Ohh. I didn't know there was a trailing one.

Na the driver kill them then.

This is for those who always drive without a Driver's license. This guy is most likely going to do decades in prison.
The question is why would the driver try to overtake instead of maintaining contact with the trailing vehicle. . . which brings the possibility that it was blown tire that dragged them that wide of the road

Is it possible that Joshua didn't have a lead vehicle?

No security? I doubt

Very possible there was a lead vehicle, but maybe na Police (which they have been banned from escorting VIPs), so it's better to die that part of the matter down
He had a trailing vehicle which was Police so no need hiding the presence of a lead vehicle

BlueRayDick:
How did Anthony Joshua end up in an SUV driven by somone without a valid drivers' license? Like how?

Did they just hop into a random car rental without doing due diligence?

Even ordinary Nigerians don't employ drivers without Drivers license to drive them, not to talk of a superstar like AJ who should care more about his safety
It's his usual driver. It's any anyhowness of the average Nigerian

Joshua is not well versed in how to move in Nigeria hence the useless driver and lack of lead vehicle in his convoy. Lead vehicle would have controlled the movement of the main vehicle. I don't even know why the driver seemingly tried to overtake, he should be maintaining contact with the trailing security vehicle, which is why blown tyre is a possibility

Without DOGE how much would it have been? If we had continued with the pre Trump/Pre DOGE spending levels what would it have been?

That DOGE savings is a drop in a bucket of spending we have accumulated in the debt over the years
DOGE said it would save $2trln

Result done come out and you are speaking English

That is why Trump is trying to force down interest rates to refinance the debt at a lower rate. Currently the US pays about 1 trillion in debt financing per year
Interest was $900bln in 2024, only $100bln different

DOGE said it saved $2trln

The US economy is designed to run deficits exponentially. DOGE is still cutting wasteful contracts but not enough to reduce the debt
If Kamala had won the debt would be much more.
This is Government spending bozo, not deficit

You claim you are cutting waste yet spending is higher than the wasteful people you took over from.

Common sense would have told you it would have been anywhere between 9 and 10 trillion if Doge was still sending money to LGBTQ communities in Afghanistan.
You must be very fewlish invoking common sense while making the least sense possible.

Where are the promised savings? You are telling me the deficit would have been worse, when you have made it worse than what you inherited. So the people funding "gay frogs research" are better financial stewards than you?

It's not everything you chook your Comproboko mouth.

nateevs:
I have several posts reiterating this point. He was simply a development manager looking after assets.

Anyone who didn't understand this framework just didn't pay attention. It was clear in the hire brief. The business model looks to employ someone who plugs completely into the board's recruitment plan at all levels.

The football manager will have no veto over purchase and sales of assets, but will be a positive promoter of the model by ensuring value retention in assets, considerably, at all times. This is why he needs to share minutes and manage players.

Considering the SOW, Maresca has been the best tool the board of clowns could find. Despite the constraints, he over-achieved.

All you needed was to see team setup against big teams, and how he tactically outclassed his peers time after time. Unshackled, we had a tactically astute and adaptive manager who knew football to the core. Those who know know.

No respectable manager will continue indefinitely with such technical constraints. It might work for a season.... once you win something, you expect more power over your squad. If you don't get it, and you won't with this clown board, it ends just like this.
He was the best they could get that could play highly rotational football and still maintain a modicum of success despite disrupting the team personnel every eke market day and every 60 minutes mark

At the halfway stage, Ipukulu sits atop the league and is the winner of the Torneo Apertura. Ibime Ayapripri Jack-Daniel remains determined to win the Torneo Clausura also, finishing the season as overall champion for the 3rd time, an unprecedented feat in FPL history.

Ibime Ayapripri and OAM4J are tied with 2 league titles each and a 3rd title will cement Ibimes status as the ETERNAL FPL GOAT although that is not in doubt given his 5 FA Cup wins and 2 league titles.

Raumdeuter, do you care to point out the impact of DOGE on National spending, past the soundbites about Colombian bellydancers and gay Sri-Lankan frogs.


Ibime:
The DOGE thing is just political opportunism and sensationalism to make political capital out of the norms of US spending for decades. Most of it is sensationalism to win voters just like Elon shouting about 130 year old people on National database. To make you think Democrats are stealing money and win your vote eternally
Ibime:
At the end of the year, we would just judge the growth or decline in deficit, National spending and Social Security spending to judge the truth or otherwise of the matter

Men lie, women lie, numbers dont

Enzo Maresca clashed with Chelsea over team selection, he didn’t want decisions on line-ups or substitutions taken out of his hands.

Chelsea insist their model hasn’t changed and that any input on rotation came only from the medical staff, focused on player workload.

Maresca believed the problems went deeper, he felt pressure from above to rotate and boost the value of several young players.

— @JacobsBen




Chelsea coach is not a coach but an asset manager or portfolio manager, sharing minutes everywhere to maintain asset value after TDs have bought hundred wingers. Have been stating this fact since Clearlake came in

All those funny substitutions of Gittens, Tyrique, Delap, Blomblom, Felix, JP, centrebacks pairings and constant wholesale changes of wingers every match around 60 mins regardless of the needs of the match are testament to this.

Maresca simply got tired of being a portfolio manager and wanted to be a football manager. Ease of Conference league last season confused these clowns that you can overstock with mids everywhere and rotate anyhow, but now there is no conference league but serious business. CWC final and certain big games shows that Maresca knows what is needed to lock down big games and didn't make funny team changes or substitutions in those games. The rest of the time, he was just an asset manager for Clearlake

Rosenoir is a good manager whose opportunity has come too early. He supposed to cook for another 2 years at least

Maresca request for Delap as how grin grin grin
He could request for Delap. He has worked with him and Delap was a reasonable buy. Still is because we can get back £30m for Delap easy if it doesn't work out

But all those Gittens, Garnacho, Buonanote, Hato instead of strengthening the midfield and defence na the TDs work

Maresca was playing a game with the Technical Directors from the start. He knows they are incompetent and have built rubbish but told them at his interview that Chelsea cannot fail to win big things in the future with all the young players they have bought. They were happy with his false praise and gave him the job.

So he got what he wanted which was enhancing his CV while dancing to their tune, and now he is ready to step up to work with people that know what they are doing. And he absolutely has the skills to coach City.

Then another sack looming in two years
Na normal thing at Chelsea na

For those hoping on Fabregas, Fabregas is not going to leave Como where he is a co-owner to come and answer to bozos at Chelsea. They could kill his coaching career before he establishes himself.

The only real contenders I'm seeing are Xavi and Marco Silva

Why not wait for the sack? You would have been going home with your compensation package.

Maresca mess up big time.
lol. He will get compensation but any compensation will only last till he gets his next job - for example they could put him on gardening leave like Potter, still drawing his wage until he finds a new club
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Club World Cup Champions 2025-2029 by Ibime(m): 1:31pm On Jan 01
I will take Xavi as next coach, at least that one is headstrong to follow his own direction

I told you guys Maresca is asked to share minutes among useless players, una dey drag. He is managing assets not a football team

From BBC - The Italian is encouraged to rotate his squad, but he often feels that when he does so in the Premier League, his team drops points. He has also openly urged reporters to question the hierarchy.


The eediots did not give him better solid central midfielders to rotate but a hundred useless wingers, putting him in 4-2-3-1 strait-jacket. This is Emenalo all over again. The prevailing wisdom among most TDs is that wingers have the highest financial ceilings and they would rather see a team set up with 4 wingers and just 2 CMs, rather than a solid 3. This theory was written upon by Emenalo repeatedly and is an industry school of thought. That's why Emenalo would leave us with just Mikel and Ramires midfield and pack the AM/winger positions. Mourinho had to force through the Matic purchase to give us small midfield stability. We are seeing the same nonsense repeat irself. Unfortunately one of our CM (Enzo) is a defensive passenger and not capable of carrying an AM heavy team.

Maresca is a great coach handed nonsense

And I believe he is deliberately doing one or two to show the eediots Winstanley and Stewart how useless their squad is

What's the difference between Madueke and Iniesta when it comes to going a calendar year with no league goal and assist

The difference is Iniesta was not a substitute or injured like Madueke and played full minutes

Shame on the carryalong!

By the way Garnacho has now cost us 4 points this season by sleeping at the back post from a long throw

First against Brentford and again today

And Maresca will still give him back post marking detail next match
