Funny old world. The Championship is the hardest league to win due to the relentless pace and its competitive nature, so we are told. And Farke wins it at a canter. So must be a decent manager
And then
Struggles in a league where, more or less, money is all that matters in a team that has decided not to live beyond their means and gets relegated. And so Farke is a rubbish manager now
Primark said it will not take advantage of a £30m bonus from the government, potentially putting pressure on other major firms not to take taxpayer money.
Chancellor Rishi Sunak announced last week that all businesses will be paid £1,000 for each employee they bring back from furlough.
Primark placed around 30,000 workers on the government's coronavirus job retention scheme.
But it said it has now brought them all back and would not ask for the bonus.
"The company removed its employees from government employment support schemes in the UK and Europe in line with the reopening of the majority of its stores," said a spokesperson for Primark's owner Associated British Foods.
"The company believes it should not be necessary therefore to apply for payment under the bonus scheme on current circumstances."

@Arsenal are now winless in their last 27 Premier League away fixtures against other established top six teams (W0-D10-L17), since a 2-0 victory at Manchester City on 18 January 2015.
Liverpool captain Sophie Bradley-Auckland is putting her football career on hold to help her family-run care home through the coronavirus pandemic.
The defender, 30, is the manager of Edenhurst care home in Nottingham.
"With the current situation it's made me have to make a decision, one that's been awful and I've actually lost sleep about it," she told the club website.
"The fact is that I can't return to Liverpool until a risk isn't posed on the care home."
Lester William Polsfuss (June 9, 1915 – August 12, 2009), known as Les Paul, was an American jazz, country, and blues guitarist, songwriter, luthier, and inventor. He was one of the pioneers of the solid-body electric guitar, and his techniques served as inspiration for the Gibson Les Paul. Paul taught himself how to play guitar, and while he is mainly known for jazz and popular music, he had an early career in country music. He is credited with many recording innovations. Although he was not the first to use the technique, his early experiments with overdubbing (also known as sound on sound), delay effects such as tape delay, phasing effects and multitrack recording were among the first to attract widespread attention.
Much needed win for Spurs, very well drilled defensively and should have scored more.
Arsenal had the form but didn't offer up much at all, even though they had an extra 48 hours to rest/prepare.
