UK/International Customers are Second Rate citizens?
I have a AFi-R and love it. It took forever to reach the UK but when it did I was very impressed.
I'd like an Amplifi Instant to extend my network and I'd like to get the kit for my parents-in-law. Trouble is I can't.
The Amplifi Teleport is still not available in the UK despite being out almost a year, the Amplifi Instant isn't available despite being out several months and the Amplifi Gamers Edition isn't available either. This is all despite the fact that the products are all considerably more expensive over here, the $340 Amplifi Kit is £348 ($445).
Please stop treating your International customers like second rate citizens, especially when you're charging them a lot more for the privilege!
@Daniel-James-White Sorry to hear that you feel this way. Our distributors in the UK and the EU do provide the AmpliFi instant and the Gamers Edition is currently under development for use internationally. You can find a list of distributors here: https://www.ubnt.com/distributors/. Keep in mind that not all of the distributors in the UK sell AmpliFi equipment so you will have to look into each one to see if they do.
As for our Teleport, sadly it is only available for customers in the US and Canada.
We do apologize for any inconvenience caused, we care for the input of all Ubiquiti customers.
You wanna be prioritized in support and likewise.
Otherwise, open a YT-channel and contact UBNT and state that you will use your Youtube-channel to shill-hump their product to the moon and back.. as almost every so-called "review" out there are gifted' so that approach will likely also get you what you want' not least the new Gamers edition with exclusive fast shipping to Europe.
But there is one thing you cant, and here it doesn't matter how big you are in UBNT stock shares or YT fame, and that is to get a clear answer if that freaking USB2.0 port will be user-data-active or not here almost 2½ year down the road' as many official sale-vendors of Ubiquiti Networks list it as a USB2.0 feature for numerous USB-data-peripherals in there sales materiel for Afi-R.
Maybe it's down to some private third-party UBNT ambassador fronting as more in the loop then what is actually the case.
@jakob-schmidt-rasmussen Years ago I worked for a major computer manufacturer/vendor as a technical support and eventually at a managerial level. I was often asked these type of questions. Most of the time I REALLY did not know about the future directions of a product. If by chance I did know and divulged that info before corporate said I could, I WOULD HAVE LOST MY JOB!
There are legitimate competitive reasons this type of info cannot be divulged. There are proper channels to learn this info but they are generally limited to certain resellers and the like who are generally prohibited by Non Disclosure Agreements from letting this information out. If they do there are often legal and business continuation consequences for doing so.
I too would like to know some of the future product directions that I see repeatedly ask for in posts, but having worked for a vendor I understand why I cannot be told before the info is made public.
Keep in mind that not all of the distributors in the UK sell AmpliFi equipment so you will have to look into each one to see if they do.
NEITHER of the only 2 UK Distributors have them. scan.co.uk doesn't even list them as a product and LinITX just says "Awaiting Stock".
Yes, I know it is. But why? There is no reason for this limitation to be in place other than making a model with EU/UK plugs. Why you haven't made it with interchangeable plugs in the first place is beyond me.
@daniel-james-white Seems like the product isn't terribly popular in the UK and they are trying to change strategies on how to improve that. Sadly, seems like this is a "lull" in that transition that is very inconvenient for those who want to purchase the product. With luck, B&M stores will have the product very soon.
I'm not with UBNT, just offering an outside opinion. This is one fairly common strategy to improve adoption: exclusive retailers/distributors who can help promote the product. I hate when products I want have such restrictions but it's a system that works when a product needs help with adoption and, sadly, that probably describes AmpliFi in the UK at this time.
EDIT: Don't believe me? Go get a job in marketing for HTC and see how it goes.
How can UBNT know whether Teleport is popular in the UK or not if it's not offered for sale in the UK?
@nigel-steward Total speculation here but if I were them, I'd have metrics on what percentage of AmpliFi HD owners also purchased a Teleport in addition to what percentage of AmpliFi HD owners came to the ecosystem strictly because of the Teleport. Let's use some made-up numbers here.
Let's say in the US, they have sold 1,000,000 AmpliFi HD systems with 500,000 Teleport users. Let's also say 100,000 of those Teleport users bought in only because of the Teleport unit itself and not the rest of the AmpliFi system.
Now let's say Australia has the same ratios with 500,000 AmpliFi HD systems sold to 250,000 Teleport users, 50,000 of which bought in because of the Teleport itself.
Those two sets of metrics are consistent and can help them understand what to expect in other countries. Even if the Teleport were US-only right now, it's still useful in trying to predict other countries. So if they had only sold 9,000 AmpliFi HD units in the UK and nothing else, that tells them that they'd probably only have had sold 4,500 Teleport units. If they were to offer it via traditional channels, then those metrics would suggest that offering the Teleport would then bring those numbers up to 10,000 AmpliFi HD units and 5,000 Teleport units. Which would tell them that they need to change strategies before they even offer the Teleport.
There are many other market research methods to know this as well, all of which I'm sure Ubiquiti has more sophistication in than even I know about.
Teleport is not available in Australia yet.

Looking for a ‘Break Time’ Abroad?
VSO’s Education Information Event will be held from 2-4pm on 9 Aug at VSO, Carlton House, Upper Richmond Road, Putney, London SW15 2BS. To book a free place or to find out about future events for volunteers from a variety of professional backgrounds go to VSO Education.
For further information about educational volunteering placements, please visit www.vso.org.uk/volunteer/.
Primary school teachers and education managers across the South of England are being challenged to take up their most demanding but rewarding career move yet as international development charity VSO (Voluntary Service Overseas) launches its recruitment campaign for skilled educational professionals to volunteer in some of the world’s poorest countries in 2012. Interested educationalists are being invited to VSO’s event in London on Tuesday 9th August, where they can learn more about the exciting, life-changing and career enhancing volunteering opportunities currently available.
VSO is the world’s leading independent international development charity that works through volunteers helping to tackle global poverty by sharing their professional skills. Educationalists who take up the VSO challenge will find themselves working with schools, colleges or ministries of education helping tens of thousands of children to get a better start in life by improving the quality of education and teaching practice in countries from Cameroon to Nepal, Ethiopia to Uganda.
The charity urgently needs to recruit 50 primary school teachers and education managers who can start vital volunteering posts in January 2012 (which requires educationalists to resign by 31st October ‘11). VSO also needs to enlist a further 100 primary teachers and education managers for challenging and rewarding positions throughout 2012 which will help make a difference to children’s lives and help fight poverty and disadvantage.
Previously most volunteers needed to commit between 18-months to two years in their post. However now, VSO can offer 12-month positions, which the charity hopes will make volunteering more accessible to interested educationalists.
Brian Rockliffe (OBE), director of VSO UK, a former teacher and education volunteer said: “Summer holidays provide time out from your daily work commitments to reassess and plan new life ventures. We’re urging any primary school teachers and education managers who are looking for an exciting, rewarding and life-changing experience in 2012 to get in touch. If you apply now, you could be heading off for your biggest career and personal challenge yet, to the likes of Ghana, Rwanda or Nepal as soon as January.
Those applying for volunteering posts will be assessed and matched to the best placement for their skills and experience. Primary teachers need to have at least two years of post qualifying experience and education managers require a minimum of three years management experience.
VSO volunteers are provided with full training, flights, accommodation and an allowance to cover basic costs. Unlike many UK-based volunteering organisations, VSO does not charge individuals to volunteer and its recruitment policy is based on matching the right professionals with the correct skills and qualities rather than on the ability to pay.

A stalled US$1 billion tribal casino project between Genting Malaysia and the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe in Massachusetts could soon be back on track following reports that the US House of Representatives is set to fast-track a key casino bill.
The Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe Reservation Reaffirmation Act, a bill that would essentially end ongoing legal action that has prevented development of the proposed “First Light” casino since 2016 by reaffirming 321 acres of land, is set to be rushed to the House floor as early as next Monday, bypassing the usual committee review.
Rep. William Keating, who reintroduced the bill in January, issued a statement this week in which he expressed confidence the bill would be taken up.
If Keating’s confidence proves well placed, it would provide a significant boost to both the Wampanoag Tribe in Massachusetts, which is reportedly struggling financially, and Genting Malaysia which has spent the past three years propping it up.
In its 3Q18 financial results issued in December, Genting Malaysia reported a net loss of MYR791.7 million (US$195 million) on its investment in the wake of a September ruling by the US Department of Interior that Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe could not develop its planned IR. Genting Malaysia had previously purchased promissory notes to the value of US$426.3 million issued by the Tribe.
It has also been reported that Genting Malaysia has loaned the Tribe around US$500 million against future casino profits, however in its 2018 earnings release the company revealed that further loan payments would now cease.
Genting stated in December that it was continuing to “work closely with the Tribe on options which include a legislation being introduced in the US Congress which, if passed, will entail the US Federal Government to reaffirm the land in trust for the benefit of the Tribe.

Learning How to Love My Kids, Again (or why I'm thankful for Veteran's day even though it means another day off of school) | Thin Places | A blog by Amy Julia Becker on Faith, Family, and Disability.
Our day started at 5:50, with William by my bedside. "Mommy, the only thing that will make me happy is if you give me a movie right now."
I squeezed my eyes shut. "William, is it six o'clock yet?"
"No. It was taking too long."
William knows two things: he is supposed to stay in his bed until 6:00, and he only gets to watch something on weekend mornings.
"William, you can go back to your bed for ten minutes and then I will come up, or you can go start an art project by yourself."
"But Mommy! The only thing that will make me happy is a movie right now!"
I've been attending a parenting class based upon Positive Discipline. The premise is that discipline doesn't need to be punishment, and that acting positive doesn't mean giving permission to do everything. It involves lots of "strategies" and "solutions" to problems. The adult retains authority, but not because of an assertion of power and control but because of firm but loving guidance for the child. I completely agree with this approach from a theoretical and spiritual perspective. I understand God as a Father who gives us "rules" out of love and care for us, not out of a desire to dominate our lives, a Father who is "for" us and wants our best. I see myself as a parent who wants to provide a lot of structure for our children, which includes rules and expectations, coupled with a lot of love.
So Positive Discipline seems right up my alley. And in the classroom of adults-pretending-to-be-children, it works really well. This past Monday, we solved the problem of one kid terrorizing a cat and another (mine) drawing with milk all over the table.
It hasn't worked out quite as well in our home. Last week (on Monday, three hours after class, as it happens) William and I played a Busytown game. At the end of the game, I was feeling very proud of myself for sharing "special time" with my son and crawling around on the floor searching for ladders and clocks and all the other objects on the game's board.
William was not feeling that same pride. He started throwing the pieces all over the room. I put on my Positive Discipline hat and considered the logical consequences of his actions. I told him if he treated the game like garbage, I would put it in the garbage. I gave him the chance to go to his room to calm down, and then decide. Ten minutes later, he looked me straight in the eye (with his pacifier, giraffe, and blanket, just in case I'm tempted to forget that he's four when we fight with each other and he wins, which is what seems to happen most days), and said, "Throw it away."
I made a big fuss of putting the whole game in a garbage bag and taking it to the trash bins outside. I then realized that a) I had cleaned up the entire game while William lounged in his bed and b) I was about to throw away a perfectly good game. So it is currently stored in the trunk of our car, and I am still trying to figure out how I should have handled that one differently.
But back to this morning.
"William, you know that we've agreed that we don't watch movies in the morning."
He starts pounding the bed. Hard. Over and over and over. In the dark.
Let's just say it did not end well, and I found myself longing for a different model of parenting, one in which the parents asserted control and the kids just listened and did what they were told and there was none of this unbelievably time-consuming, emotionally-draining, hard hard hard work of figuring out how to love the kid and listen to the kid and be firm and clear, and all before the sun comes up.
And of course, it's Veteran's Day. So we have yet another week with a day (or two or three, as has happened a lot recently) off from school. (We haven't had a full week of school since the first week of October.) And this day has begun, in the dark, in tears.
I was ready to write a post today about why schools should stay open for national holidays. Close the banks. Close the post office. But keep the schools open and teach the kids about what or whomever deserves commemoration rather than offering yet one more disruptive three-day weekend. I stand by my guns on this one (yet another issue that would garner all the Mom votes in the next election), but it turns out I'm grateful that today was a day with no place to go and time on our hands as a family.
And it was kind of fun. For all of us. William and Penny took turns using the scissors and got excited when they found great pictures to accompany our different items and hanging up a gigantic piece of paper on the wall of the playroom is hugely exciting. Even though it only refers to the morning, they've spent the whole day referring back to our chart to try to figure out what is supposed to happen next.
I don't know whether it will help tomorrow morning to refer to our schedule. Moreover, I don't know if it will help two weeks from now. But I know that I'm back to believing that it is worth it to figure out how to provide the boundaries my kids need in order to grow up, how to provide structure and freedom at the same time, how to create the order that allows creativity and flourishing. I'm back to believing it's worth it to learn how to love them well.

and of course, it's veteran's day. so we have yet another week with a day (or two or three, as has happened a lot recently) off from school. (we haven't had a full week of school since the first week of october.) and this day has begun, in the dark, in tears.
i was ready to write a post today about why schools should stay open for national holidays. close the banks. close the post office. but keep the schools open and teach the kids about what or whomever deserves commemoration rather than offering yet one more disruptive three-day weekend. i stand by my guns on this one (yet another issue that would garner all the mom votes in the next election), but it turns out i'm grateful that today was a day with no place to go and time on our hands as a family.
and it was kind of fun. for all of us. william and penny took turns using the scissors and got excited when they found great pictures to accompany our different items and hanging up a gigantic piece of paper on the wall of the playroom is hugely exciting. even though it only refers to the morning, they've spent the whole day referring back to our chart to try to figure out what is supposed to happen next.
i don't know whether it will help tomorrow morning to refer to our schedule. moreover, i don't know if it will help two weeks from now. but i know that i'm back to believing that it is worth it to figure out how to provide the boundaries my kids need in order to grow up, how to provide structure and freedom at the same time, how to create the order that allows creativity and flourishing. i'm back to believing it's worth it to learn how to love them well.

Sad news. Anton Calleia, a close friend of Ken Reich and a fellow OFS member, sent me an e-mail this morning saying that Ken died in his sleep last night. Ken was a retired staff writer for the Los Angeles Times. In his three-plus decades with the newspaper, Ken covered City Hall, wrote a column and was a lead reporter on the 1984 L.A. Olympics coverage.
Those of you who attended last Wednesday's OFS luncheon noticed that Ken arrived and left in a wheelchair, the result of a defibrillator episode he experienced on the last two days of his recent weeks-long cruise around Africa.
The Los Angeles Times obituary desk has been notified of Ken's passing. Funeral details will be sent to OFS members when they become available.
This is a bad time in the newspaper business, as it is, economically for the country in so many ways. But, I fully believe, brighter days will come, and we must do what we can to insure that they do."

John Bennett(July 20), a teacher at Westside Middle School, was upset by the School Board's decision to have teachers teach all sides of any controversy. He is right, of course, that pretending all sides of any controversy are equally valid is nonsense.
But a good deal of the issue hinges on our definition of "teaching" a position. If "teaching" means that the teacher merely presents all sides of a controversy as though they were equal in weight and legitimacy, then we are being equal time indoctrinists.
But if the teacher probes the source of an argument, has students ascertain if it is based on inductive logic or revelation and is supported by empirical data or intuition, then students are learning skills that will be far more useful throughout their lives than learning to find square roots.
If teaching a subject means subjecting all views to tests of critical skepticism, tests of logic and of empirical support, of credibility and of evidence, then I would applaud the attempt to subject all views to the critical analysis skills that we are trying to develop in our students.
How else are they to learn to distinguish between supportable generalizations and nonsense? And where better to learn such skills than in school, guided by teachers who can guide them through the processes of critical thinking?
In this approach, the teacher's role is that of a discussion leader and a participant, not a supplier of answers. Unfortunately, few teachers are trained in this area.

What objects exemplify ‘our time’?
For Dublin-born artist Michael Craig-Martin, it’s takeaway coffee, noise-cancelling headphones and an electric toothbrush – among other ephemera – that act as icons of today, as shown in his new exhibition of prints, Objects of Our Time.
The show, held at London’s Alan Cristea Gallery, will feature prints created using techniques including etching, digital printing, screenprinting, and light-box installations.
The new works showcase Craig-Martin’s distinctive bold, impactful style, and explore how objects that are pedestrian and familiar can be elevated into ‘life as art’.
Alan Cristea Gallery says, ‘Presented on lively monochrome backgrounds, they are visualised as bold forces fuelling and facilitating contemporary society, and set apart from their user and context, they become autonomous art subjects.
Alongside the Objects of Our Time show the gallery will also be showing an exhibition curated by Craig-Martin – Master Prints – which draws together a number of 20th and 21st century prints by contemporary artists.
Many of these are from Craig-Martin’s own collection, and others are those that ‘would ideally find a place amongst his collection’, says Alan Cristea Gallery.

If your car is in need of a new windshield, you might be worried that it will cost you a lot of money. It is possible for the costs to add up, but luckily, there are a few tips that you can follow that will help you save money on a new windshield for your car.
Some windshield replacement companies offer mobile services and are willing to come to you to replace your windshield, which can be a handy service. However, you might be charged an additional service charge for the service, so if you are able to drive your car to the shop and don't mind doing so, you might be able to save a few bucks by doing so. Additionally, when taking your car to a shop, make sure that you take it to one that specializes in glass replacement; some people make the mistake of taking their vehicle to a regular body shop, for example, and the body shop could end up charging a fee simply to take the car to a glass repair professional for them. You can keep that money in your pocket by taking your car to a glass shop yourself in the first place.
Some people assume that once they see a little bit of damage to their windshield that they do not have any options other than to completely replace the glass. However, this is not always the case at all. Some glass repair pros who specialize in doing auto work are actually able to make repairs, such as to windshields that have minor chips, which can be more affordable than buying a new windshield altogether. This will depend on the severity of damage to your windshield, so ask your glass repair pro to take a look at it.
Depending on your insurance company, you might not be on the hook for the cost of your windshield replacement at all. Instead, you might be able to count on your insurance company to cover all or most of the cost for you. Consider calling your insurance agent to find out if this is an option for you.
As you can see, there are a few different ways that you can save money on your car windshield replacement. If you follow these tips, you might find that the cost of your windshield replacement isn't nearly as expensive as you thought it might be!
For more information and options, contact a windshield replacement company, like Econo Glass Company.

St John the Baptist Church in Burford undertook a bold new redevelopment project at Warwick Hall to unite the church and local community through the building of a new community facility. The brief was to extend and adapt the listed building to provide a new hall flexible enough to meet the wide ranging needs of today’s end users. The challenge was to deliver a new confident community facility within one of the most historically sensitive church building settings in the country. ClewsLA provided landscape architecture services from initial design through to project completion.
The Warwick Hall has been described by the Bishop of Dorchester as this generation’s ‘gift’ to Burford, building on successive generations of work over centuries in order to build, develop and maintain the church and its setting.

Today’s residents of Chula Vista have much in common with citizens of a hundred years ago. Make that a thousand years or more. Southern California has always been an arid land, with cycles of drought, interspersed with wet years every now and again.
In December of 1915, San Diego’s city fathers tackled the issue from a completely different angle. They hired a rainmaker!

Organizing for Action, a nonprofit organization founded four years ago by former President Barack Obama’s then-campaign chairman in preparation for his second term in office, has reportedly begun distributing a training manual to the left’s army of presumably unemployed protesters and rioters.
According to the New York Post, the manual specifically instructed leftist bums and other such vermin on how “to bully GOP lawmakers into backing off support for” President Donald Trump’s agenda.
The plan centered on raiding local Republican-held town halls and then utilizing deceitful tactics “to make it seem like the whole room opposes the Republican host’s positions,” according to the Post.
As for what to say, the manual recommends that leftists make dumb statements (not their phrase, of course) and boo loudly.
One recommendation: “Express your concern (to the event’s hosts) they are giving a platform to pro-Trump authoritarianism, racism and corruption.” In other words, blah, blah, blah.
The irony is that the phoniness of this wannabe-grassroots organization is as clear as day on the group’s Facebook page, where a veritable army of grassroots Trump supporters — none of them motivated by money — have slammed OFA.
The point is that the former president is not necessarily orchestrating the group’s current activities, though he certainly could be. It does not really matter in the long run, however, as the comments on OFA’s Facebook page would appear to demonstrate that the number of Americans in opposition to its mission and tactics far outnumbers those who support it.
Please share this story on Facebook and Twitter and let us know what you think about the attempts by this Obama-affiliated group to thwart President Donald Trump’s agenda.

Henry Shaw, a prominent businessman and horticulturist, gave Tower Grove Park to the City of St. Louis and personally developed its exceptional landscape architecture before opening to the public in 1872. Tower Grove Park is considered the best and most complete example of 19th century urban park design remaining in the United States. Tower Grove Park is one of only seven National Historic Landmark public parks in the nation, along with New York Central Park and Boston Common, and features a collection of Victorian pavilions unique in the world.
Residing in the middle of the city, Tower Grove Park provides important recreational, educational, and cultural opportunities for 2.6 million visitors each year. Currently there are over 8,000 trees and woody plants of over 400 taxa including two Missouri state champion trees – deciduous holly (Ilex decidua) and bigtooth aspen (Populus tremuloides). The Park also encompasses brilliant floral designs throughout, ponds lush with lilies, native prairies, and a wooded resting place for over 200 species of migratory birds traveling along the Mississippi Flyway.

TWO WORDS are guaranteed to incense many Sheffield United fans. Dean Hammond. The man no-one wants but who won’t go away.
The 33-year-old was already a controversial and disliked figure amongst fans at Bramall Lane before an inexplicable revelation has enabled him to insist on a 12-month stay of execution. Tail wagging dog springs to mind.
But before we rush to condemn the rapidly declining midfielder who clearly has much more financial sense than professional pride, isn’t this yet another glaring example from United of how not to run a football club?
How is it possible for Hammond to have arrived on-loan from Leicester last August on wages reported to be £17,000 a week with the option, if the fancy took him, to join the playing staff as a fully paid-up member for a further year? As far as business acumen goes, from United’s point of view that is extraordinarily incompetent.
Now we have a situation where the fans don’t want him. The Board don’t want him. New Blades boss Chris Wilder has made it clear he doesn’t want him. The player, however, has invoked a contract clause which clearly undermines the manager. Wilder has responded in the only way he can by putting Hammond on the transfer list. What a farce.
If ever a player epitomised what was wrong with the over-sized squad of largely cash-conscious, egotistical misfits accumulated by Nigel Clough and added to by Nigel Adkins, it is Dean Hammond. Apparently he is prepared to sit out the next 12 months if he has to at a club where he knows he will never play in the first team again.
You don’t have to look far, however, to start unravelling a not-so-tangled web to explain it. Put simply – jobs for the boys. Step forward Adkins. A man who is always looking for an “opportunity” as he has told Blades fans a thousand times.
Hammond, as everyone knows, was sacked boss Adkins’ pet project. But best laid plans have gone awry due to the manager’s catastrophic 11 months in charge which saw his promotion favourites stutter to their lowest finish for 33 years.
Had he stayed there would have been no problem for Hammond, apart from continued disapproval from the stands which clearly didn’t bother him nor the man who appeared to idolise him.
Adulation stemming from Adkins’ time at Southampton where Hammond played an integral role in the Saints remarkable back-to-back promotions to the Premier League. A feat which cemented the manager’s reputation and 12 months ago put him at the top of United’s wanted list.
Hammond’s secret loan deal nugget sheds revealing light on why Adkins was always at pains to defend him no matter how poorly he played. No matter how vociferous the criticism.
Prior to joining United, Hammond had made just 12 appearances for Leicester in the season they defied all odds and clung on to their Premier League status under Nigel Pearson.
With just 12 months remaining on his contract at the King Power Stadium and already a fringe player, Hammond was surplus to requirements as far as new manager Claudio Ranieri was concerned. There is a reason for that.
Nevertheless in rushed what we now know to be a totally deluded Adkins, blinded by his own stupidity dressed up as positivity and the desire to do an old pal, way past his best, a favour. A big favour as it has turned out.
Not only was Hammond suddenly guaranteed first team football – 34 mostly below average appearances – and a chance to go in the shop window for a season to try and restart his faltering career. He was able to demand the bonus of a 12-month contract option at the end of his loan deal and remain in the comfort zone with his protective mate at the helm.
How was this allowed to happen at a club whose co-owner Kevin McCabe always goes to great lengths to emphasise how well run it is? Well, quite simply, Adkins, Hammond and his agent took United’s senior management for mugs. Which, it has to be said, they are.
It's happened too often and offers an insight into the structural problems that have led to arguably the darkest period in United's history.
Pet projects were not only confined to Adkins. In a strikingly similar scenario, John Brayford, the defender who played under an adoring Clough at Burton Albion and Derby County, was signed again by ex-Blades boss Clough. He originally introduced him to the Lane as a loan signing from then Premier League Cardiff City.
Granted, unlike Hammond, Brayford impressed during his six-month loan and United fans welcomed him when he eventually returned to sign a permanent deal. The terms, however, for a League One club were breathtaking. A £1.5million deal and a three-and-a-half-year contract.
For United to spend anything like that in the first place is, to put it politely, out of character. To spend so lavishly on a right-back they didn't need at a time when goal-scoring was a major difficulty, should have set alarm bells ringing.
To offer a deal, presumably with wages to match, extending over 42 months – even United's catalogue of managers could only expect 36 – was surely enough to warrant evacuating the stadium and moving match-day stewards to Phase Five. It should never have been approved.
Brayford hasn't gone close to recreating the form that made him a crowd favourite during his loan spell. Injury may have had a part to play in that and there is no doubt that he is one of the better players in the squad.
He has, however, much to prove if he is ever to start to justify the huge financial package he received which could see him remain at the Lane until summer 2018.
You also have to ask yourself what is it that makes any self-respecting player from higher divisions and with belief in themselves, jump happily at the chance to ply their trade in the third tier of English football? I think we know the answer.
Hammond’s comfortable world was turned upside down a fortnight ago when Adkins received his marching orders. The player will tell you that like anyone in any job he is only acting on what was agreed to secure his family’s income. Why would you choose the job centre when you can continue to steal a comfortable living while looking at the classified ads?
As irony would have it Adkins, five days after his dismissal, was back in charge of a team which included Hammond and Blades striker Billy Sharp in front of a 19,445 crowd at St Mary’s Stadium. The occasion was Southampton goalkeeper Kelvin Davis’s testimonial when the current Saints team took on Adkins’ Southampton Promotion X1.
Blades fans can only hope that someone is daft enough to gamble on a now discredited Adkins and give him a job. It may be the only chance United have to offload a financial haemorrhage called Hammond.
