It came from his time as West ham. Not really sure why.

He was slightly fat faced as a youth and it sort of stuck.

The wind changed.

I've never got the fat Frank thing. He's never ever been remotely fat, even now he's clearly still in great shape. It's a **** insult.

There's definitely a fat version of himself waiting to break out but he's done well to keep it in check thus far.

He's actually managed to do the opposite of pretty much everyone else and look slimmer in his older age.

[Roboklopp]

Wasn’t it something he worked really hard on in his early days at the chavs?

Is that legit?

If it is (and the club's right to impose a fine is stipulated in the players contracts), then presumably the fine would be deducted via the payroll and not paid (by some other means) within 14 days as it says there.

So I'm a bit doubtful TBH.

Or else they're not contractual in which case the players can tell him to do one.

Well if it is, then Frank's trying it on IMO (for the reasons I gave)

[Norbs]

After reading Crouch's book, I'm in no doubt that players would adhere to the list and do as they're told. 19yr olds on £5m a year need rules

[Cormack74]

Agreed!

I'm merely talking about the legitimacy of the arrangement; although with footballers being famously dim, perhaps they never question the club's right (or otherwise) to claw back the cash.

It's usually given to club charities to circumvent such allegations.

Ah soz, didn't realise that. I suppose enforcing it would be difficult if they refused but chances are they'd all see it as some sort of game

[Norbs]

Valencia look complete dog****

[Buzzo]

Valencia missed about 5 open goals. Unbelievable last 20 mins or so.

Decent game though.
