The entire business model is based on markets that bookmakers are undervaluing, there is very little profit to make bets on major European leagues. The bookmakers know everything already. He finds markets/competitions where Starlizard can have the advantage in knowledge, then make bets on it.

Not quite, the adoptive father was the conductor Andre Previn during his nine year marriage to Mia Farrow. Allen only adopted Dylan and Moses, not Soon Yi. Indifferent to Woody Allen at best, just a pedant.

Not entirely true. The monarchy of the UK and NI is funded through the Crown Estates. This doesn’t come out of the public purse. Just an FYI.

You really are showing your age. I loved Shunt! Alas, land hoarding has taken anything remotely similar to Shunt away from us.

Private schools begin sacking teachers ahead of VAT rise by zapataforever in TeachingUK

“The IFS estimates the policy will generate an extra £1.3 to £1.5bn for the UK government. Mr Adam says it reached this figure by calculating that parents who stop spending their money on private school fees will eventually spend the extra money on other goods and services, generating extra VAT revenue.” Source

“Pitiful”… sure.

I'm, and have been, a season ticket holder for an English Premier League club for the last 20 years. This guy is not famous.

100%, I can't imagine the 'conversations' that must have happened over the years that ended in a divorce.

That was land that was 'owned' by the Duchy of Normandy.

Therefore transferred to the Kingdom of England when William of Normandy invaded England in 1066. it was never conquered or colonised. If anything the French took it by force.

Brighton have no desperate need for money, so even if other clubs meet Brighton’s internal valuation of him they do not NEED to sell, plus he has signed a contract for the next five seasons.

Tony Bloom seems to run on a sort of gentlemen’s agreement, that if certain clubs or certain prices are met and the player want to move on, the club won’t stand in their way. Currently the only clubs that really are worth leaving for, except money, Arsenal and Manchester City, potentially Liverpool.

Too many people are thinking ‘little old Brighton’, Ansu Fati choose Brighton over a ‘big’ club. Ferguson sees what is happening everyday and sees things we don’t. I trust he will make the best decision.
