Outside of the blow up Seagull he also gives a good review of Raj Parker book SPORTSLAW
This is a book for anyone who wants to know how to deal with any sporting legal case without using common sense, or indeed any shred of decency or humanity.
Written with the kind of arrogance that only Mr Parker can possibly summon up and continue to retain a straight face for nine years and counting.
An example of some of his best work to date, includes such gems as:
"Wimbledon FC's links or roots in its community are of a nature that can be and are agreed should be retained by WFC and Milton Keynes SC, albeit in a new location."
the total lack of irony and self-awareness while putting his hand to the comment:
"Infinitely more harm would be caused to football if Wimbledon FC went out of
business. Everyone would suffer, most of all Wimbledon FC's true fans. It would be
replaced in Football League Division 1 by a different team altogether."
and the timelessly wrong:
"Furthermore, resurrecting the Club from its ashes as, say, 'Wimbledon Town'
is, with respect to those supporters who would rather that happened so that they could
go back to the position the Club started in 113 years ago, not in the wider interests of
football. "
Mr Parker seems so proud of his record in sports law, that not only has he written a book about how amazingly clever and wise he thinks he is, that he crows about it on his law firm's website:
"He specialises in general commercial...dispute resolution... and sports areas.
He has handled all types of contentious and regulatory issues in the.... reconstruction and insolvency, sport and media sectors."
Fortunately it doesn't tell you how well he's done at these things. But the trail of destruction he has left behind as regards Wimbledon's football club is plain for all to see.
Is Mr Parker still under the spell of Peter Winkelman's "infectious enthusiasm", as his report described the chairman of the swiftly rebranded 'MK Dons'?
It's hard to know, because he doesn't respond to any attempts to contact him.
Maybe he's just plain busy putting other sports teams to the sword with his own infectiously enthusiastic brand of "mediation".

Like that....
Amazon review:
"When I bought this superb Seagull, I called it Leo and it hung proudly in my front window. My neighbour's inflatable eagle that he calls Glenn, immediately deflated and was never seen again. I can only conclude that Seagull Leo is far better quality than Eagle Glenn. "
People reading this review are going to have no idea

No it doesn't, the review is hilarious!
I'm sorry, are you trying to imply that MB is in some way, NOT a genius.

Indeed.
Having not grown up with the rivalry for a long time Palace were more a pantomime villain for me; got to hate them, I support Brighton.
That's changed.
