Same, Same; or Different? Part II
I am glad to see my musings on the Atlantic League generated a bit of discussion and some good points were raised in the comments. Our man Shiner nailed a lot of the concept – the Atlantic League is not a replacement for or challenger to the Champions League; however it is a replacement for […]

The full story can never be made public, but I had to leave New York in a hurry; angry people were looking for me. I left my apartment with just a few minutes’ warning carrying nothing except my passport, the Williamson cats, and Mrs Williamson (she didn’t want to go).
