As is the criticism of a manager working for free.

You know he's not working for free right?

You can’t leave me dangling when I am heading to Glasgow. Enlighten me please.

He's may be deferring any wages for now but you can be sure that he will join the queue as a creditor when we go into admin like everyone else we owe money to. He will then likely try and get as big a sum of monies as he can back from us which will be determined by the administrator.

Or, less likely, if we somehow get bought over he will get his full salary back and whatever else he may have deferred in the interim period.

Not a bad result/ performance against a championship team, 3rd in the league, with a game in hand that a win would take them to second and firm favourites for promotion.

livi second goal was a big error for us when Duffy was either bullied too easily, ducked out of the headed clearance or got a shout to leave the ball, Dunc fault of course.

anyway off now to Hampden to watch Portugal.

kids are excited to be watching CR 07 live, hope he plays.

If Ferguson really wanted to help the club out he'd quit. Working for free does not entitle him to be free of criticism. We'd be better with a cheap semi competent manager than a (temporarily) free, terrible one. 

I didn't expect we'd take much from the Livi game so to take it to penalties isn't terrible imo. What's awful is Ferguson's repetitive excuses. If it's not the young players, it's the referee's, if it's not the referee, it's the pitch. How does an astro affect a professional footballers ability to convert a penalty I wonder? 

Anyway I'm off to see if the Scotland game is on at the bar in my hotel here in Turkey. Fingers crossed they don't, not sure I can take more dissapointment

I thought it was Davidson at first but @ymip assured me it was Duffy. I thought he’d be more suited to Lge 1 but he still seems to have a mistake in him. Davidson looks not bad though - I wouldn’t have said that a year ago. But we’re much poorer without Devine.

Not been back to see Scotland since the downpour v Georgia. I did see CR7 with the missus in 2018 at the Bernabeu when he was still a nipper and he scored 4 in a 6-3 win against Girona.

Wow, thought you had a scoop for us, but no just your thoughts on dunc.

Is he claiming back this also do you think.....

Already mentioned in the Next manager thread. 

Why is he paying petrol costs anyway? Makes little sense.

Just looking out for his players it seems. Good on him

Maybe you misunderstood my point. Why would the club be paying for players petrol anyway? They get a minibus to training from the stadium and a coach to away games so where does the fuel costs come in? All staff are still being paid are they not? Or is it standard for clubs to pay for all players fuel?

When I used to work (in IT), if you were payed expenses for travel to your normal place of work, then HMRC would treat that as a taxable benefit - ie an additional part of your income.

Used to cause problems with long-term assignments, either when people were assigned to work on another site for a long time, or when they ended up working there for longer than originally planned.  HMRC would claim that this site was now their "normal place of work".  I think it was after two years that this was triggered.

It's been a while, but I can't imagine that the rules have changed, nor that the rules are different for footballers.
