Christian Eriksen sees Rangers as a transfer 'draw' with 49ers ready to fulfil recruitment pledge
The Denmark international remains without a club after leaving Manchester United at the end of last season Rangers would be a "draw" for Christian Eriksen this summer as he the free agent weighs up his next move. The former Manchester United playmaker is on the lookout for a new club after leaving Old Trafford at the end of last season. Murmurs have lingered throughout the summer that the new owners at Ibrox, 49ers Enterprises, could make a move for the experienced Dane. However, cash-rich English Championship side Wrexham have reportedly made their move to make the 33-year-old the latest big name added by Hollywood owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney. But former Red Dragon's striker Matt Jensen has told Eriksen that a move to the Scottish Premiership would be the better move - if Russell Martin 's men can navigate the Champions League qualifiers. He told OLBG: " Rangers are a huge club and they've got Champions League football. So that's probably a bigger draw. "I think it would take an awful lot of money for Wrexham to sign Eriksen. I know they have a lot of money, but do they have that much? "If he wants English football he should go to Wrexham but it depends on personal circumstances and whether he's happy to move. If he is, I would say Rangers were a stronger option. "Even with Eriksen, I've got Wrexham down to struggle next season. There is a lot of quality in the Championship and it's a massive step up. "Every league is a step up, but League One to Championship in particular is a very big step. "It's always difficult when a player is reaching those golden age years and coming towards the end of his career. "Then you have the expectation levels, because he'll be nowhere near as good as he once was in his prime. Again if Wrexham are going to struggle next season, is that going to suit the type of player that Eriksen is?" A blockbuster deal could fulfil one of the US owners early promises to the shareholders - with a "surprise" said to be on the cards. Speaking at Rangers EGM, Paraag Marathe of 49ers Enterprises - who now own the Glasgow giants alongside pharmaceutical tycoon Andrew Cavenagh - promised shareholders that there would be names emerging that would raise the eyebrows of fans. He said: "If we share who we're targeting that players becomes more expensive. It's best for you all if we surprise you with the players we bring in!"

Your landlord may be breaking the law if they don't follow one deposit rule
Rent is the largest cost of your monthly income – so it's important to make sure you do everything you can to keep costs down as a tenant. Try these tips and hacks to reduce your rental costs, and make sure you get your deposit back when you move out. Know your deposit rights By law, there is an upper limit to how much your rental deposit can be. That is a maximum of five weeks' rent for annual rent under £50,000 and six weeks' rent for over £50,000. In Northern Ireland, the limit is one month's rent. If you are asked to put down a holding deposit, this must be refundable and a maximum of one week's rent. You also cannot be charged application fees for things like credit checks. You may be charged an administration fee for altering the contract mid-tenancy, such as to add another tenant but this is capped at £50 or 'reasonable costs' if extensive changes are needed. On top of the limits, the landlord must put it into a registered tenant deposit protection scheme within 30 days. If they don't, and don't send you confirmation details, you have a right to reclaim the full deposit regardless of any claims on it. You may also be able to claim up to three times' the amount of the deposit in small claims court, should your landlord not return it at the end of your tenancy. Keep an eye out for rental scams In areas where rental properties are in high demand, scams are common. This could be: Someone renting an Air BnB, taking 'holding deposits' from several people to 'view' and disappearing with the cash Someone taking full deposits, seeming like they approve the tenant, give a move-in date… along with several other people Overcharging deposits and charging fees Subletting on a lease where it is not permitted (this gives you no tenant rights) Always check the company information for the property if you can. Either the landlord name or property should come up in a search on Companies House and other organisations – if it doesn't, this is a red flag. If it's a private landlord, make sure you do thorough searches on their name and reputation if possible. Ask to speak to previous tenants, too – any landlord reluctant to do so is a red flag. Decorate wisely Decorating as a rental tenant can help you feel more at home. However, ensure you use rental-friendly items such as Command Hooks that leave no trace on walls, or opt for items that don't attach to walls. Lampshades, table lamps, cushions, throws, and your bed linen can all add a personal touch to your home without risking damage to your rental. If you really want to decorate, either get the landlord's permission in writing, or use things like removable vinyl tiles for kitchen splashbacks and cupboards, and take them off before the end of the tenancy. Invest in a cleaner While most people get an end-of-tenancy cleaner in to make sure they get their deposit back, consider arranging a monthly deep clean instead. The cost can be reasonable, and it will save you a lot of time in the long run as it prevents those small annoying jobs from building up. When was the last time you washed your skirting boards? Exactly. A monthly deep clean keeps your rental in top condition, reducing wear and tear caused by things like mould and mucky build-up. Install a water meter Tenants with a contract for more than six months have a right to request a water meter from the water company. The exception is if you live in a House of Multiple Occupation (HMO), which is where you have a separate tenancy to other people in your home and rent a room or studio flat with shared entrances and communal areas. Your landlord cannot usually refuse to give permission, but it is polite to let them know the property will be metered because once this happens it can't be reversed. There are very limited reasons a landlord can use to refuse a meter, such as the cost of installing one due to digging up the garden to get to the relevant pipe. A water meter could save you hundreds of pounds per year, as you pay only for the water you use instead of a blanket estimated amount. Change electricity and gas supplier If your name is on the utility bill, you have a right to switch supplier. This means you can shop around to find the tariff that suits you best, and that could save you hundreds every year. Some landlords try to keep bills in their name. If this is the case, ask for a breakdown of costs and visibility over the bill. If you want, try doing a comparison on the current price versus the tariff and work with your landlord to switch to a cheaper tariff. Don't be fooled into a broadband contract Do not – do NOT – take on someone else's broadband contract. If a tenant is moving out and tries to get you to switch to keep the same broadband account at the address, refuse. There are two reasons for this. First, it doesn't give you the opportunity to shop around to find the best deal. Second, they may have built up arrears on their account and leave you with debts to pay. They should contact the broadband provider to inform them of their move. Your own broadband is your responsibility – either move your existing provider if you're still in contract, or set up a new one. Don't take on a stranger's previous contract! Be aware of the break clause Make sure you know when and where the break clause is in your tenancy agreement. This is the period in which the landlord – or you – can give notice of your intention to end the tenancy. You cannot be served notice to leave the property before the break clause. This guarantees you a minimum time to stay in the property, even if the landlord changes their mind and wants to sell up or get you out. There are many rights surrounding notice periods and evictions, such as being served a correct Section 21 notice. For example, a Section 21 issued after a break clause is invalid if it was served at a time there was no valid gas safety certificate on the property. Shelter has a lot of useful information about tenant rights, evictions, and deposit claims. Negotiate rent rises Finally, if you like where you are currently renting but have been issued notice of increased rent, try to negotiate with your landlord before making decisions about moving. Point out to them that finding new tenants comes at a cost to them (as they must pay credit check and application fees), and that you've been reliable tenants during your time at the property. Some landlords may wish to retain reliable tenants if they can guarantee a longer tenancy – though avoid anything over a couple of years. Always try to keep communication open between yourself and your landlord, as it can make a big difference in keeping your rent rises down.

Inside charming seaside village where Londoners are flocking to work from home
Ogmore-by-Sea in South Wales has been named the best place in the UK to work from home, with a growing number of remote workers heading to the charming village Ogmore-by-Sea has become the UK's prime location for remote working, attracting ex-Londoners with its stunning sea views, top-notch broadband, and a lifestyle that perfectly blends work and leisure. The picturesque village on the Glamorgan Heritage Coast has been named the ultimate spot for home workers, thanks to a study evaluating housing affordability, internet connectivity, and proximity to nature. Residents of Ogmore-by-Sea aren't shocked by this recognition, as many have chosen to return here after years in the capital, drawn back by the rise of telecommuting. Local cafes are thriving from the influx of people working remotely, a trend that has only grown since the onset of the pandemic. Lee Davis, who once sought the excitement of cities such as London and Manchester, resettled in the nearby village of Wick five years ago. As someone in steel sales, Lee relishes the ability to work from his house, sharing: "I often work from home so I can have interludes like taking my friend's dog, Fudge, for a walk." He appreciates the serenity that contrasts with urban life, stating: "You can switch off completely - it chills me out. I can't stand the place; the Tube, the people, the stress. I wanted to come back somewhere tranquil." For Lee, Ogmore-by-Sea epitomises the idyllic balance between professional duties and personal relaxation, reports MyLondon. Ffion Hughes, an employee at The Welsh Coffee Company, her uncle's coffee shop, has noticed a trend: "We usually do get a lot of people working from here, mostly in the morning. As soon as Covid hit, so many people came here, it was crazy." Nico Gibbs from Hilary and Iain's Kitchen nearby, is thankful for the surge of remote workers frequenting their establishment. He said: "People are here for hours and hours which is nice. They get to look at the beach and most of them order breakfast, then they will have a coffee. We are happy to let them stay as long as they want." Yet, the growing popularity with telecommuters has occasionally overwhelmed their internet service. Nico admitted: "We do give out the WiFi password - but sometimes it gets too busy to give it out." John Sinden who swapped London for seaside village life in 2018 and now works remotely as a biotech executive, praised the local setup. He said: "People are friendly here and everything works, like the public transport. It is a lovely location, close to the sea and with coastal paths in walking distance." Deb Clarke is firmly rooted in Ogmore-by-Sea and after returning five years ago, she's adamant about staying put, saying: "It is so close to the coast and close enough to Swansea and Cardiff." Working from her home as a scenic artist, Deb juggles her career with looking after her one-year-old Cavapoo, Melyn, relishing the mix of seaside living and travel for work. John Davis shares the enthusiasm of those drawn back to their hometowns, having resettled in the area six years ago. He observed: "A lot of people came during Covid. People wanted to leave towns and cities." He also remarked on the influx of younger faces due to new housing projects, with census figures showing a population jump from 878 in 2011 to 1,354 in 2021. The village has been praised for its vibrant year-round community, quaint local pub, access to boutique shopping and "excellent" retail options, according to a recent study. The same report notes an average property price of £517,000 and boasts of ultrafast broadband, convenient train links to London, and the proximity to Cardiff.
