Another player badly advised by his pound signs in eyes agent.

They really should think these things through properly before going public.

This 'gentleman's agreement' he alegedly had with Levy about being allowed to leave if a 'bigger' club came in for him, was around the same time he signed a new 6 year contract...why didn't he have it written into the new contract at the time...doh!

Right, I'm going to give this thread another go...


RE: Scholes, I'm no fan of his club, and don't know much about the man, but a bloody good player! Best of luck to him.


Couldn't tackle for shit though.


Am excited about this season, think Liverpool should be back in the top 4 mix, and play some exciting stuff...


I admit I wasn't sure about Kenny for the long term, but like what he has done so far, and hope he proves me wrong. He certainly seems to be looking ahead.


I think Chelsea might struggle, but I've said that before, and they've kept going, so who knows. Arsenal will have another season of nearlys.


Championship looks very interesting this season too.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
