I feel Gillett has been one of the better and more consistent performers this year - my expectations are now so low that I'll take it.

Couldn't agree more, Ken.
I further want to call out the very poor remarks from Pep Guardiola - simply not good enough. I remember a time when the FA would charge managers for less.

That's it! You're a genius, Louise.
Man City, knowing that there is more than a prospect of Arsenal beating them to the EPL title, must have paid Trump a fist full of dollars to cause distractions on the world stage in order for the season not to be completed.
It's all Man City's fault. 😅

Ah here - Spurs are not going to get relegated - all joking aside. As for your CEO, he is competent and well respected in the game, as far as I know.
If Frank "divides the fans" as you suggest, I presume that means some Spurs fans support him?
As I say, I'm not a Spurs man, but I'm not having a go

It has been commented, Katie, that the US will end up defaulting anyway.
Sovereigns will be "invited" to exchange their existing holdings for (much) longer dated bills with little to no coupon, with some interest capitalised....a default in everything but name.

I didn't see any of the tournament, Glenn but I did keep an eye on the final.
Nothing you say surprises me as there have been certain questionable moments in previous AFCON.

Not disputing anything you say; his record is poor sofar, but to attribute this entirely to him, imo, is a little unfair at this stage.
Personally, I would be looking higher up first. I just don't get the sense that the owners know what they are doing. Everything else flows from there.
