Is there any truth that the non-playing staff have been told to reapply for their jobs? Does anyone here work for the club?

Is this the football support staff side?
Would be usual if it is...
For what reason?

I'd have thought they were on season long contracts.
My mate's a steward and I'm sure he has to re apply each season. I'll have to ask him

We all know that Lambert and Faulkner are off to New York this week to see Randy. Randy owns a restaurant there and it's closed on Friday for a 'private dinner reception'.
Now you don't close a whole restaurant just to treat a couple of employees to a meal. Or do you?

Blimey, that place is way out on Long Island.

My ITK is telling me that Oscar winner, Sam Mendes and the cast of King Lear from the National Theatre have the place booked out. They're performing on the Saturday at somewhere local called the Guild Hall.

Lads,

Heard the buyer is on his way over in the next few weeks which is promising.

Heard he wants a big marque signing to show rest league what we are all about.

Short but impressive wine list - let's hope his guests appreciate fine wine.
The Pommard 2009 @ $220 would be just about ready to drink by now. Let's say you tried to decided to have that and then tried to pair it with some food from their dinner menu:

"Er. I'll have the roast beets and she-who-must-be-obeyed will have the chicken soup followed by steak au poivre, no, hang on, the pork chop and spag bol for me."

I'd just have the wine.

I've a mate with the surname Marque. He's not big though, so it can't be him.

the only thing missing from London Boy's intelligence(s) is 'bants'. As soon as one of LB's posts contains the word 'bants', for me, all credibility as an ITK is gone.

You can get better wines in Lidl.

Speaking of 'bants' something that was retweeted on Twitter caught my eye and caused me to look at the profile of the original poster. His tweets were full of 'great bants mate' etc, turns out had had something to do with Soccer AM. No surprises there.
