Marco Silva Tapping Up Complaint

The most worrying thing is when you start to look at clubs that have not been relegated it seems the winners are Celtic followed by Aberdeen - aaaaaarrrrrggggghhhhhh - both Scottish !!! (they are in Britain - but I expect BP's definition would start with biggest in England means biggest in Britain"

 

Even Alex couldn't crack Everton...

 

Watford is the biggest club in Watford. FACT.

 

You lack ambition. We are that. We are also the biggest club in Hertfordshire. We are also the biggest non-London club in London.

 

Not actually true, if we are using Everton's method of calculating massiveness.

In 1487 there were a series of games staged that involved Goode Watford Knights of the Realm getting a pigs bladder to St Albans.

The opponents were from the plague infested town of Lutyn-in-the-Mire.

The attendance was reportedly 92,367 goode souls.

 

Watford Ladies won more recently than us.

We are tinpot in even our home town.

 

what about scousers though?

 

Forgive him - he is still stunned that with the return of Tranmere, Everton are back to being the 4th largest side on merseyside

 

I was drunk last night, but it seems I was busy. Hope I've saved the log in details somewhere because this still has mileage in it.

 

This is an intra-club dispute though, so the PL are a neutral party to any complaint. Them taking it seriously or not doesn't come into it. If Watford believe Everton tapped up Silva and thereby breached PL rules the initiative for any action lies with Watford. The PL aren't going to do it for us.

If Southampton were satisfied with an apology from Liverpool then that was that. Having them on the record admitting inappropriate behaviour is valuable in itself and equally damaging to Liverpool. I suspect Liverpool sweetened the eventual transfer deal too anyway.

PL rules require clubs to go through arbitration to settle a dispute. Watford would be in breach of the rules if they didn't and instead went straight to the High Court. And Watford can't then start further court action once the arbitration process is over if they want extra compensation, unless they have grounds to say something was procedurally wrong with the tribunal decision or it misapplied the law. You can't have two bites of the cherry.

 

How many of those were ar-souls from Lutyn-in-the-Mire?

 

All 367 of them

 

Def top 2 (with Barnet’s unfortunate relegation).

 

Maybe but I prefer a Pimm's Royale: one measure of Pimms (ps make your own: 2 parts gin, 2 parts red vermouth and 1 part orange curacao), one measure of triple sec (Cointreau is perfectly acceptable) poured over ice/garnish and topped up with ginger ale. Sever with a reasonably "robust" straw (so you can pick out all the fruity goodies).

Do not plant borage in your garden (only in pots) unless you want a garden full of triffids with a couple of years.

 

Thanks. I didn't know if anyone would agree with me but you seem to have grasped it more or less.

If Gino thinks the PL got it wrong, he will take it further.

 

Don’t tell anybody I don’t want to be a traitor but we have a guy called holebas , one of the best at what he does in the league - you should def buy him - would be a snip at 70m. He would def entertain at goodison

 

Now read the whole discussion

To summarise

Silva is a **** and hopefully he will be tapped up by a big club while at Everton

Evertonians are dilusional clinging on to past glory

The top x is as many clubs as it really is plus Everton

Our friend from Everton’s main reason for being on here is his own forum is ****

Our friend from Everton main assertion is that Everton are a great club (assume he is taking the piss) and is mistaking the fact that we havnt banned him yet as some strange form of interest (bit like watching a car crash).

Let’s be honest I couldn’t give a **** if Everton existed / went bankrupt / qualified for Europe / relegated to the championship - they are in the same league as Leeds, Aston Villa , Nottingham Forrest, once great - now not so much

 

Indeed. But it's not so much the PL getting it wrong as an independent arbitration tribunal which he'll have nominated a panel member to.

 

Slightly off topic, and involves the other half of the city - but the word "hypocrisy" springs to mind. Must be something about the place up there, where you're allowed to break the rules but god forbid anybody else does............

"...are convinced Borussia have tapped up Brewster by speaking to him without permission and are considering making a complaint to Fifa"

"...are infuriated by the way the Bundesliga club have behaved and have taken what they consider appropriate action, with the possibility of more to come"

"...Liverpool's indignation is evidence of how highly they rate Brewster"

 

And when Alexander gazed upon the breadth of his domain he wept, for there were no more worlds to conquer

How many people died from these 3 events? Answers in Latin please, otherwise it’s a fail for your poor kids .....

 

This is not strictly true. In English law you can go to litigation without submitting to arbitration first. However the court can take into account a failure to follow process. This means you could win but only receive nominal damages or more likely not receive costs against the other party. All of this carries higher risk and is probably not a preferred option in this case even though Watford allege a fundamental breach of contract.

 

Pre court protocols. Not structly arbitration, but showing that an attempt has been made to settle the matter mutually. Can just consist of a letter and a response, but if you show yourself unwilling to accept that you have done damages, or if you are seen to be persuing unreasonable damages, it may go against you. If you get to court, there should be good grounds for the disagreement. Otherwise the court may feel its time has been wasted, and even if you win your case, you may find yourself ordered to pay legal costs for both sides because the court beleived you should have accepted a pre court settlement.

I assume UEA is talking about PL requirements though, rather than judicial requirements, because that is what we were talking about.

 

BH!

Pimms is a TM owned by Diageo. No one else can make Pimms.

If I recall, you are a medic.

This is the equivalent to advocating auto appendicectomy.

 

Intriguing q & it does make you wonder why the HH24 brood are studying GCSE Death.

I vote for the Black Death. It recurred for generations & the 1340s edition took out a third of the population across much of Europe.

The other two rather grim own goals by humanity.

 

Death or cake?

 

Surely cake is preferable to death.

Eg cake walk, death march.

 

The Black Death was indeed a terrible thing. The Blue Plague, however, which came much later, just left people feeling mildly irritated, albeit thankful for the lives they had.

 

I prefer March - it is when my birthday is.

 

*fixed*

One the reasons I started to "make my own" was after clearing out my late grandmother's house. We found an unopened bottle of Pimm's (TM) (C) (WTF) from, I *think*, the 50's that was 35% ABV - today's stuff is a paltry 25% ABV - that's taking the p1$$.

In fact the summer tipple of choice chez 'Wood is "Slimms*" (C) (TM) Bwood_Horn's Unicorn Farm (dolphin porn & knock-off drinks) LLP. I make quite a bit of sloe gin (I've got recently into making Patxaran which is more to my tastes) -BUT I'm not actually that keen on it. But I use the steeped berries to make "slyder" (served hot 'n' mulled during cold times), "slerry" and white "splort".

*2 Parts sloe gin, 2 parts dry vermouth and 1 part orange curacao - again usually served as a Slimms Royale.

EDIT: Can I also point out that operating on yourself actually isn't against the law if that's the only thing holding you back from trying it out.

 

It very much seems that the Hull City draft contract is a complete red herring if it came after their relegation. The core of Gino's argument surely relates to the integrity of the competition being affected, something Everton potentially did by contacting Silva mid-season. How did they find out? Obviously from Silva or his agent. However I doubt his lawyers would support such a disclosure if employment proceedings are already underway with WFC. If anything it has the side-effect of showing he is someone who is willing to look outside his contract.
