Ohhhh I think it's a lot more than 4, by now.
How long would The Argus last if they started charging for their, er, output.

Not seen such Bravery!
I don't have a Pay Wall when I look at the Argus. Sometimes a survey but there is always an option at the bottom of the survey to skip it.
Is it PotG?

If (Germany) beat us on Tuesday, Southgate would be in the hunt for a club job.
judging by the standard, that's about what they pay their 'journalists'
Lucien Favre is more proven and better for starters.

Let’s hope Spurs gazump Palace for Favre.
I hope he stays and think he will. But spurs don't need to approach the club at any point (other than for the need to keep a cordial relationship with a fellow PL club). Potter can quit anytime he likes, he has an employment contract. He'll have a notice period, which could be the full term of his contract, but if spurs pay up that contract he's gone. It's not like player agreements.
Do you think Brighton spoke to his reps before he joined?
Really hope all these stories are not true but the more it rumbles on the more uneasy I feel about it.

That's rather unfair. Staffing levels at local newspapers (including The Argus) have been cut drastically, particularly subbing desks. I believe that a lot of the Argus 'news' is generated from Southampton as there's no longer a fully staffed office in B&H.
About five years ago, there was a debate in the House about the implications of the loss of editorial jobs - 5000 journalists in five years. SInce then, there have been a few thousand more. They're not spending money on freelancers either (I spent five years as a freelance journalist and I know, oh, I know) and newspaper frequently fill pages with a lot of PR puff masquerading as 'news'.
But none of that is the fault of the journalists. I'm sure there are some poor quality ones there but the work levels are such that it's hard to tell - particularly with no subs to put things right.
It's a bit of diversion from the main theme - maybe the poor state of local newspapers deserves a thread of its own
GP is still not wearing a watch even as he listens to other clubs manager position offers.
It probably does, all the local rags have been slowly decimated. I've never been involved in newspapers, but have been involved with some magazines, they are all struggling and many of the journalists/photographers I worked with have given up, or at least ceased to rely on it for an income. As have I in my 'specialist' market business.
After all, why invest in expertise when you can read plenty of best guesses for free on the tinterweb.
I just can't see it. Why would he want to openly be the 15th choice or whatever he is for the Spurs job? He'd be on to a loser before he starts.
And his stock is on the up, with one more good season with us, he would have better jobs available to him next summer with bigger clubs. Spurs are a bit of a mess at the moment and need a proper rebuild, it's a big job that he probably wouldn't be given the time to carry out if a few results don't go his way. I think he'd be mad to go there at the moment.

To quote Donald Rumsfeld... There are known knowns. These are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we don't know we don't know.
Brighton & Hove Albion under Tony Bloom appears to mostly operate under the last two sentences - and that's probably true of most of the professional commentators and pundits that report on the club, let alone the army of ITKs that populate social media. And it's all fine because that's the way of the digital world.

First we had Hughton who some people obviously thought he should have spelt it Houghton, now we have Connolly, who people think should have an 'e' instead of the second 'o'. It's like Albion always have to have someone whose name some people will never learn how to spell! Who's next if Connolly moves on in the summer? 'Lampty' perhaps?
