Pragmatic expectations and serial divorcees

1500
By on CQN BLOG & Comments

I spoke to a serial divorcee some years ago and he suggested that after one bad marriage, you’re more likely to plunge headfirst into another, then another, than your average person, despite all the warning signs.

He was driven by a need to put things right in his life.  Regretful of lost time, he wanted to get on with finding a secure, lasting, future relationship.

Parma were a tiny club for most of their existence, occupying the fourth tier of Italian football, but they rose inextricably to become one of the top clubs in Europe.  When Rangers knocked them out of the Champions League qualifiers in the 90s, they were sixth top seed in the Uefa rankings.  When the money dried up and insolvency grabbed them a few years ago it must have been hard to accept their place – a club with little substance going for it, but with fans expecting glory.

News this week that after liquidation a newco Parma would kick off at the bottom tier of the professional game in Italy is a morality tale.  Just as my pal, the divorcee, was compelled to plunge into a ‘lasting and successful’ relationship at the first opportunity, few people who pick up the pieces of insolvent football clubs seem to be blessed with pragmatic expectations.  A second, even more damaging liquidation, haunts in the shadows.

    Bet 365 is probably the best

     

    But they are all interested in one thing and one thing only. ….taking your money. .you start winning any significant money from them and they will close you down or restrict your bets

    I knew you would be lurking, the job is a job, it’s quite good being back in the real world even though that means maybe meeting Lennybhoy on the train or AOW in the office, not too far away from Partick if you fancy a shandy and definitely a lot closer to the Blane Valley the next Friday swally for Oldtim & the rest of Cqn, trying to wangle Dublin with Clogher Celt but all depends on holidays with the Mrs

    I had a wee aunt Grace from Milford, my wee daughters middle name is Grace, if possible try and watch a wee 45min film Clogher Celt put up a wee while back, it is pretty amazing, nothing that some people didn’t know but was eye opening to me,
