I know that! That wasn't my question - which was how come MS knows I've checked out HIS account! Of course, if all the ones he references are 'his' accounts, then I've certainly accessed some of them!

Mate , I usually ignore your trolly nonsense but your coming accross as a bit obsessed now.I know that! That wasn't my question - which was how come MS knows I've checked out HIS account! Of course, if all the ones he references are 'his' accounts, then I've certainly accessed some of them!

I'm simply answering your question. The emoticons should indicate the frivolity of the bit I think you might be referring to.

PGA turnover is “only” 1.5B though and it’s not like the workforce are easily replaceable, they are the top golfers in the world.
If I was a tour player in the mid ranks winning 2M a year and watch Jay get paid 9M I’d be fuming.

So if I have basic Sky (which I don't) how much would it cost me a month in total to add golf? I've been quoted more than £100 a month by the guy in my local shopping centre. Genuine question.
100% This, why has it taken LIV for the extra money to come into tournaments, it should of been done before now.
You could argue that as CEO he has let down his members.

Have you read anything about why the PGA is now paying out more?
Also, if the members of the PGA Tour we’re happy with what the boss is being paid. They could do something about it.
Not everyone worries about what other people are being paid.
In my opinion you’d be in the minority, although it’s playing golf, it’s their job, they aren’t playing as a hobby.
He is the boss and has a duty to look after his staff, it’s the standard, I’ll pay you more after you’ve taken a new job.
Why not pay what they are worth to start with.

I’d be in a minority of what?
Like I said. Have you looked at how and why PGAT purses are increasing now?
The minority of what people are getting paid.
I haven’t looked at why purses are getting increased but I’m not Naive enough to not think LIV golf has had a significant impact on their thinking on purses.
We have just renewed with sky. Full sport, no movies, hd, phone, broadband, line rental, £66. I think the tv, sport, all channels worked out at about £32 or similar.
I'm pretty happy with that deal. No doubt someone out that will get it cheaper but it's okay with me.
Go on the sky website and look in offers. If you have an account already then log out. Some deals may be hidden, it's what the sky person on the phone told us to do.

There's a certain irony in calling Foxholer obsessed in a thread with the number of posts Mel Smooth has made

My Sky is the same as yours but includes Sky Q - and I’m paying a fortune, but I’m getting from your post that you are an existing Sky customer and still was able to get your package for £66. Basically we can’t afford it, so wouldn’t be stringing them along saying I will have to cancel a load of stuff.

Though I've not seen his contract, which may suggest differently, his primary responsibility is to the company/organisation rather than the staff. In every CEO/workers situation I know of (partnerships are different) it's a matter of negotiation as to how much or little the boss can get away with paying. That way, his/her own performance is likely to be enhanced.
And that simply backs up what I posted above. Monahan had to do something to encourage 'loyalty' and enhancing prize money was an obvious tactic.
Not in this situation of a non profit. His job is to pay them the maximum he can. Taking into account contingency reserves, reliability of revenue, future revenue and sponsor projections, etc.
It is not to make a profit for someone else, and paying them less is not in the thinking as it is in for-profit organisations that most of us work for.
In a way, LIV has given hi bargaining power with the big corporate sponsors - Ill deliver you the stars, and pretty much all of them that matter, but as you have seen, we are under price competition, so we need you to up your $15M prize fund for your tournament to $20M.

Nope! Even so, though perhaps not as aggressively as in a 'for profit' org. It's simply a case of 'who does my contract say employs me, therefore that's where my primary allegiance is'!

Ok, here's a tweet I put on my account on the 29th of June....
And here's one of your posts from the 29th of June, the same day....
Ooh! How was the flight/were the flights?
Post number 2873 if you need to check it out.
Maybe it was just a lucky guess that I'd happened to catch a flight on the same day?
The players. His job is to have them earn as much as he can. If they arent being paid enough, they fire him. Its not boss fire employee as in a for profit. The players employ him to get the best deals from sponsors, TV, advertising, host courses, so that they get their share of the biggest pie possible, develop the tour to maximise earning potential for pgat members.

We'll have to agree to disagree!
FWIW Players can't sack him directly....That can only be done through the Board, though players have a significant, but minority, representation on that body.
