Branston Pickle 3,656 Posted August 6, 2015 Nothing at all wrong in getting the ''business'' side of things sorted - there''s plenty on here willing to get the knives out if they think we''re missing out. The playing side is ok and entirely separate. Yes, we maybe need a few tweaks but surely people can see that a) there''s nearly 4 weeks of the window left and b) it can take time to sort these things - we are talking about players worth £multi-millions, we''re not just going down to B&Q to buy a tin of paint!

Syteanric 1 Posted August 6, 2015 ahh "Apprenticeships" a way to pay young people less than minimum wage to get rid of them after a year...as long as it hits the governments "people in employment" figures no one cares.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lewis Esquire 0 Posted August 6, 2015 I''ll second that apprentice skepticism.I left my old job last year, and they have put an untrained apprentice in my old seat. he is getting paid a third less than me and barely gets minimum wage. Most employers are abusing the cheap workers, as some most of their wages are covered by the government. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Syteanric 1 Posted August 6, 2015 exactly that Lewis...younger people today get sold on a dream, some even give up college to do the apprenticeship...Government and media bleat on about them but have a look at what they offer and what actually happens...it''s a con to hit numbers... of course employers love it... do we pay an experienced old head 20 grand a year to do the same old or do we make an empty promise to a 19 year old for £3 an hour?
