Re: Vennells

She seems to be relying on the fact that she only knew about a couple of bugs and was reassured they were fixed, whilst at the same time believing she wasn't being given the full picture by those around her. Hmm. How anyone with any experience at all of working with new large IT systems could honest...

Vennells

Anyone else following this? Absolutely fascinating to see the (lack of) thought processes at the top of the Post Office on her watch. I struggle to understand how people like her get to the positions they're in with such negligible understanding of what they're in charge of. Also infuriating to see ...

Re: Hector gets a new contract offer

Glad to see that Hector is so appreciated at Peterborough United, far more so than when he was at the Os, many on this forum were overjoyed when we sold him on. Most People I know were in shock we got £300 grand for him. He is still a League One player and to my knowledge has won nothing. Well, apa...

Re: Save our Landlords

So ok, if o-no Jr's landlord sells up and the property isn't re-rented - maybe someone buys it to live in - then there is one less property available to rent and 5 people looking for somewhere to rent. The balance has changed. But the person who buys it to live in has left somewhere behind. O-no jn...

Re: Save our Landlords

I think you're wilfully misunderstanding. Clearly if a landlord sells up there are still the same number of actual buildings, but if that building is no longer available to rent then the supply of rentable properties has dropped. I think you're wilfully misunderstanding. The number of people and nu...

Re: Save our Landlords

So when the landlord sells up, where does the house disappear to ? The housing stock doesn’t change the housing stock available for rental But there's still the same number of people needing a home and the same number of houses. A landlord throwing his toys out of his pram and selling up doesn't ch...

Re: Save our Landlords

Having a decent supply of rental properties is essential though, but we need decent landlords too. O-no Jr has a room in a house with 4 others. If the landlord sells up that's 5 of them looking for affordable alternatives, it reduces the housing stock available for rental. He's 23 and doesn't earn ...

Re: 8444 - Highest average attendance since 73-74 season

Surely everyone knows by now that since Devlin became CEO these are ticket-sold figures not attendance figures. For the stadium announcer to state these on a weekly basis as the "attendance" isn't even disingenuous, it is a lie. All done to impress and attract potential advertisers, spons...

Re: Players who we don’t need any more

Story of O wrote: Tue Apr 02, 2024 8:05 am Maybe controversial, but Beckles. Seems to make more mistakes as he gets older.
Beckles' main problem is overplaying it.

Sounds harsh but I think he thinks he's better on the ball than he actually is.

If he sticks to the basics he's perfectly fine.

It's been an amazing season for sure, and I'm happy to think about what might have been but (there's always a but) I don't think we're ready for the next level yet at either a squad or organisational level. If we somehow fluked promotion via the playoffs, for all the excitement, I think we'd get hor...
