Hope this is true!!!! Possible Translation: Tom Cleverley's agent talks up possibility of move to Everton to bolster his client's position in wage negotiations with Aston Villa.

What questions should he ask new signings then? "What do you think of the Gaza situation?" "Who is going to win The Great British Bake Off?" "Does God exist?" It's hardly odd that he asks them Villa/football related questions.

You obviously weren't around for legends like Steve Sims and Bernie Gallagher if Luna is the least able defender you have seen playing for us.

I have a sneaky feeling this one will happen and I hope it does.

You could have just stopped after the first sentence really!

Good. I think having legs should be a requirement for all players we sign.

Unless your hours were cut temporarily (i.e. you have been on Short Time and your contractual hours haven't changed) then your Statutory Redundancy Payment will be based on your reduced hours, I'm afraid. The rules about "a week's pay" are very complicated, I'm an employment lawyer but I have to check and recheck them myself quite often, but as a general rule if you have normal working hours and your pay does not vary with the amount of work done in those hours then you are entitled to be paid what you would be paid for the working week under the contract in force at the relevant time (i.e. now.) If your pay does vary e.g. because you get commission, overtime etc then the calculation is based on the average of the previous 12 weeks although then again there are quite complicated rules about which weeks count, If you get stuck you can always DM me and I can see whether I can help.

Because if you were talking to a "journalist" (I use that word in its loosest sense) about reducing the price you would tell them that if any buyer hangs on you will reduce it further in due course. That would make perfect sense.

Dunno about The Sunday's. But I would like to put something in The Saturday's. Well Una whatserface anyway Can't Be Sure, but hopefully Here's Where The Story Ends.

Not the end of the world. Honest lad but not a world beater. Good luck to him and thanks for his efforts in claret and blue.

Speaking as one myself, lawyers' websites are generally not much cop. By and large they are directed more towards impressing the competition than being useful to the public.

What if a new owner doesn't come? We just carry on without a manager? I would back Sid to get better results out of Lambert's players than Lambert himself. Really ? - He hasn't had great results with the youth this season, and is rumoured not to be interested in a full on management job. Great player as he was - I think if he was managing the first term next season - it would pretty much be a disaster - Not that we can put everything on him. I just don't he is the man to stop the rot. Sid has God-like status amongst Villa fans at the moment. He scored the first Villa goal I ever saw in the flesh, against the Blose in 1978. I wouldn't want to see that esteem tainted by people getting on his case because the first team wasn't performing under him. Probably best not to go there.

Playing for the Beacon Centre for the Blind against Aston Villa Old Stars at Hednesford Town on Sunday at 2.30 pm. You can pay on the door £5 for adults, £2 for kids. There's a family fun day which kicks off at 1.30 pm ahead of the game. I shall probably only get about 20 minutes if that because I'm a) old and crap.

Clearly cobblers because if there was a takeover all of the staff would transfer automatically under TUPE. TUPE? Yes. Without being too anal, the Transfer of Undertaking (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006. Ah thanks, as I'm not from UK I don't know english laws. Its all right - no-one in the UK understands TUPE, not even us lawyers.
