  1. The company I worked for went into administration and we TUPE'd over with all the assets. I'm also an accountant so have basic knowledge about this sort of thing.

    In a normal business the employees would be allowed to leave, however because football players have long contracts and the club holds their registration then that makes it a bit of a grey area. Technically if a player has 4 years left of their contract, then their notice period is also 4 years and they would have to work that period if they wanted to leave.

    What will be in the players favour is the fact we are likely to be relegated meaning that the players are now being offered (argubly) a different job as it's at a lower level to that they were previously employed to do.

    There has probably been nothing like this happen before so nobody knows who is correct, it will def take a court case to set a precedent going forward.

  2. If its the 21st then I will definitely do this, and two of my mates will as well. So put me down for three people!

    Can't get the sponsor form the now as I'm browsing using my mobile, but will have a look when I get to work.

  3. The ‘Chairman’s Choice’ ticket is set to go on sale on Monday March 7 and entitles the holder to entry to every Peterborough game in the 2011-12 season, a seat in the directors box for every home match, as well as many free pies as you can eat at each game.

    The ticket holder will also be invited to an away match as a guest of the director, plus will be guaranteed to meet the Peterborough squad.

    Most prestigious of all, the holder will also be awarded the title of ‘honorary president’.

    At £15,000 the ticket for the League One side is ten times more expensive than a season ticket for Real Madrid.

    Commenting on the unique ticket, a spokesman for Peterborough said: 'It is the first time we have done this. We had some seats left in the director's box so we decided to launch this ticket.

    'It is a lot of money and we have no idea what the response will be like, but it's something different so we hope people will go for it.'

    Peterborough are also offering a 'Lifetime' ticket which lasts for 75 years and can be passed onto family members in the event of the holder’s death.

    At £12,000 the ticket works out at just under £7 a game if the holder went to every single one of the 1,725 games over that time period.

  4. I think season ticket increases should be kept to a minimum (say £50 or 5%), and an additional scheme where fans can subscribe to a direct debit and receive additional incentives.

    My season ticket is approx £600 the now so would be happy to pay £650 next season. I would also happily pay £5/10 per month on top of that if it included one or two incentives.

  5. If we come out of this process with the debt taken care of then one could argue that he served a useful purpose. Be interesting to see how history judges him.

    I completely agree. If the big tax case goes against us, then the problems we have encountered this season would have been worth it to come out the other side debt free.
