Leicester City Q&A - Right-back transfer latest, Youri Tielemans, Harry Maguire, James Maddison
Get your questions answered on all things Leicester City
Rob TannerLeicester City Editor
Hello and welcome to our live Leicester City web chat on Friday, June 7.
While there have been no signings or sales at the King Power Stadium yet this summer, progress is being made.
City are closing in on their first deal of the summer with James Justin and Reece James on the club's right-back shortlist as they search for a deputy to Ricardo Pereira.
Also, Youri Tielemans has spoken about his future and expects a decision in the "next few weeks" with Manchester United and Tottenham sniffing around.
As for potential outgoings, City look set to keep at least two of their sought-after trio, with James Maddison and Ben Chilwell signalling that they are happy to stay, despite interest.
While questions remain over Harry Maguire's future, City will not be letting him leave for cheap.
Our City editor Rob Tanner has been answering your questions on all things transfers. You can read his responses below.
.... AND BREATHE
Wow, that was a marathon session. I feel like Ringo Starr 'I've got blisters on my fingers!'
Thanks for all your questions and we will do this again the same time next week.
Hopefully by then we will know more about Tielemans' future and who City want to sign. Perhaps the first one will already be at the club.
A bit of both, I think. Transfer tittle-tattle does drive internet traffic and as well as the recognised media, there are now hundreds of fan sites as well who also love the transfer chat. That is because there is such an interest in it.
Take this Q&A as an example. Usually I get a few questions and are on here for an hour. Today there have been loads of questions and I am now into the third hour. That is because everyone wants to know who City are going to sign and who they are going to sell.
What we try to do at LeicestershireLive is mop up all the rumours but ensure we state they are rumours, and when we have something concrete we write it as 'LeicestershireLive understands' or 'the Mercury understands'. I try to find the wheat amongst the chaff for you, which isn't easy.
Agents are very busy this time of year as it helps them to have their client linked with this club and that club. It looks like they are in demand. A lot of the agents I speak to are very good and trustworthy, but not all are.
A lot of the rumours come from abroad these days as well, which adds to number of speculation stories.
As for the players other clubs are interested in, the reality is that if you have talented young players other clubs will be interested in them.
Yes, they are under contract, but that doesn't mean clubs can't try to sign them. It just means the club can ask for a decent fee. The longer the contract, the bigger the fee.
I can imagine fans will get fed up of all the chat but all I can advise is try to tune it out, and visit LeicestershireLive for what is really going on.
Why all the transfer chat?
Adrian Scott is fed up of all the speculation surrounding City's players, and he is so mad he has written in block capitals, which is the written version of shouting!
EVERY TIME I GO INTO ANY TYPE OF MEDIA OUTLET I READ THAT LEICESTER CITY ARE INTERESTED IN EVERY PLAYER IN THE WORLD AND THAT OUR STAR PLAYERS ARE UP FOR GRABS BY THE TOP SIX PREM CLUBS, AND IT'S AS THOUGH THEY ARE NOT UNDER CONTRACT AT ALL. THIS ALSO GOES FOR TV PUNDITS THEY TOO ARE JUST AS BAD. IS IT JUST AGENT CAUSING ALL THE PROBLEMS OR IS IT THE MEDIA AS WELL?
City will have other options in case they can't get Tielemans. The great thing about Tielemans is we have seen he can step up to the standard of the Premier League and is an international player. Perhaps Shackleton is one for the future. He is a talent though and only 19.
How about Shackleton?
Peter Ford doesn't have a question, but a suggestion.
If we cannot sign Tielmans what about Shackleton of Leeds, looks really good?
It would depend if we have seen progress from last season. If they finish seventh but we have seen Rodgers' style of play starting to come through and there are signs of progress, then no. Rodgers said the target is breaking into the top six, that may not necessarily mean straight away. He needs to build his squad his way.
And if they can win some silverware, well that will never be failure. Would love to see that FA Cup at City.
Will it be a failure if we are not top six?
Aran asks:
With many clubs getting stronger in the top 6 and those outside the top 6 investing heavily would it be a failure of a season should city not break into the top 6 or 7 next season?
No question Gareth Southgate must be very thankful for City's approach to developing young English talent.
Personally, I think Maddison will be the next to get a senior cap. His creativity and ability on the ball looks tailor-made for international football.
Hopefully, all four of the City lads will make an impact for the under-21s in the Euros in Italy.

England stars from City.
Penny Baker believes more of City's youngsters could become full England players soon.
Watching last night's match, I couldn't help thinking that England's midfield would be improved by the tough tackling of Hamza and the trickery of Maddison. Which Fox do you think is most likely to be the next to break into the England senior squad?

I think City might have to look at Madidson's contract and offer him an improved deal if he continues his development. When he signed he was a Championship player, stepping up to the Premier League. He had a superb first season and is on the verge of becoming a full England international, so I think it is inevitable that City will have to look at that situation.
Likewise, Harvey Barnes has broken through into the first team and is a rising star.
New contracts for anyone?
Taró Bap'nigan asks:
Can you see any of the current squad being tied down to a longer and more lucrative contract this summer?

Nothing in it.
Robben?
Chris asks:
Any update on the potential Arjen Robben transfer, or was it always a pipe-dream?
When we first saw the links to Justin, we felt in the office it was a realistic one as City wanted a young defender who could develop and challenge Ricardo, but also not expect to be an automatic starter.
I always work on the basis of what position do they play in, whether City are light in that position and then it is a case of are the young? Will they add value to the squad? Do they have potential to develop? Are they affordable?
From the names already linked, I would have...
Justin RB
Tielemans - Mount AM
Townsend - Ziyech
Which rumours are realistic?
Daniel Atkinson asks:
What do you think are the most realistic rumours so far? And also, what players will fill the five signings this summer/ who do you want to??
I think City agree with you. They don't want to sell any players. It looks like Chilwell and Maddison will be staying and if any clubs did come in for them I don't think the offers would be entertained. I am sure Brendan Rodgers would have been given assurances that he could retain his best players.
However, he did say to us whoever wants to be at City next season will be here. That means he doesn't want any players who don't want to be at City. Chilwell and Maddison want to stay.
With Maguire, City also don't want to sell, but if Maguire wants to leave for Manchester City they would only entertain the idea if a huge fee was submitted.
City have lost one key player every summer since they won the title. They couldn't do anything about Kante. Drinkwater wanted to go to Chelsea and Mahrez too Manchester City. Both players forced the issue and City let them go to retain the spirit in the dressing room.
I don't think Maguire would cause problems at all, but if he wants to go and the fee is a world record City might do it.
We should not be a selling club!
Robbie Allen is concerned over the reports of the top six circling for City's best players.
Rob, how can we think about becoming a top six club if we are worried about losing our top players? We need to keep these players if we are ever going to be a top club. We shouldn't be a selling club anymore.
City will be looking for a player to challenge Chilwell in the future after Fuchs moves on. I think the reason City persuaded Fuchs to stay for one more year was because they want to spend their money in other areas and Fuchs was still performing well last season.
Long term they will have to bring someone in. Callum Elder hasn't developed as many would have hoped so I am not sure he is the answer.
Go for Rico
It is not so much a question from Alan Wileman, but a tip for Lee Congerton.
Rico Henry, left-back at Brentford. Worth watching as a replacement for Fuchs.
I know Townsend was wanted by City two years ago but Palace wouldn't sell. If they returned now he would cost a lot of money, possibly as much as £30 million in the currently inflated market. City would only go for a new defender if Harry Maguire moves on. If it is to be Dunk then again Brighton would want a lot of money for him, similar to Townsend.
How much would Townsend and Dunk cost?
David Murko asks:
Will Leicester sign Andros Townsend and Lewis Dunk and for how much?

Both fit the profile, certainly. They are young, promising talents who will add value to the squad, and I am sure both have been discussed internally at City.
In terms of young players coming through, Khanya Leshabela has been named in a first team squad before and he looks a good prospect for the future, as long as he continues his development.
The problem for the under-23s is they didn't end the season very well after Rodgers comes in, so there isn't anyone currently screaming for inclusion.

Mason Mount? Harry Wilson?
JC asks:
What do you think our chances are of signing Harry Wilson or Mason Mount since Derby County failed in their promotion bid? Both would check off boxes on our transfer list. Also, do we have any academy wingers or attacking midfielders that might be close to making a step up?

Possibly. Silva looks at home in Monaco. He never really settled in Leicester and the pace of the Premier League didn't seem to suit him, and I don't think the style of play Rodgers wants next season will suit him either.
Monaco want to keep Silva, I am told, but if they decide to sell Tielemans to a Tottenham for ridiculous money, City will certainly expect a significant fee for Silva as a result. Probably not as much as they paid for him, but not too far off.
Personally, I think the Silva/Tielemans swap deal will happen, but we will see over the next couple of weeks.

Alan Wileman wonders what will happen to Silva.
Will we stilll sell Silva to Monaco if we don't get Tielemans?

I think City are looking for a versatile player who could potentially play as a number nine. I don't think they will be looking to bring in an established centre forward. Vardy is the number one number nine and I believe Rodgers believes he can get the best out of Kelechi Iheanacho. I know he had a poor season last year but we have seen in flashes his potential and he was so short of confidence last season. I think if he is to fulfill his potential it will be Rodgers who will get it out of him, and he is willing to try. You might see a very different Iheanacho next season.
I think City will be looking to recruit a forward who can play in support of Vardy and, if there is a problem, can also step up to play as the number nine. And if they do bring in a number nine it will be another younger player who will accept he will have to learn from Vardy and be an understudy.
I agree on Slimani. I can't see any future for him at City but he will be difficult to move on because of the package he is on at City. No one else is willing to match that and at this stage of his career he will be reluctant to take a pay cut with two years left on his contract. Another loan looks likely.
Now, what about a striker?
Karl thinks City need to bring in a striker.
The priority this summer must be a striker coming in or maybe even two. Iheanacho is not the answer and should be loaned out & with Slimani not likely to stay and Okazaki off we only have Vardy. Any rumours of any potential strikers. Last season we never had a credible striker threat from the bench.

Requests for Rob
I have several questions over the past few weeks asking me to go on various fan podcasts etc. I can't answer those here, so could you email me instead. Thanks
Sorry Ben, City are not in for Robben or Sturridge. That was just rumour.
Tielemans, obviously, but the other two are not being considered by City, I am told.

Do you know if we are close to signings like Robben, Sturridge, Tielemens?

Le Football Club de Meyrin est un club de football de la ville de Meyrin, dans le canton de Genève, en Suisse.
Il évolue actuellement en  Ligue et dispute ses matches au stade des Arbères. Le président actuel est Antoine Salamolard. Le Meyrin FC est constitué au total de 35 équipes dont une équipe féminine.

Histoire

En 1914, Modeste Vandonini, Albert Mossaz, Edouard Perrin et Henri Andeolli, le futur président du club, décidèrent de créer officiellement le Meyrin Football Club. La mobilisation de 1914 posa de nombreux problèmes. Malgré tout, le club continua de s'agrandir. L'année 1939 ralentit également l'activité mais  furent alignées et le mouvement juniors créé, Juniors A en 1941 et Juniors B en 1944.

1946 est une date importante dans la vie du club. C'est l'année de la promotion du Meyrin FC en  Ligue. Pour la saison 1947-1948, le président du club de Meyrin, Henri Andreolli confirme l'adhésion à l'ACGFA (l'actuelle Association Cantonale Genevoise de Football).
En 1949, le problème principal est de trouver un terrain. La solution adoptée aboutit à l'utilisation de celui de l'Aviationen cogestion avec le Vernier FC.

C'est en juin 1959, sous la direction de l'entraîneur Marcel Gander, que le Meyrin FC accède à la  Ligue. C'est d'ailleurs une année significative puisque Meyrin FC fête son , mais aussi parce que le Conseil administratif de la commune de Meyrin fait l'inauguration du nouveau stade municipal le . Le stade prend par la suite le nom de la rue où il est situé, le stade de Vaudagne (terrain A). À ce moment, Meyrin FC est constitué de , toutes composées des adultes. C'est seulement dans les années 1960 que les dirigeants du Meyrin FC devront faire face à l'arrivée massive de jeunes, conséquence de l'augmentation des habitants dans la commune de Meyrin.

En 1965, les grands efforts déployés par Marcel Gander, Louis Thomas et le président Georges Mani, portent leurs fruits - l'équipe du Meyrin FC est promue en  Ligue. Malgré la relégation en  Ligue à la fin de la saison, des mesures sont prises sous la direction de l'entraîneur R. Dupuis et la  du Meyrin FC rejoint la  Ligue en 1968.

Pendant douze ans, le Meyrin FC sera connu à travers sa première équipe dans des nombreuses localités de la Suisse occidentale. La direction de l'équipe fanion sera confiée à des grands noms du football helvétique: André Grobéty, André Bosson, Jean-Claude Schindelholz, mais également Roger Guinand, Edmond Sauthier, Christian Coste, Albert Porto, Gérard Castella (, , LNB) et Pascal Besnard.

En 1980, la première équipe du Meyrin FC a été reléguée en . C'est avec l'arrivée des années 1990, que le club remporte plusieurs championnats.

Saison 1994-1995
La saison 1994-1995 est très fructueuse pour le club. La première équipe est devenue le champion genevois de  Ligue, à la suite des finales remportées face à l'AS Malley et FC Beauregard. Cette victoire se traduit par la promotion du Meyrin FC en  Ligue. La section Juniors a également des nombreux succès. L'équipe des A inter remporte le titre des Champions de Suisse, les A  régionaux deviennent les champions genevois et les Juniors C terminent la saison en tant que Juniors C inter.

Saison 1995-1996
Une année plus tard, en 1996 l'équipe fanion du Meyrin sous la direction de Gérard Castella est promue en LNB (Ligue Nationale B, qui est connue aujourd'hui sous le nom de la Challenge League).
Au terme de la saison 1995-1996, le Meyrin FC est représenté dans toutes les catégories juniors au plus haut niveau, et se trouve en compétition avec les plus grands clubs de Suisse, Servette FC, Lausanne-Sports, Neuchâtel-Xamax, Grasshoppers, Young Boys, St-Gall, FC Zurich,  FC Bâle et bien d'autres.

Saison 1996-1997
Sportivement la saison est difficile. Malgré l'arrivée du nouvel entraîneur de notre première équipe, Pascal Besnard, la relégation de l'équipe du Meyrin FC est inévitable. L'équipe fanion n'a pas pu rivaliser avec les clubs de LNB, à cause des finances qui ne le permettaient pas. Néanmoins le club n'est pas tombé dans la spirale des dépenses. De plus, l'éviction par l'ASF des juniors meyrinois de l'élite nationale (due à la promotion en LNB) est regrettable pour le club.

Saison 1997-1998
La première équipe termine deuxième dans le championnat de  Ligue et participe aux finales de promotion pour l'ascension en LNB. Cette fois, le Meyrin FC a échoue de très peu (aux tirs au but) face à Serrières. Dans la même saison, le club a réussi à inscrire un autre record dans son historique. C'est la qualification pour les huitièmes de finale de la Coupe de Suisse et les meyrinois jouent contre l'équipe du FC Aarau le .

Du côté de la section des juniors les succès sont remarquables. Les juniors A inter parviennent à se maintenir dans la catégorie, après avoir connu bien des difficultés dans la constitution de son contingent en début de saison. Roberto Petulla, leur entraîneur, a fourni un gros travail avec les joueurs et ils sont parvenus à atteindre le but souhaité, le maintien. Les juniors A2 avec José Fernandez à leur tête, ont remporté la coupe genevoise et ont également remporté la Coupe romande. Les B inter ont été champions de leur groupe grâce à leur entraîneur Maimouni. Les juniors B2, entraînés par Gilbert Charrière, ont disputé la finale de la coupe genevoise. Bien qu'ils ne l'aient pas remportée, ils ont défendu les couleurs meyrinoises avec fierté.

L'équipe des C inter sous la direction de Jean-Pierre Maillard, tout comme les juniors A inter, ont assuré leur maintien en inter. Et enfin, les nombreuses équipes de juniors D et E, ainsi que l'école de football, ont encore augmenté la qualité de leur travail de formation.

Saison 1999-2000
L'année 1999 était l'année du  du club. Plusieurs manifestations durant toute l'année étaient au programme, comme le tournoi international des juniors, avec l'équipe du Brésil dirigée par la vedette et champion du monde Jairzinho.

Côté sportif c'est un excellent début de saison pour la  du Meyrin FC. Ils terminent le championnat de  Ligue au  et réalisent leur objectif de gagner la coupe genevoise. L'entraîneur, Pascal Besnard, quitte le club après trois saisons pour retourner au Servette FC. La  a changé d'entraîneur en engageant , ancien joueur international de l'Argentine. le Meyrin FC a pu à nouveau disputer les finales de promotion en LNB, après avoir préalablement éliminé le FC Naters lors d'un match de barrage disputé à Martigny.

En ce qui concerne la formation meyrinoise des jeunes, elle continue de progresser. Toutes les catégories juniors étaient représentées dans les tournois intercantonaux. Les juniors A et B ont fait une excellente saison et ont remporté le titre de champion romand. Le Conseil administratif de Meyrin a d'ailleurs nommé ces deux équipes pour « le mérite de la commune 1999 ».

L'équipe de juniors A1 inter, dirigée par Roberto Petulla, termine première du groupe romand avec 10 points d'avance sur la . Ainsi elle a pu disputer les finales Suisses à Frauenfeld (Thurgovie), en compagnie de huit meilleures formations du pays. Sans perdre un match, les juniors A inter du Meyrin FC ont remporté le titre de champion Suisse. Cette équipe a également remporté la coupe genevoise des actifs pendant la même saison sportive.

Saison 2000-2001
La saison 2000-2001 a été une saison mitigée pour le Meyrin FC.
La  a connu un  difficile. Étant sous la menace de la relégation, le comité a pris la décision de se séparer de l'entraîneur de la , Oscar Gissi, qui a été remplacé par Claude Alain Fontaine. L'équipe termine au  dans le classement de la  Ligue.

La  évolue en  et est composée, essentiellement, de joueurs de l'équipe des juniors A-inter qui a décroché le titre de champion suisse. Elle terminera le championnat à la .

Une fois de plus, le mouvement junior était représenté dans toutes les catégories d'inter. Les équipes des A-inter et B-inter ont toutes terminé  de leur championnat respectif. Celle des juniors C-inter s'est classée à la  du championnat.

Saison 2001-2002
La  est entraînée par Pascal Besnard, revenu au club, et assure son maintien en  Ligue.

La section junior du Meyrin FC continuer de progression et évolue à grands pas, notamment grâce au travail effectué par les entraîneurs du club. Les juniors B1 sont champions de leur groupe. Dans l'ensemble, les classements des équipes juniors sont positifs, mais pour un club formateur cela n'est que secondaire.

Saison 2002-2003
La  est promue en Challenge League après la finale face au FC Tuggen. Lors du match aller, à l'extérieur, l'équipe est menée 2 à 0 à la mi-temps avant de revenir à 2-2. Le match retour est remporté sur le score de 2 à 0 par les meyrinois.

Saison 2003-2004
Une fois de plus, la  a réussi un bel exploit en se maintenant en Challenge League avec essentiellement des joueurs qui ont fêté la promotion et des jeunes issus du Club.
L'exploit vient cette année, de la Swisscom Cup (Coupe de Suisse), puisque le Meyrin FC a atteint les 1/4 de finale face au FC Zurich. Défaits 3 à 0, les Meyrinois n'ont pas eu à rougir face à un gros calibre de l'Axpo Super League (LNA).

L'équipe de juniors M-19 a terminé le championnat à la  pour sa  dans cette catégorie et l'équipe des juniors M-15, terminera à la .

À relever, également, le titre de champion de l'équipe de juniors C1, entraînée par Laurent Cardon.

Au niveau du comité, le Président, Claude Roeder, tire sa révérence après 15 années passées au club, dont deux comme président. Il est remplacé par Ramon Arino, revenu à la tête du Club.

Saison 2004-2005
Les Meyrinois entraînés par Jean-Michel Aeby réalisent un beau parcours en Coupe de Suisse en éliminant 3-0 le FC Signal le  avant de s'incliner 3-1 face au FC Bâle le  au Stade du Bois-Carré en seizièmes de finale devant 3800 spectateurs. D'après Luis Moës, ancien secrétaire général du club, .

Excellent stay here. Breakfast was very good, and the service was top notch. The property was beautiful.
The customer service was fantastic! Overall, while the bed was a bit uncomfortable, the hotel was great and the service was absolutely superlative. When I explained that my room was a bit loud, the staff immediately upgraded me to a more accommodating and quieter room. The staff was genuinely friendly and eager to make my stay enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this hotel and the prices were exceptionally reasonable.
We had an amazing trip. The Service was excellent!
This is a great place to be if you want to be in the center of the action. We were treated very well and stayed in a room with a balcony and a view of the surrounding mountains. I would stay here again in the future as there really is no better location in Cortina as for being within walking distance of all the restaurants and shopping. Our room was on the corner of the hotel and we had great views out to the plaza and to the surrounding mountains. The hotel is an elegant old world style place with wide corridors and surfaces of beautiful wood and marble. The included breakfast was a very good buffet style with personal service for Cappuccinos etc. You can take the breakfast either on the terrace or in the beautiful dining room. The man at the front desk was very nice to us and helpful with the free parking and selecting a great room for us. We will be back for skiing.

Set during the time of the Napoleonic Wars, this classic gives a satirical picture of a worldly society. The novel revolves around the exploits of the impoverished but beautiful and devious Becky Sharp who craves wealth and a position in society. Calculating and determined to succeed, she charms, deceives and manipulates everyone she meets. A novel of early 19th-century English society, it takes its title from the place designated as the centre of human corruption in John Bunyan's 17th-century allegory.

Written at the request of Charles Dickens, North and South is a book about rebellion that poses fundamental questions about the nature of social authority and obedience. Gaskell expertly blends individual feeling with social concern and her heroine, Margaret Hale, is one of the most original creations of Victorian literature.

This hugely engaging story of murder, superstition, religious politics and drama in a medieval monastery was one of the most striking novels to appear in the 1980s. The Name of the Rose is a thrilling story enriched with period detail and laced with tongue-in-cheek allusions to fictional characters, the most striking of which is the Franciscan friar William of Baskerville, who displays many characteristics of Sherlock Holmes.

In this world of bribes, vendettas, and swindling, in which heiresses are gambled and won, Trollope's characters embody all the vices: Lady Carbury is 'false from head to foot'; her son Felix has 'the instincts of a horse, not approaching the higher sympathies of a dog'; and Melmotte - the colossal figure who dominates the book - is a 'horrid, big, rich scoundrel...a bloated swindler...a vile city ruffian'. But as vile as he is, he is considered one of Trollope's greatest creations.

Lucky Penny by Alison Glass – pre-sale alert!
I'm a big fan of the funny and talented Alison Glass. Andover are making a real effort to bring on fresh new designers that appeal to modern quilters and Alison is one of my favourites – plus she's loads of fun to hang out with at Quilt Market! Her day job is interior design and that shows in her collections – there are bold colours and large scale designs that really stand out from the crowd. I think she's going to be massive.
At Spring Market I got Alison to sit down with me and choose this selection of Lucky Penny and I'm just dying to get it in the shop. Unfortunately there were some delivery delays and it won't arrive until January 7, but I decided to offer a pre-sale so you can all share in the excitement!
Our nine-piece bundle is on sale for £5 off until the collection arrives (that's £22 instead of £27). You'll be charged at the time you place your order, and it will ship on or around January 7. Isn't it gorgeous? I think so!

French Connection annual loss narrows but shares fall as boss Stephen Marks warns High Street conditions remain tough
Fashion retailer posts full year loss of £0.8million, albeit down from a £4.4million deficit for the previous twelve months
Shares dropped 14 per cent or 8.5p to 52.5p in mid-morning trading
By Mark Shapland For This Is Money
Published: 06:59 EST, 17 March 2015 | Updated: 06:59 EST, 17 March 2015
Fashion retailer French Connection - best know for its FCUK logo - reported yet another loss today as its boss Stephen Marks warned that trading on the high street remains tough.
The once 'cool' clothes seller - started by Mr Marks in the early 1970's - recorded a narrower loss of £0.8million for the year, compared with a £4.4million deficit for the previous twelve months.
Revenue fell 5.8 per cent to £178.5million after sales shed 3 per cent following a poor performance in the second half, which the retailer blamed on the period's unseasonably warm weather.
However its wholesale division - which sells its products to retailers in 60 countries around the world - performed markedly better with revenues rising by 4.6 per cent to £75.2million. Wholesale accounts for about 40 per cent of the company's sales.
Founder: French Connection was founded in the early 1970's by Stephen Marks and was floated on the London Stock Exchange in 1984
Mr Marks, the firm's chairman and chief executive said: 'In spite of difficult retail trading conditions in the second half of the year, these results show that we have made another step towards returning French Connection to profitability.'
French Connection slims its annual losses but sales drop... Which fashion retailer shares should you buy? Stock experts...
'The performance of our wholesale and licensing operations were both encouraging, supported by the continued strength of the French Connection brand worldwide. We have also maintained a tight control of costs and have continued to close loss-making stores. Although we are encouraged by forward orders in our wholesale business, trading on the high street remains challenging and we are planning accordingly.'

In reaction to that caution, French Connection shares dropped 14 per cent or 8.5p to 52.5p in mid-morning trading.
The London-based company, which has been attempting a turnaround after years of underperformance, is trying to win customers by redesigning product ranges and closing unprofitable stores.
Nick Bubb, independent retail analyst, said: 'Today's finals show that the French Connection business is still making a loss, because of its troublesome Retail operations, but at least the loss for the year was a bit reduced on the previous year.'
'If the recent weak trend in the BDO weekly Fashion sales figures are any guide (which they are) then we suspect that the new-year has got off to a tough start in the UK,' he added.
Last year in a bid to spruce up its image, french Connection hired socialite and model Suki Waterhouse, as the face of its White Lies collection.
High street fashion rivals Next and SuperGroup have also been under pressure of late.
In December, SuperGroup launched a strategic review of its business after it reported a sharp slide in profits, having appointed former Co-op boss Euan Sutherland as its chief executive.
Meanwhile, Next reports full year results this Thursday, with forecasts for profits to rise 11.5 per cent to £775million.
However, in October Next warned that it had been hit by the mild autumn weather, which resulted in a lowering of profit expectations as it needed to offload goods at a discount.
British retailers have had a tough second half partly due to the mild autumn weather that hit sales of winter fashions. Muted wage growth has also forced consumers to keep spending under control.
Recent figures from the British Retail Consortium showed that retail sales disappointed in in February, gaining just 0.2 per cent on the year before, the same rise as recorded for January after a fall in December.
Analysts were less than impressed and had expected a better performance given that inflation and interest rates are at record lows.

Italian premier boutique Slam Jam links up with Adidas to take on a contemporary silhouette.

The white and creme SLAM JAM edition boasts snug neoprene and soft leather, with different materials and colors at the heel.


Measure inside width, height and depth (A, B , C ).
Measure the width between the bottom hinges (the opening D) to determine size of spacer required. Measure the height between the base of the cabinet and the bottom of the hinge. Can a ball bearing slide fit under the hinge? If not, make a note as the width of the drawer will need to be reduced.
Measure the height below the hinge. Must beat least 1 3/4″ (measurement E in diagram).
Note the number of doors in the cabinet (single or double).
There are 2 installation methods we may recommend – fixed shelf mount or side wall mount. Fixed shelf does not require levelling but reduces usable height of cabinet.
D is opening- the measurement between hinges or if only 1 door measure between hinge and cabinet wall.
The width of our drawer is custom made to fit your cabinet. We do not recommend manufacturing a drawer less than 6" or greater than 35" width. Drawer dimension may need to be smaller due to intrusions, like electrical wiring, boxes or plumbing. It is important that cabinet doors open at least 90 degrees, so the drawer will slide out unhindered. Always provide a clear cabinet opening when ordering and we'll adjust for hardware and spacers required. Ball bearing slides require 1" of space and Blum Tandem & Movelto 3/8". Unfortunately, there does not appear to be a standard height for mounting door hinges. Ball bearing slides require 1 ¾" vertical space below hinges. If this space is not available, you need to install slides in front of hinges using larger spaces or re-drill hinge cavity higher up in cabinet.
Depth of drawer is dependant on availability of slides. 10" to 28" is current standard.
I recently used Peter at Custom Slideout Shelves and was thrilled with the drawers he designed and installed for me in my closet. I had costume jewellery all over and now have it all organized and laid out in my new drawers. He and his installer were punctual and cleaned up completely. I would recommend him highly.

During Men's Health Month in June, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services encourages men and boys to take steps toward a healthier lifestyle. It is an opportunity to raise awareness about the impact of preventable illnesses such as heart disease and highlight ways to stay healthy, such as exercise and getting regular medical check-ups.
It is important to encourage men to take control of their health because men experience poorer health and die younger than women in the U.S. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, boys and men in the United States, on average, die 5.6 years earlier than women and die at higher rates from nine of the top 10 leading causes of death.
The HHS Office of Minority Health reminds men and boys that they can improve their health by seeking medical advice and taking other important steps such as making healthy food choices, staying active, quitting smoking, seeing a health care provider, and taking care of their mental health .
The health status of racial and ethnic minority men has lagged far too long behind the general population, despite our nation's vast advances in science, public health and health care.


Can I Terminate a Power of Attorney?
There are three basic ways that a Power of Attorney (POA) terminates, says nwi.com in the article "Estate Planning: Revoking a power of attorney." The first is the date and time that it specifies, if it contains such language. POAs rarely have termination dates, because they are intended to be "durable" over an extended period of time. However, in certain circumstances, they can have a termination date.
A letter from an attorney may be helpful. Speak with an experienced estate planning attorney to find out if there are any laws in your state that may provide additional protection.


Most pet store owners have an essential idea of who enters their store on any given day. If you researched before opening your pet store or discovered over time, you can probably describe the essential characteristics of the set of people that enters your store. This valuable information, believe it or not; provides a solution to attracting more pet lovers/owners to your pet store which will in return boost sales.
Not all customers are the same. In fact, they may vary quite a bit. You know it from experience. However, we often see similarities between groups of people.
One way to classify your target clients involves examining their generation age generally. Significant differences exist between the desires and basic needs of a Baby Boomer, Generation X, Generation Y, and Generation Z. While individuals vary within each age group, many similarities also exist. For clarity, let's look at an overview of generation X. However, before we proceed, answer this question.
Take a split second and jot down the essential characteristics of the clients that frequent your store the most. What is their age range? What phase of life are they are they at? What kind of clothes do they wear? What kind of pet do they have? What do they eat?
You may not have comprehensive details, but what you discover will be useful to help you better understand who your customers are. You are likely to have more than one category of customers, divide them into groups and subgroups if need be: your primary customer (those that frequent your store most often), your secondary customer (those who frequent your store most often), and maybe even your tertiary.
Who is generation X? Did you know there was a generation between Baby Boomers (older generation) and Generation Y (Millennials)? Of course, you do, but they are neglected so often that they are easy to lose.
Take it or leave it, this cohort exists, and they are spending good money on their pets. Generation X is not as old-fashioned as their parents and is not as open-minded as their kids. They are a bit in the middle. At this stage, they are within the ages of 35 – 50, which means they are entering the top of their careers and may even start planning their retirement.
This generation has faced many changes in a short time. They were born in an analog age, and they had to change into a very digital realm quickly. This generation believes that nothing is constant, they are pessimistic, skeptical, and disillusioned by almost everything and too much questioning conventionality".
So, how can you market to the generation X customer?
They are not conservative like their parents, but they are not as liberal as their children. For now, Generations X is between 35 and 50, so you can get away with some of the old marketing tactics and incorporate new ones.
Compared to the owners of pets of Generation Y and Boomer, pet owners of Generation X are more likely to trust the products offered by the company. Smaller companies such as regional or family businesses or smaller/natural/organic products. However, small traders should be prepared with something more convincing than a standard message if they want to reach these young parents of pets successfully.
Pet owners aged 45 to 50 are much more likely than their senior colleagues to rely on their vet doctors for information on a wide range of products for pets. For example, compared to owners of pets between the ages of 18 and 74, dog owners in the 18- to 39-year-old range are more likely to seek advice from vets about food and goodies. For dogs, It is more than three times more likely to have purchased dog food from a veterinarian in the last three months.
First, be authentic. Do not hide plans or values from these people. It means a lot to them if your pet store is transparent. Advance with your intentions. Many members of Generation X have strong family values along with their desire for security. If your message reflects this, it will be easier to connect. Convince them that they can trust you and what they can provide a reliable service to build a relationship and references.
It's straightforward. You want to reach your customers, and right now a site is a safe bet. A large number of Generation X use the Internet regularly. A clean and well-designed site can work wonders for your pet store.
Additionally, ensure that your site is optimized. The majority of Generation X customers regularly seek information on their smartphones. If a website fails to load properly, they usually dismiss that site and opt for another.
Generation X has some problems with authority. Generation X grew at a time when the economy was rising or falling when politicians were ahead of the scandal, and their parents were losing their jobs. They believe that respect is earned through time and experience. You cannot just introduce yourself and say what happens.
So when you talk to them, do not be overbearing. Do not tell them to get a product they don't want to get, instead, give your opinion on why they should get it. However, at the same time, do not be silly; do not give them a reason to doubt your experience. Go ahead, be sure of yourself, but do not be arrogant. We already talked about authenticity. Stay faithful, and you'll be fine. The last thing you want to do is mess with a generation that is already skeptical and pessimistic about so much in life.
Generation X still appreciates traditional mail, as long as it is not invoiced! Many members of the generation often send handwritten postcards with personal and professional means. Direct mail reaches Generation X at home more efficiently than at work.
Email provides a kind of instant gratification for personal and business matters, resonating well with the tech-savvy generation X customer. Gen X-ers check their emails regularly, in fact, it is reported that 58.2 billion X-ers use the Internet daily, so they usually see your message. A mailing list, both paper and digital, is a great way to market your pet product to this generation.
Digital media, like a custom video for your pet products, can make a big difference in how your prospective and current customers see you. Executed correctly, your new video can add a more humane touch to your store. What makes you seem more accessible and reliable.
Most of us now understand the importance of the internet for reaching potential customers and marketing. Almost everyone nowadays connects to a social media. Moreover, with the invention of smartphones, the Generation X customer might connect 24 hours a day, seven days a week, through the web. Also, about 41.6 million members of Generation X will have a social network account.
used platform for Generation X.
Although requiring a bit of planning, marketing to the Generation X customer need not be complex. This generation values a balance of established values of the past blended with today's technology and social media. Reach out to them on their terms. You may find they become some of your most loyal customers!


A big problem is all the Obama holdovers dotted around the administration and government agencies. The amount of obstruction taking place is mind boggling, and it includes high levels of criminality. The President seems to be doing what he promised, but it is going to be a slow process. There are still clandestine forces in play who are trying to remove him from office using nefarious means.
#BREAKING Under the new Trump order, illegal immigrant families will be allowed to be kept together during legal proceedings, when the safety of the children can be guaranteed.
Well done President Trump for overturning that nasty Bush/Obama law!
But you seemed to think on page 1 that this was necessary to keep the borders safe. Trump has now opened the borders and the destruction of all western countries is nigh following your fanboy logic.
Expect a Fox News link presented as irrefutable evidence and that we should all go 'fair play that's told us' very soon.
He's neutral. He deals in facts. The ones exposed by every alt right website he quotes.
Yes, it is a deterrent the way the existing law is framed, as people were using kids to circumvent the law. That's why he wants to do a new deal! Build a wall, no more catch and release, prosecute illegal entry, i.e. control the border as per his campaign promise! And now the democrats are playing political football over the issue. They don't care about the kids, they are just using them as a political weopon.
Ignoring all the brickbats for a moment. There was a very interesting piece on Radio AM just now. I cant be bothered to go into every detail - but the upshot of this is that the democrats have been positioned (due to their political stance on this) now become the party of 'let them all in' regardless , no checks etc - just let them in, which the correspondent seemed to think will work out very well in favour of Trump at the mid term elections coming up. Even though he is not a well liked President (no sh1t) , the economy is booming, jobs have been protected, unemployment is at an all time low etc.
The downside being, like any o'level economics kid will tell you - the tarifs and more expensive goods has allowed inflation to creep in - currently running at 3% - which wont be sustainable for ever. Anyway back to the original point.
I agree about their economy doing well, he inherited a very good economy much like Labour did in 1997.
Anyway there's hope that he'll avoid hell as he's decided that separating kids from their parents was perhaps not the nicest thing .
The existing 1997 law has a 20 day limit and the democrats wouldn't change it because of political points the scoring. The new executive order removes that limit, so that the children can stay with their parents until their case is resolved, which they couldn't do under the Bush/Obama legislation.

Trump's The Art of the Deal beats Alinsky's Rules For Radicals every time Before you know it, the Democrats will be nominating Peter Fonda as their presidential candidate!
The forced separation policy was introduced by Sessions in April this year. When you see Trump or anyone else, including in this thread, blaming anything and anyone other than that, it is a complete lie. This is well documented.
The way to stop it, as was said many times, is by Trump signing something and that is exactly what happened. It needed no input from anyone outside the trump administration.
You will find the law was passed in 1997 by Bush, and it is only for valid for 20 days, hence Trump wanted to fix it, but the Democrats said feck the kids, they prefer to play political games. Get your facts right buddy. The whole thing is a ruse to stop any ammendments to immigration law, i.e. they want illegal migrants to stream in by the millions, as they did in Germany.
Bush was Governor of Texas in 1997. Bush became President in 2001. Get your (really really really) basic facts right buddy.
In 21 years, this only became a problem with Trump's policy change because the law never required family separation. Saying it needs Democrats to change it was a lie, and that's been proved by Trump signing an executive order to do exactly that.
You are both wrong about the US economy. It has improved slightly since Trump came to office but real unemployment remains above 20%. I posted in another thread here all Trump's quotes since 2012 stating how fake the numbers are. Now he's bragging about 'the greatest economy ever' which he knows is a lie yet is not shy of repeating.
I think you've embarrassed yourself enough now, Gluey.
Pissgate, Trump Russia Collusion, Stormy, Trump Foundation, Childrengate, so what's next? We need more outrage lardy!
Anyway, all's well that ends well!
Yeah, can't come across as being unsympathetic, we've got to show some compassion to lardy and friends who have had a very traumatic week!
Why do the Democrats want to give their country away? It's going to backfire for them in the November mid-term elections.
Thank goodness there are people in this world who still have compassion and care for those less fortunate than themselves. Only right wing fascists and racists could make jokes about the suffering of children.
It's a Democrat game, don't fall for it.
Kids were strapped up naked with paper bags over their heads on Obama's watch. Why are you explicitly trying to pin it on the right?
No, you've got it wrong, Gluey's a socialist, mind you he thinks the Democrats are socialists as well.
Not really, I just deal in facts, who is doing what etc., How about you, are you a fanboy?
Facts? Just saying things doesn't make them "facts".
Don't you mean a factualist? Remember the time I told you Senator John McCain was a wrong 'un?


The music world has lost a multi-genre pioneer with the passing of string wizard Bob Brozman. When I took up the ukulele in 2000 Bob's ukulele instruction video on Homespun Tapes was my inspiration to take my understanding of the ukulele to the next level. In 2012 I had the good fortune to meet Bob in person at the NAMM show in Anaheim, California where for years he held court at the National Resophonic booth. It was not only a thrill to meet Bob, but he granted me an interview to discuss his new and improved Homespun video project. It's a sad day when a musician of Bob's stature leaves this plane of existence. The good news is the body of recorded music and instructional material Bob left behind. Aloha Bob.

Is Hydraulic Power Steering Actually Better Than Electric?
And how in all that's good and decent does power steering even work? Our experts have the answer.

There is a war of hyperbolic statements among enthusiasts, waged both in the comment sections of websites and in the texts of articles. Not one of worldly significance or anything that'd affect our daily lives, but one revolving around the switch from hydraulically assisted to electrically assisted power steering. Yes, I'm being serious.
Go to a review of any new sports car, one that switched from hydraulic power steering to electric power steering, and you'll find savage comments on the state of sports car manufacturing or how the '95 Mustang GT was the pinnacle of steering feel and everything that's come out since is…[insert your favorite fecal expletive here].

This all flies in the face of the fact that the average consumer couldn't care less about the car's steering system. Looking in, this likely seems like a weird hill to die on, but it's an argument that's captivated most enthusiast communities. Especially when it comes to steering feel.
To catch you up about this pitfall-laden fight, The Drive's undecided editors dropped our collective knowledge on power steering, steering feel, and how it all works below. Get ready for one pedantic issue.
Power steering simply implies that your car's steering uses electricity or hydraulic pressure to augment the effort needed to steer the vehicle. This reduces the stress on the driver and allows for easier low-speed maneuverability.
How Does Power Steering Work?
The functionality of power steering comes down to magical wizardry. Joking! Let's break it down.

Though hydraulic power steering has been the favored system for many decades, it wasn't the first. The first power steering system was implemented on a 5-ton truck in Columbia in 1876. Little is known about the inventor, whose surname was Fitts. The truck used an electric motor to assist the driver in turning the front wheels.
Today's modern systems work much differently, and it starts with position and torque sensors that are affixed to both the steering column and steering gear. The car's ECU then interprets signals sent by these sensors and applies specific parameters to the steering wheel and the drive wheels depending on certain conditions, variables, and situations.
Because electric power-assisted steering systems, or EPAS, are controlled electronically, varying degrees of resistance can be applied to the steering column. This allows for greater precision in both low and high-speed situations.

Hydraulic Power Steering
Hydraulic systems are slightly more complicated than EPAS due to additional mechanical parts and fluid. A hydraulic power steering system uses hydraulic fluid, a cylinder, a pump, and one or more control valves to multiply the force applied to a steering wheel via its inputs.
As stated, the steering wheel operates one or more control valves to allow the flow of the hydraulic fluid to the cylinder. The more torque to the steering wheel a driver inputs, the more fluid flows through the valves to the cylinder. The pump is normally driven by a belt connected to the vehicle's engine, which then pushes the hydraulic fluid through the cylinder to the steering gear. This then turns the wheels.
Most hydraulic pumps are positive-displacement, meaning the hydraulic fluid flow rates are equivalent to engine speed, low engine speed equals low-speed steering. A high engine speed equals high-speed steering. But because this would certainly mean you'd fly off the road when attempting a lane change, a flow-control valve sends a fraction of the pump's pressurized fluid back to the hydraulic reservoir when the engine is operating at higher speeds.
Are There Other Types of Steering Systems?
Electric and hydraulically-assisted steering aren't the only types of steering systems in the world. Here are a few other examples.

Unassisted
Yah want gains, bruh? Then unassisted steering is the right one for you! Just kidding, well, sorta. Unassisted steering is exactly what it sounds like in that there's no system helping take the load off the steering wheel. Cars without power steering are much more difficult to steer.

Electro-Hydraulic
Electro-hydraulic steering is actually a blend of electric and hydraulic steering systems. Instead of traditional hydraulic steering, which is boosted using a pulley that turns off the engine, there's an electric pump that pressurizes the hydraulic fluid in the steering system. The Gunther Werks 400R uses this type of system.
Steer-by-Wire
Steer-by-wire is the newest form of steering and is most commonly associated with future-forward EVs. In this case, the steering wheel isn't actually connected to the wheels, unlike electric and hydraulic systems. Instead, the steering wheel and wheels talk to one another via the car's onboard ECU and through a set of wires.
The upside is there are fewer mechanical parts to go wrong. The downside is that there aren't any backup systems if something goes wrong. And because of that downside, no car on sale today features a fully steer-by-wire system—Infiniti's Direct Adaptive Steering is a partial steer-by-wire system.

Rear-Wheel Steering
Rear-wheel steering is a type of steering system connected to a hydraulic or electric power steering system that actuates not just the front wheels, but the rear wheels, too. These systems don't adjust the angle of attack as severely as your front wheels, instead only operating with a few degrees of change. The R32-generation Nissan GT-R (called Super HICAS for "High Capacity Actively Controlled Steering"), along with all the subsequent GT-Rs, the old Honda Prelude, most new Porsche 911s, and even Bentley's Flying Spur, all feature rear-wheel steering.

What Is Steering Feel?
Most consumers could not care less about steering feel, or the sensation of the road and your tires. All they care about is that it works when the time comes to evade an obstacle or switch lanes.
Enthusiasts, however, are chiefly aware of steering feel. They yearn to understand every corner's slip point, the weight of the car leaning into a corner, the moment their tires break traction, the camber of a road's apex, or its subtle flaws. It connects them to the road, the car, and the act of driving.
Instead of, you know, the steering wheel feeling like an inflatable tube man flapping around without a care in the world.

So Which Is Better, Electric or Hydraulic?
Ah, the question on everyone's minds. Unfortunately, the answer isn't as cut-and-dry as it once was. At least in the sense of steering feel.
If you'd have asked me 10 years ago, the answer was clearly hydraulic. The systems communicated the road, its imperfections, cambers, and what the tires were doing expertly. There was a sense of connection that was unrivaled by its electric power steering brethren, given that EPAS was in its infancy at the time and was...sensationless.
But times have changed and electric power steering is catching up to its fluid-based sibling. Cars like Porsche's all-electric Taycan provide pinpoint accuracy and transmit those same attributes detailed above nearly as well as its hydraulic predecessors. As does the venerable Miata, which ditched hydraulically assisted steering for EPAS for the ND generation.
Are they perfect yet? No, but engineers are getting mightily close. What I'm saying is that those hydraulically assisted purists are fast becoming dinosaurs, relegated to Grandpa Simpson yelling at a cloud to get off his lawn.

FAQs About Power Steering
You've got questions, The Drive has answers!
Q: Is it dangerous to drive without power steering?
A: Let's ask the Alfa Romeo 4C. Alfa?
Alfa. IT'S FINE!
A: Well, there's your answer.
Q: What just happened?
A: You asked an Alfa Romeo, a car that comes from the factory without power steering, if it is dangerous to drive without power steering. You're welcome.
Q: Uhhhh… Ok, then what are some signs of bad power steering?
A: You may hear groaning noises, whirring, screeching, really anything that sounds out of the ordinary is going to be a good indicator that something is wrong. Also, if your power steering suddenly becomes difficult to use, it may be broken.
Q: Can I drive without power steering fluid?
A: You can, as the Alfa shows, but it'll be difficult to drive and turn. You may also do damage to the power steering cylinder and pump. Especially if you're driving something big like an F-250 or Suburban.

Hamengkubuwono II (also spelled Hamengkubuwana II, 7 March 1750 – 3 January 1828), born Raden Mas Sundoro, was the second sultan of Yogyakarta 1792–1810, 1811–12 and finally 1826–28 during the Java War.

He succeeded his father, Hamengkubuwono I who died in 1792. After Daendels pressured him, in December 1810, he was forced to abdicate in favour of his son, Raden Mas Surojo who was made the new sultan, under the name Hamengkubuwono III. However, nearly one year later, in 1811, the English under Stamford Raffles restored him to the throne. However, due to his aggressive behaviour towards the English, six months later in June 1812, he was deposed and exiled to Penang. He returned to Java in 1815, but in 1817, deeming him as a threat, he was exiled for the second time by the Dutch, this time to Ambon.

In 1826, the Dutch decided to return him from exile and restored him as the sultan. His third reign coincided with the Java War. On 3 January 1828, he died. He was succeeded by his great-grandson, Hamengkubuwono V. He was buried in Kotagede instead of the royal graveyard of Imogiri, due to the turbulence at the time.
