@business So the employee pays for their own facilities, electricity, water etc whilst the employer makes a saving on providing office space & facilities, but the employee should pay extra for that? This seems to be the conclusion of the strategists after their navel gazing. Nonsense.

@GFFN Because as corrupt as FIFA remain, they've banned his activities before & are looking to do some good to limit the role of agents which would reduce Raiola's earning potential. It's all about greed & retribution for Raiola. He's not interested in improving football governance.

One thing I learned from the Athletic article on Blues today is that Harlee Dean is on £23k per week, so we are covering some of his wages at Sheff Wed. And that Maxime Colin is on even more. Dates back to the splurge of 2017. Plus Roberts & Friend took pay cuts to renew. #BCFC

@martynziegler If they want to be in a closed super league that ignores sporting merit, then they can sod off & do so. But they can't expect to play in the domestic league nor allowed back if it doesn't work out. Chuck them out the league and let them get on with it. Bored with their threats.

Paul Cook was some fans' choice for Blues' next manager when Karanka was in position. I think he's a decent manager & wouldn't have minded him. But he's had a slow start at Ipswich, winning just 2 of 10 games in League One. I think we've found a better fit for us with Lee Bowyer.

@adamsummerton In Italy (e.g.Serie B) if the gap between the top team in the playoff spots & the rest is 15 points or more they promote them automatically & don't bother with the lottery of the playoffs. Less fun maybe but perhaps fairer & feels like that could be worthy of future consideration
