"The panel also cast doubt on the supposed insulin poisonings, which were the foundation of the prosecution case. Jurors in Letby’s original trial were told that the insulin and c-peptide levels of two infants meant they must have been deliberately injected with insulin. Letby’s original legal team did not contest that claim, yet the jury was told that Letby was the only person who could have poisoned both babies.
A report by Prof Geoff Chase of the University of Canterbury in New Zealand, however, concluded that the two babies’ insulin and c-peptide levels were “typical” for babies of their age and that the tests the prosecution used were “not of forensic quality”. |

Probably not. It's depressing.
I hate modern coaches and what they're turning football into. It's the first time in 30+ years I'm giving serious consideration into not bothering any more.
And this isn't just a Swans thing in case anyone thinks it's down to petulance about how we're doing. I used to obsess over football. Soak it up. Watch any game I could. These days it's boring. Identikit teams trying to play in an identikit fashion. All trying to dominate possession and turn stats into performance instead of just trying to score more goals than whoever they're playing against. |

I don't want to hate on Coleman. I don't doubt the mans intentions, but if he can't see at this point that Williams is basically Diet Martin then there's not much more that can be done for him.
We need a new manager. ASAP. |

Lot of people previously desperate to see Letby executed who have gone very quiet. |

The fact that one of the "eminent subject matter experts" is the co-author of one of the studies that the prosecution used at the initial trial calling bullshit on the way that they used it speaks volumes.
From the outside looking in this conviction appears at best to no longer be beyond reasonable doubt, and at worst a horrendous farce. This is why a competent defence is so important, and it looks strongly like Letby didn't have one. [Post edited 5 Feb 7:39]

Pointless with Williams still here.
That's the change that needs to be made. We've already seen this season that the squad we have should be more than capable of a boring mid table finish. The halfwit we have in direct charge of them however clearly isn't and needs to be put out of his misery as soon as possible. |

Actually it took the Black Death to really raise the standard of living. Those who survived could charge greater prices for their services.
Basic economics. Increase demand or reduce supply, and prices rise. Do the opposite and both businesses and labour become poorer.
Now consider the impact of 10m additional bodies into the Labour market. And this is also part of the problem caused by the EU's freedom of movement in addition to migration from elsewhere. |

It's Labour. They'll put as much power as they can into the hands of the utility companies and then Nationalise them so they control it. To their very core they hate people having power over their own lives and property.
Employed by the state. Housed by the state. Fed by the state. Owned by the state. |

Or Martin and Southampton.
It makes sense really. Pointless bidding on a player/manager unless you know you can afford the total package. These days agreeing a price with the selling club seems almost like the last thing to be sorted.
The myth that no contact takes place before a bid is accepted is handy for all involved to avoid anarchy. |

I don't think Coventry have approached him out of the blue. I think the interest has been sought out by MG's agent as a result of the above.
As for him knowing what's on offer, that's pretty standard these days. Nobody pays anything but lip service to the tapping up rules. Everything is done through agents so the players can honestly say they've had no contact with the buying club. |

OK. Here's my theory based on what we know so far, what has happened in the past and what we know about the personalities involved. Possibly cobblers, maybe a hint of truth.
The players aren't happy with Wiliams. That much seems certain. So Grimes, in his capacity as "Captain", and as we know he has done before, has gone to Coleman to whinge about it.
Coleman, undoubtedly suffering from his own buyers remorse over Williams, facing the headache of finding a replacement during a transfer window and well aware that Grimes' griping was one of the reasons why we found ourselves in the position of needing to appoint him in the first place, has lost his temper and basically told Statty to shut up and play, to do what we're handsomely paying him to do.
Grimes has gone to the rest of the squad for support and found out that he is perhaps not as universally popular as he might have thought. Lots of them are new, many may be harbouring their own doubts as to whether a style of play that seems to have been custom designed to suit one man may not be ideal to make the best out of their own talents.
MG's agent suddenly finds himself with extra work to do. [Post edited 31 Jan 9:40]

I dunno. Buying a failing company that they have no expertise in running and then spending years and countless millions propping it up sounds like a very Welsh Government thing to do.

Decent Scrabble score too.
Apparently their owner has acknowledged that one "big name" will be leaving there this window. This one fits the bill both literally and in terms of stature. |

I guess it's not technically a recall if the dates are included in the initial agreement.
Something is ringing a bell somewhere where this has been done before, although I might be wrong. [Post edited 29 Jan 22:15]
