It's time to let Eric ten Hag cook

So, Man United have chosen to stick with ten Hag.  The news that the Dutchman would remain at Old Trafford after he delivered back-to-back silverware following a barren six-year trophyless spell, was welcomed by many fans, myself included.  Less than a month on from his surprise FA Cup triumph, I say Erik ten Hag deserves some respect on his name. And I think even the naysayers will be glad to see some form of closure to the protracted saga of speculation over his future. It was wrong that when...

Lost Bob Marley Tapes to be auctioned

A cache of long-lost Bob Marley live recordings, which lay in a damp basement for 40 years, is to be auctioned after being restored. Experts predict the 10 two-inch ‘reel-to-reel’ 24 track analogue tapes could easily raise hundreds of thousands of pounds when collectors and fans worldwide start bidding as they go under the hammer. These iconic recordings were miraculously saved from destruction at a London refuse dump when they were discovered during a London hotel clearance – in the basement.

Man City eye one of the few summer transfers that would make them even stronger

Riyad Mahrez bid is one of the few players who could improve Man City According to reports in The Times, Manchester City are looking to revive their bid for Leicester winger, Riyad Mahrez. The Algerian ace, who was the PFA Player’s Player of the year 2015/6, has long been touted with a move away from the King Power stadium and has also been heavily linked with a move to Arsenal.

Could Crypto-currency Be Used To Restore Stability In Venezuela?

Venezuela has struggled in the post-Chavez era. The country has been in a rapid decline, a free-fall from being the wealthiest economy in South America to teetering on the edge of financial and social ruin. Over the last five years alone, Venezuelan currency, the bolivar, has lost 99.8% of its value. On December 7, Patricia Laya, the Bureau Chief of Venezuelan Bloomberg, tweeted that she had “spent around 20 minutes in line at the ATM this morning to get a maximum of 5,000 Bolivars. That’s arou

Manus Island: Broken Solution To Age-Old Problem

The Australian-run detention center on Manus Island was shut down on October 31, after it was declared illegal by Papua New Guniea court. Its short lifespan is a testament to the complexities of implementing a working policy that effectively deals with refugee and asylum seekers. “Any asylum seeker who arrives in Australia by boat will have no chance of being settled in Australia as refugees”. Such was the claim made by Kevin Rudd as Australian Prime Minister in July 2013 after negotiations bet

The Implications Of President Trump's Plan To Scrap The Iran Nuclear Deal

In October 2017, the White House made an announcement updating their position on the Iran Nuclear Deal. As part of the deal, the US is required to certify that Iran is in compliance with the terms of the agreement every 90 days. Despite President Donald Trump being a highly vocal critic of the Iran deal, going as far as calling it “one of the most incompetently drawn deals (he’s) ever seen,” up until October his administration had begrudgingly certified that Iran had been in ‘technical complianc
