Thailand’s situation isn’t that audible to the West but I’m sure if it was, the impression wouldn’t be so good Reading up on the recent and past situation is interesting. The economist writes about a potential return to absolute monarchy, In political, financial and military matters King Vajiralongkorn has gained powers never possessed by his father.

Whilst these things are technically true and East Manchester certainly isn't as horrendous as it used to be, they have built many apartment buildings that don't exactly fall into the 'affordable housing' category, which as you can imagine has caused its own problems. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, wasn't the overhaul of East Manchester down to the 2002 Commonwealth Games as much as anything? Regeneration that included the building the CoM Stadium before Man City took it over? Whilst they helped and built the Etihad Campus, it's not as if East Manc was a baron wasteland when the owners got involved. It had already had serious investment from the council and Central Government at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingsX Posted 28 March 2022 Share Posted 28 March 2022 New piece in the Athletic speculating Kane will be off to Man United this summer. - Cannot see Cavani, Martial, Rashford, Greenwood as adequate attacking options going forward. Ronaldo is icing on a non-existent cake (but wants to stay). - Haaland most likely to end up at Man City. So United will need a statement signing and shirt seller. - Levy will cash in with 2 years left on Kane's contract. - Jorge Mendes working "on his own accord" to sound out leading strikers in Europe, especially Darwin Nunez, about moving to United to play 2 up top with his client. https://theathletic.com/3212020/2022/03/28/manchester-united-harry-kane-search-striker-summer/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won’t hard ball on price like Manchester City so will likely play over the odds. Could easily still squeeze that £100 million touted last summer out of United, if not more.

Popular Post Super_horns Posted 29 March 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 29 March 2022 (edited) Refs to train with clubs next season as suggested by Ralf Rangnick. Not sure how that will go down Just thinking of the outcry from a team if a ref gives a decision against them for a club they had been training with. And don't think relations are really going to improve in the heat of a match - players are still going argue decisions and influence officials. Not going to stop them making errors either. https://talksport.com/football/1074288/referees-could-training-premier-league-clubs-next-season-manchester-united-ralf-rangnick-pgmol/ Edited 29 March 2022 by Super_horns 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the respect rugby refs are shown, as far as I am aware they do not train with club teams. Just my take on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In rugby the refs don't seem afraid to punish forms of dissent and everyone can hear what is being said by both them and the player which helps any understanding of a decision. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah its honestly so refreshing hearing and seeing rugby refs officiate games sometimes. The refs earn the respect of the players and visa versa, just not something we see/will ever see in football IMO, go to your local Sunday league u16 game for example and see how the refs are spoken to by parents, coaches and players, the issue goes as lot deeper than at a professional level imo 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
