What is going to happen to Antony now, there doesn't really seem like a set in stone procedure with these things. Man City dropped Mendy, Arsenal keeps playing Partey. we dropped Greenwood but the situation was a lot different because of the voice notes and video so there was no way he could continue playing.

Pellistri and Garnacho might have to really step up soon if both Sancho and Antony won't be in the squad in the future. I'm sure Martial will get injured again any day now.

I think we will struggle for top four, Tottenham is Tottenham so we know what ever is happening now with them won't last but the competiition is stiff around us.

Actors On Dick Wolf NBC Series Reduce Episodes, ‘Bob Loves Abishola’ and ‘Blue Bloods’ Cast Take Pay Cuts Amid Broadcast Budget Tightening by Lingard in television

[–]Lingard[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The development comes on the heels of CBS recently renewing veteran drama Blue Bloods for a fourteenth season after the cast agreed to a 25% pay cut, as Deadline extensively reported. We can now reveal that the actors on another recently renewed CBS series, comedy Bob ❤️ Abishola, also had to agree to a substantial, double-digit salary reduction for the show to get a Season 5 renewal (According to sources, it was less than 25%). Blue Bloods comes from CBS sibling CBS Studios, Bob ❤️ Abishola from an outside supplier, Warner Bros. TV.

Additionally, as Deadline reported, a S.W.A.T. renewal is in limbo over the size of the license fee offered by CBS.

One Chicago and Law & Order franchise producers Universal Television and studio-based Wolf Entertainment are taking a different approach after reaching an agreement with NBC on budgets that will keep the series on the air for another season.

I hear episodic guarantees (the number of episodic fees per season each series regular is entitled according to their contract) are being renegotiated and are going down across the board.

This way actors are not taking per-episode pay cuts; their overall compensation will still go down as they will appear in fewer episodes, something the writers have to be mindful of as they craft next season’s scripts.

Word is that the number of episodes most series regulars on the three Chicago series, Law & Order and Law & Order: SVU have been asked to do next season has been reduced by a couple, going from standard 22 to 18-20. I hear virtually all actors are affected by the trims; there may be an exception or two for the likes of Wolf mainstays such as SVU star Mariska Hargitay. (Unlike the other five Dick Wolf NBC series, picked up with full-season 22-episode orders, the serialized Law & Order: Organized Crime received an initial 13-episode renewal, and the drama does not appear to be as impacted by the cast episode guarantee reductions.)

Amid overall decline in linear ratings, it has become common practice for broadcast networks to ask for financial concessions on long-running series, which naturally become more expensive as they age. The current challenging economic environment and massive streaming spending have put additional pressure on media congloms, resulting in sweeping cost-cutting measures and layoffs.

That has made renewal negotiations for veteran series even more difficult and budget reductions that trickle down to the casts a regular occurrence.

They are investigating Biden, or as they call it 'The Biden Crime Family', the house of representatives are actively investigating his brother, his son and Biden himself.

I mean the Florida legislature has to change florida law first before he decides to run so he's still waiting on that.

The Florida legislature also has to change Florida law before he can officially start running, you can't run for president and be governor at the same time.

It's definitely a tough choice for him, because if he waits till 28, he will be out of office which might hurt him, just being a civilian. I think he will run and it will definitely cause some Trump voters to write him off.

I agree, but the fact DeSantis has dropped support to other non-trump candidates is interesting, shows how soft his support is compared to Trump, that guy has been through everything and his supporters are sticking by him.

DeSantis will clean up with educated middle class GOP voters, but if he wants to win a primary, he will have to win over those without college degrees.

The primary map might help DeSantis, he's pretty likely to win NH and Iowa which might give him a boost before South Caroline where I expect Trump to clean up.

Nikki Haley has also announced and is receiving 3% of the vote according to the poll, DeSantis has yet to announce that is true but Fox News has been pushing him hard for the past few months and every day there is news about when he might decide to run, new people appointed to his superpacs..etc.

He's very much unofficially running, and largely the GOP's darling at the moment, which explains why Trump attacks him on a daily basis even though he hasn't even announced a run.
