amongst supporters, particularly after the club was hit with a two-window transfer fee restriction in July 2025 after cases of delayed payments to other clubs. Ipswich Town - £170m Portman Road, Ipswich Town Gamechanger 20 Limited have overseen matters at Ipswich Town since April 2021 after a £40m takeover, and developments at Portman Road have certainly been game-changing since. According to AI, the Tractor Boys are now worth £170m as a result of their rapid growth from League One to the Premier League between 2022 and 2024, as well as a recent ownership restructure, although reports claim the club is now worth almost double that of the aforementioned prediction. Leicester City - £380m King Power Stadium, Leicester City Despite plenty of financial uncertainty surrounding the club, AI claims that Leicester City are worth £380m at present - the highest figure within this list. The Foxes are certainly not performing like a club worth such sums, though, having struggled for form upon their return to the EFL, whilst they wait to learn the fate of a court hearing against alleged PSR breaches over a three-year period between 2021 and 2024. Middlesbrough - £90m Steve Gibson - Middlesbrough AI believes Middlesbrough are worth £90m right now under the ownership of local businessman and supporter, Steve Gibson. The Teesside outfit have spent fairly big by second tier standards in recent years but haven't been able to bridge the gap between their position and the Premier League, where they have been exiled from since the summer of 2017. Millwall - £50m The Den, Millwall By contrast, AI believes that Millwall are only worth £50m. Such claims are understandable, as the Lions have never tasted the riches of the Premier League, having only spent two years in the top-flight before the divisions were restructured in 1992. However, big-money sales such as Romain Esse and Japhet Tanganga will have significantly increased the club's worth. Norwich City - £200m Carrow Road, Norwich City Although they are certainly not reflecting such a predicted value this season, AI believes that Norwich City are worth £200m. This is down to multiple recent seasons in the Premier League despite being relegated, the hefty sums recouped on players such as Emi Buendia, Max Aarons and Jamal Lewis as well as strengthened broadcast revenues. Oxford United - £20m Kassam Stadium, Oxford United Meanwhile, Oxford United are valued at just £20m, according to AI. This is a rather unsurprising prediction, with the U's in the thick of just a second Championship campaign this century, whilst matchday revenue is limited due to the capacity of the Kassam Stadium, which they do not own. Portsmouth - £40m Fratton Park, Portsmouth Portsmouth are valued at £40m, says AI, with Pompey's resources also extremely limited in comparison to many Championship sides. As such, John Mousinho has had to source bargain transfers in the market to give the South Coast club the best possible chance of progressing forward. Preston North End - £40m Deepdale, Preston North End Similarly, AI values Preston North End at £40m. As such, this reflects a modest Championship club, which the Lilywhites have certainly become within the past decade, and they could potentially break into the play-offs for the first time since 2009 under Paul Heckingbottom. Queens Park Rangers - £50m Loftus Road, Queens Park Rangers Queens Park Rangers are valued at £50m, says ChatGPT. Being in a similar ballpark to the likes of Preston as a side with limited resources when it comes to transfer funds, the main reason for a slight upturn is reflective of the club's location, with West London known for extremely wealthy land. Sheffield United - £150m COH Sports, Sheffield United Sheffield United were acquired by COH Sports for £111m last December, and AI claims the Blades are worth £150m at present. Despite their wealth, it is fair to say that the American consortium haven't enjoyed the greatest first year at Bramall Lane, following up a play-off final defeat with several controversial on and off-pitch decisions, including being involved in potential merger talks with their cross-city rivals, Sheffield Wednesday. Sheffield Wednesday - £120m Hillsborough, Sheffield Wednesday The Owls are next up too, with AI making a rather outlandish claim that they are worth £120m. Wednesday are currently in administration whilst talk of a takeover continues to linger on in the background. AI references the capacity of Hillsborough as being a key player in such claims. However, the ground has caused all kinds of issues within the takeover process, as it is not owned by the club and is valued at far less than the £60m figure placed by former owner, Dejphon Chansiri. Southampton - £275m Southampton FC, St Mary's Stadium AI predicts that Southampton are worth £275m, despite being in the hands of under-fire ownership group, Sport Republic. A key reason behind such claims has been the club's previous ability to source talented players through their academy setup or elsewhere before selling them on for a major profit, which includes the likes of Virgil van Dijk, Gareth Bale, Luke Shaw and Theo Walcott. Stoke City - £100m Bet365 Stadium, Stoke City Stoke City continue to be bankrolled by the Coates family, who also own worldwide gambling company, Bet365. As such, a £100m valuation claim from AI is reflective of the strong commercial deals, which includes sponsorship of the stadium, which the Potters still receive, as well as strong gates on matchdays despite a recent on-pitch regression. Swansea City - £105m General view of the Swansea.Com Stadium AI believes Swansea City are worth slightly more at £105m. This is largely down to similar reasons to Stoke, with both clubs relegated from the Premier League in the same year. However, it is fair to say that the market value of several Swans players are fairly high, such as Adam Idah, who was a high-profile summer signing from Celtic. Watford - £120m Vicarage Road, Watford Despite being the subject of constant turnover, AI values Watford at £120m. Once again, the main factor behind such a claim is the Hornets' recent pedigree in the Premier League, which has seen them receive hundreds of millions of pounds' worth in TV and sponsorship deals, as well as the added bonus of strong gate receipts. West Bromwich Albion - £135m Shilen Patel AI believes West Bromwich Albion are worth £135m, two seasons on from Shilen Patel's takeover at The Hawthorns. It is fair to say that the Baggies are still undergoing a rebuilding process on and off the pitch, with AI citing reasons behind such a figure due to their recent pedigree as a Premier League club, although they are no longer receiving parachute payments. Wrexham - £250m Ryan Reynolds, Rob McElhenney Rather unsurprisingly, the algorithm finally believes that Wrexham are worth £250m under the ownership of Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney. The North Wales club has been transformed commercially under the American actors who took control for just £2m during the 2020/21 National League season, before embarking on a record-breaking feat of three straight promotions. However, decisions such as a Disney Plus docuseries have resulted in record-breaking levels of turnover, as well as attracting external investment from Apollo Sports Capital, who are the majority stakeholders in La Liga giants, Atlético Madrid.

Don't hold your breath! https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/news/local-news/major-new-roads-proposed-help-10701837 Major new roads proposed to help Leicestershire cope with housing increase Three new roads are on the cards Hannah Richardson Local Democracy Reporter 04:00, 13 Dec 2025 A lot of traffic on the freeway View Image Highways capacity is “no longer appropriate” to support expected population growth(Image: Jackyenjoyphotography via Getty Images) Multiple major new routes are on the cards for Leicestershire to help its roads cope with an increase in housing developments. Highways capacity is “no longer appropriate” to support expected population growth in the coming years, Leicestershire County Council has said. As such, “significant investment” will be needed to ensure the roads can cope with new housing developments, with the authority saying there is “no magic bullet” for meeting the increased need. The authority, which is responsible for managing the county’s roads, has put forward a number of proposals for relieving traffic pressure in key areas. These early plans have come forward in response to concerns from local communities, councillors and MPs. Among the projects being considered is a new route from the A47 East to a new potential new junction to the south of Junction 21 of the M1. This would be aimed at relieving pressure at the junction and in south Leicestershire, with officers labelling it “essential” to enable the delivery of the amount of housing and employment developments planned in the area and particularly in Blaby district. Dozens of new affordable Leicestershire homes near to M1 given the green light Full list of Leicestershire services to benefit from David Wilson Homes' £2m funding pot A second scheme on the cards is a new road around the Kibworth villages. Officers said early work suggests “a new road around the villages is the only solution to address the current traffic problems and suitably mitigate future growth”. Finally, the council is looking at bringing forward the long-touted Eastern District Distributor Road, originally intended to be built in the 1990s. The previous plan for the route would have seen it form part of the missing stretch of the A563 Outer District Distributor Road between the A47 East and A6 South. Officers said the scheme would look at how the route could address problems on the A6 corridor through Oadby and how it might be used to reduce traffic travelling on less suitable routes in the area. Officers have warned, however, that the “nature and scale” of the new transport infrastructure needed in Leicestershire is “not deliverable in the short-term”, with these projects being proposed as a longer-term solution to be brought forward over the “next decades. They added: “It is difficult to see how, in the shorter term, it will be possible to avoid continued further traffic impacts on local communities.” The county council is expecting the population of Leicestershire to increase by 23 per cent to 830,618 by 2043. A total of 5,892 new homes need to be built each year in Leicester and Leicestershire to meet Government-set targets. Councillor Adam Tilbury, Leicestershire County Council cabinet member for highways and transport, said “population growth brings challenges” and “demands” on transport systems, adding the council needed to “plan ahead”. He continued: “In order for our strategy to be a success, we need to work with districts and feed into their local planning policies. This is vital to ensure new homes and jobs come with the infrastructure communities both want and need. “Early work has highlighted some key schemes that we expect would make a difference to residents, and we hope that work to develop the strategy will go a long way to helping make these become a possibility.”

https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/marti-cifuentes-gives-michail-antonio-10702183 Marti Cifuentes gives Michail Antonio transfer update as free agent trains at Leicester City The 35-year-old is looking fit in training and could be offered a contract with the club as they seek to add more firepower and climb the Championship standings Jordan Blackwell 15:31, 12 Dec 2025 Leicester City could offer former West Ham striker Michail Antonio a route back into club football with manager Marti Cifuentes confident he has overcome the effects of his serious car accident last year. Free agent Antonio is training with City and could win a contract at the club as they seek to solve their striker woes. The 35-year-old has not played any senior club football in more than a year since breaking his leg in a serious road accident last December, having been released by the Hammers in the summer. But Cifuentes said he’s looking fit in training and spoke positively about the Jamaica international. James, Winks, Ramsey, Monga – Leicester City injury update for Ipswich clash Free agent striker training with Leicester City ahead of potential transfer He’s not going to be a surprise inclusion in the squad to face Ipswich on Saturday, but discussions are under way over whether City will offer him a deal. “He’s a player who’s got big experience in the Premier League,” Cifuentes said at his press conference on Friday afternoon. “He’s training with us at the moment and we’re having a look. “He’s a good football player. He comes from a period without a team, but he’s been training only a couple of days with us and he’s been looking good. He's a good lad to have around as well.” Asked if Antonio was showing any effects of last year’s car crash, Cifuentes said: “Not at all. He’s looking good in that sense. It would take some time (for match fitness) because he has been away for a long period. “It’s never easy. It doesn’t matter how hard you train, the level in games is different. But he’s looking good. “It’s something we’re discussing. We’re having a look and he’s happy to train with us. We'll see.” Ahead of the clash with Ipswich on Saturday, City’s three strikers – Jordan Ayew, Patson Daka and Julian Carranza – have scored just four goals between them, including two penalties, and more firepower could make a difference in their bid to climb the table. The match against the Tractor Boys will be Daka’s final game with the club before he links up with Zambia for the Africa Cup of Nations. If Zambia go all of the way, Daka will miss eight City matches.

Leicester Memories Graham Hulme · Old postcard view of the Church of St Mary de Castro and the Turret Gateway, early 1900s. The ruined Turret Gateway, sometimes referred to as Prince Rupert’s Gateway, was a defensive structure of Leicester Castle and was built about 1422-23 (the original Norman motte and bailey castle had been constructed at the site in about 1068 - the motte, or mound, still exists, though it was reduced in height around the early 1800s to form a bowling green on the top). The Turret Gateway gave access from the Newarke, an outer work of the castle built around 1330 by Henry, Earl of Lancaster, to the inner bailey where the castle’s historic great hall is still situated. The great hall was originally built about 1150 by Robert de Beaumont ‘le Bossu’, 2nd Earl of Leicester, and the Assize courts were held there from the 1270s. In addition, medieval English kings occasionally stayed at the castle and held their parliaments in the great hall. The area around the Newarke witnessed some fierce fighting during the Civil War siege of Leicester in May 1645. The attacking Royalist forces were commanded by Prince Rupert of the Rhine, nephew of King Charles I, and the gateway’s later name derives from this (though the name seems to have originally applied to another gateway nearby which no longer exists). When the Royalists finally broke through into Leicester a brutal house to house battle ensued as the Parliamentarian soldiers and also civilians of the town defended every street, refusing to surrender. Eventually they retreated to the High Cross to face a final Royalist onslaught. The King’s forces exacted a terrible price for this stubborn resistance, sacking the town. Hundreds of its defenders were slaughtered, men, women and children, and in the aftermath many were summarily executed. The Turret Gateway is associated with the legend of Black Annis, a terrifying blue-faced witch with iron claws. The hag reputedly haunts the gateway and old cellars of the castle, waiting to pounce on unwary passers-by during the midnight hours. The Norman church of St Mary de Castro dates back to around 1107 and was built by Robert de Beaumont, 1st Earl of Leicester, as a collegiate chapel of the castle. The church was extended around 1160-80 and in the 13th century a large south aisle and the tower were added. The spire is believed to have been constructed around 1400 but was rebuilt in 1783 and was dismantled in 2014 due to it becoming unsafe. The ivy clad building seen to the right of the gateway was originally a chantry house for two priests, founded by William Wyggeston (d. 1536) a rich wool merchant of Leicester who was thrice mayor of the town and four times mayor of Calais. He also founded the almshouse Wyggeston’s Hospital in 1513 and his statue features on Leicester Clock Tower. The Chantry House now forms part of the Newarke Houses Museum.

https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/jordan-james-injury-update-ipswich-10698798 Jordan James injury update for Ipswich clash after Leicester City midfielder's substitution The Wales international was taken off before the hour mark in City's 2-2 draw with Bristol City at Ashton Gate, where they gave up a two-goal half-time advantage Jordan Blackwell 11:14, 11 Dec 2025 Jordan James is battling to be fit to face Ipswich on Saturday after a groin injury saw him substituted in Leicester City’s 2-2 draw with Bristol City. James has just over 48 hours to recover before City host the promotion-chasing Tractor Boys, with manager Marti Cifuentes hopeful he will be able to include the loanee in his line-up. Cifuentes said that James had felt a problem in his groin at half-time. He came out for the second half to see if he could shake it off, but that wasn’t the case, the Welshman needing to subbed before the hour mark. “With JJ today we had to sub him because he was struggling at half-time,” Cifuentes said. Marti Cifuentes admits his half-time mantra is not getting through to Leicester City players Marti Cifuentes gives unconvincing answer on Harry Winks selection after Leicester City omission “We tried to see how it could go in the second half but it was not getting better. Having a game in 48 hours, it’s important to keep everybody available. “Hopefully (he’ll be okay to play on Saturday). He mentioned he was feeling it and it was not getting better. He’s a very important player for us.” With Aaron Ramsey and Boubakary Soumare injured, and with Harry Winks seemingly not being considered for selection, City are running low on midfielders. Following James’ withdrawal, Bobby De Cordova-Reid dropped into James’ box-to-box role, with Jordan Ayew taking over as the number 10. Later on, Hamza Choudhury took over from De Cordova-Reid with Bade Aluko brought on at right-back. Louis Page also got some minutes in midfield late on. Cifuentes said Winks will be available for selection for Saturday, but was unconvincing in his answer, and so the England midfielder may be left out for a third straight game. Ramsey is getting closer to a return from a hamstring injury suffered in October, but is not yet due back. When providing an update on Soumare at the start of the week, Cifuentes said the club were waiting for feedback on a knee issue.
