What Khay said.

Chelsea are set to make a major addition to Jose Mourinho's backroom staff with the recruitment of the former Bolton Wanderers performance director Mike Forde, a highly regarded figure within the game, who would adopt a similar position at Stamford Bridge. Forde had been expected to rejoin his former manager at Bolton, Sam Allardyce, at Newcastle United only for the two clubs to fail to agree a compensation package to prise him from his rolling contract at the Reebok Stadium. That has alerted the Chelsea chief executive, Peter Kenyon, who is confident a deal can be reached with the Wanderers' chairman, Phil Gartside. Talks are going on between the clubs and, should a deal be struck, Forde would be expected to take up his new duties in London before the end of the month. He would join a backroom staff which includes Frank Arnesen, the chief scout and head of youth development, and the recently appointed director of football, Avram Grant. However, the 32-year-old's involvement is unlikely to unsettle the manager, Jose Mourinho, in the same way that Grant's appointment did when it was first mooted in the new year, with Forde's role very much geared towards off-the-pitch matters. Chelsea's owner, Roman Abramovich, has adopted a policy of seeking the best off-field backroom team possible to match the side he has seen Mourinho build and both he and Kenyon have been impressed with the impact made by Forde, whose background is in sports science and psychology, over his eight-year spell at the Reebok. During that time his job effectively entailed scouring the globe for innovations that could be deemed relevant to life at the club, whether those techniques were centred on IT, scouting, psychology or people management. As a senior member of a backroom staff that was 21-strong last season - a department that covered everything from coaching, medicine, sports science, performance analysis and administrative support - he also built up significant links with leading American sports franchises from NFL to NBA. Similarly he spent time with the All Blacks and the former formula one team British American Racing as well as consulting the statistical analysts at the Boston Red Sox. Indeed, with Forde having played his part with Allardyce in hoisting Bolton from the Championship into Uefa Cup qualifiers, leading foreign clubs - from Australian rules teams to the NBA's LA Lakers - visited Wanderers to observe the techniques encouraged and nurtured by Forde. "In any leading business there's always someone whose job is to pinpoint what's around the corner because what was extraordinary yesterday is very ordinary tomorrow," said Forde in an interview with the Guardian earlier this year, with his role having been very much aimed at giving Bolton any competitive edge that was possible. Gartside had moved to keep his performance director at the Reebok in the wake of Allardyce's departure to Newcastle by offering him a new contract and position as general manager, though he instead opted to seek a new challenge. To that end he has been on gardening leave since resigning his post earlier in the summer. That period should end once Chelsea reach an agreement with the Bolton chairman, allowing Forde to take up his new position in west London. Mourinho had initially been resistant to Grant's appointment when it was first suggested by Abramovich back in January, though he has accepted that the Israeli will make his life "easier" now that he has joined the club. The 51-year-old reports to Kenyon with his duties nominally to liaise on and coordinate footballing matters across Chelsea's interests. "His job, in general terms, is to help people in different areas in the club," said Mourinho during the club's recent pre-season tour of the United States. "I am happy to have him in our structure and, if I say I am happy, then I am happy. If I wasn't, then you would see me around the corner snarling."

Author Stephen King was mistaken for a vandal when he started signing books during an unannounced visit to a shop in Australia, according to local media. The Australian Broadcasting Corporation said staff at the Alice Springs book store did not initially realise the writer was autographing his own novels. Bookshop manager Bev Ellis said: "When you see someone writing in one of your books you get a bit toey [nervous]. "We immediately ran to the books and lo and behold, there was the signature." Ms Ellis later approached the author at a nearby supermarket and said he was "very nice, charming". "Well, if we knew you were coming we would have baked you a cake," she told the writer. 'Embarrassing' The prolific author, best known for works such as Carrie, The Shining and Misery, signed six books including his most recent novel, Lisey's Story. Most of the books will be given to local charities, though one was purchased by a customer who was in the store with King. Ms Ellis added that it was common for authors to visit the shop, check if their books are on the shelves and sign some copies. "If they're not on the shelves, they'll ask about them. It's embarrassing if we haven't got their work," she said. King's representative in Australia told the media he was unaware the author was in the country.

Good, glad the parasite as gone, only a moment of time before the prick breaks down again.

I've subscribed, the coverage isn't exactly upthere with SKY and it means I'm shelling out even more for Satelite TV but I do feel that my £9.99 a month is two fingers up at SKY and will encourage SKY to become more competitive.

The Independent Dyer heads south after West Ham's £7m offer is accepted By Michael Walker Published: 16 August 2007 Kieron Dyer's on-off move from Newcastle to West Ham is expected to be completed within the next 48 hours, Newcastle having accepted an improved £7m bid from the London club. The clubs had previously agreed a £6m fee only for Newcastle to raise their demand by £2m at the last minute and it now seems a compromise has been reached. Dyer was due to be on his way to London last night, even though yesterday morning the 28-year-old midfielder featured in a behind-closed-doors game at Newcastle's training ground against Gretna that was arranged to aid Michael Owen's return to full fitness. Dyer looked sharp and enthusiastic during Newcastle's friendly against Blue Star on Monday night and, as he passed a West Ham medical last week, which included a blood test because of Dyer's medical history, he could be thrust into the West Ham midfield for their game at Birmingham City on Saturday. Dyer's match fitness will also be of interest to the England manager, Steve McClaren. Dyer is expected to be named in the squad for next week's friendly against Germany and is considered by McClaren to be one of the players who can play behind a main striker in a role comparable to Wayne Rooney. Dyer will become the second Newcastle midfielder to join West Ham this summer, Scott Parker having left St James' Park for £7m as well. It is anticipated that Sam Allardyce, the Newcastle manager, will use the incoming money to strengthen before the transfer window closes with Allardyce adamant that he still wants more defenders. Bolton's Abdoulaye Faye is one of those at the top of the list. l Millwall have been handed a £30,000 fine by the Football Association after their players failed to improve their disciplinary record. The fine was imposed after the club failed "to show an acceptable improvement in its disciplinary record" and for a "poor record of misconduct" last season. Millwall were given a further suspended £30,000 fine, which will be imposed should their disciplinary record not improve this season.

I've had to opt back in recently due to my company pension being frozen due to the company having been sold, I've now signed up for a new pension with the new company that requires me to opt back in, this means my contributions are higher but pay less NI.

West Ham reopen talks over Dyer Times Online Kieron Dyer’s move from Newcastle United to West Ham United is back on after talks between the two clubs reopened. The England midfielder was on the point of being transferred two weeks ago when Newcastle upped the price by £2 million, saying they had initially under-valued the player. West Ham had agreed a fee of £5 million up front for the 28-year-old with a further £1 million depending on appearances and refused to increase their offer. It is understood that fresh talks have taken place within the last 24 hours and that both clubs are keen to revive the deal, possibly with West Ham offering to pay the whole £6 million up front for the attacking midfielder. Newcastle are still hoping they can get closer to their ’revaluation’ of £8 million. Dyer has wanted to move back to his home town of Ipswich, which is 45 minutes from West Ham’s training ground and where his children live. Sam Allardyce, the Newcastle manager, has made it clear that Dyer is surplus to requirements and the fee would generate more transfer cash for the former Bolton manager, who has been linked today with a move for one of his former players, Senegalese central defender Abdoulaye Faye.
