Defending NFC West champions San Francisco 49ers have some key decisions to make as the offseason progresses.

Apparently one has already been done. 49ers general manager John Lynch spoke to the media Monday from the site of NFL owners’ meetings in Arizona and indicated that they will pick up the fifth-year option on wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk’s contract for the 2024 season.

This is by no means a surprise. Aiyuk, a 2020 49ers first-round pick, comes off a 2022 breakout campaign for San Francisco. He recorded 78 receptions for 1,015 yards and eight touchdowns while catching 68% of his goals.

If exercised, the 2024 option on Aiyuk’s rookie deal will cost $14.1 million. According to ESPN’s Nick Wagoner, this has led to teams actually calling San Francisco to trade in for the young star receiver. At this point, San Francisco has no real interest in moving Aiyuk.

After back-to-back NFC Championship Game appearances, it makes little sense for San Francisco to lay down one of its most important weapons. However, the question certainly arises as to whether the 49ers can afford to sign Aiyuk long-term.

A grandfather says his future plans were “stolen” after a bank mistakenly told him he could keep £ 110,000 that a stranger accidentally deposited into his account.

Russell Alexander, 54, was surprised to find mysteriously £ 30,000 in his bank account last December. Weird payments kept popping up over time – which resulted in the Sutton, Norfolk craftsman contacting Barclays, who falsely told him the money was his.

In June he bought a new home with his own savings for £ 237,500 and kept the £ 110,000 aside, expecting it to fund major repairs before opening the property as a B&B.

But in September a former client of Mr. Alexander announced that he was the accidental benefactor and Barclays withdrew the money from Mr. Alexander’s account.

A stunned Mr. Alexander said: “I would never have bought” [the house] if I didn’t have the extra money Barclays stole my plans for the future and left me like a stowaway. ‘

He added, “It’s been nine months and they said if I had spent it there was nothing they could do but because I didn’t, they just took it back.”

Russell Alexander, 54, says he stayed out of his pocket after a stranger deposited £ 110,000 in his account and his bank accidentally told him he could keep it

Mr Alexander had planned to use the money to renovate a do-it-yourself house he had bought, but says it has now remained in limbo

“It didn’t make sense to me when the money was just arriving, but I checked with the bank twice and with an accountant – they all said spend it.

“I tore the house to pieces and wanted to use the money to fix it, but now they have taken it back and I have to live in a room in a rundown house.”

Mr Alexander blames the bank and said he now lives in a dilapidated house with no heating and no money to renovate.

Barclays has admitted that the money was mistakenly sent from a different sender – and Mr Alexander was “falsely told that he could keep the money”.

A shocked Mr Alexander added that he was “totally outraged” by the bank’s offer of £ 500 in compensation.

He said, “I’ve been a loyal customer for 40 years and they made it clear to me that I could spend the money twice.

“I planned to renovate the house to rent out rooms on Airbnb, but I have to work now to make the money and it will take years.”

In the house that Russell Alexander bought with the £ 110,000 he accidentally got

Mr Alexander is a former B&B owner himself and ran a hotel business with his ex-fiancée, whom he separated from in March of last year.

He says the debacle over his finances began on December 29, 2020 when a mysterious payment of £ 30,000 with the note “last mother” landed in his account – which meant nothing to the craftsman.

On January 15, he received further payments of £ 30,000 and £ 777. At that point, he checked with Barclays for the amounts, and a few weeks later a bank clerk called to say the transfers looked like direct inheritance payments to him and he could spend them.

Five months later, Mr Alexander bought his own money from a property sale to buy a new house worth £ 237,500. He said he put the pot of mysterious cash aside to help finance the extensive repairs.

Mr. Alexander moved into his project house on June 23rd. His new home has to be completely rewired, the heating and sanitary facilities have to be replaced, as well as the roof and the foundations, he says.

Another £ 50,000 landed in his account in August – bringing the total mystery payment to £ 110,000.

But in September a customer of Mr. Alexander’s former business called him and confessed that he was the one who had accidentally given him the money, and Barclays took the £ 110,000 back.

The bank mistakenly took an additional £ 6,000 from Mr Alexander’s own money which was later returned.

Mr Alexander called Barclays who confirmed they had made a mistake and offered him £ 500 in compensation, he said.

“I have had sleepless nights for weeks because of it. I don’t know what’s wrong with Barclays. You can’t run a bank like that.

“I am disgusted that they treat their loyal customers this way. I did banking with them for 40 years.

“After giving myself the wrong hope for nine months, your £ 500 compensation is a total insult. They make billions of pounds a year.

“It’s been there for nine months and they said if I had spent it there was nothing they could do, but because I didn’t, they just took it back.”

In September, a customer of Mr. Alexander’s former shop called him and confessed that he had given him the money by mistake

A Barclays spokesperson said, “We’re sorry to hear about this customer’s experience.

“It is obvious that the sender of the funds selected the wrong intended recipient from their recipient list when completing the online payment instructions.

A verification page will be displayed for customers to verify that the information entered online is valid and correct before confirming the payment.

‘Unfortunately, when the recipient sought clarification about the unexpected arrival of funds in his account, he was incorrectly told that he could keep the funds.

“The funds were then withdrawn from the account based on a claim from the original sender.

“However, due to our mistake, an additional £ 6,000 over the intended amount received was incorrectly removed. This will be refunded to our customer together with lost interest. ‘

They urged customers to report unexpected funds immediately and to regularly delete one-time payees from the app or online banking.

SAN FRANCISCO (BCN) – San Francisco city officials tasked with leading the city’s COVID-19 response said Thursday that an unstable vaccine supply could stifle those plans, even though the city is on track, everyone Vaccinate residents by June.

During a hearing on the city’s vaccination distribution in the Board’s Public Safety and Neighborhood Services Committee, Mary Ellen Carroll, executive director of emergency management for the San Francisco Emergency Management Department, said the city had successfully vaccinated thousands of residents at its three mass vaccination sites.

To date, approximately 285,000 people have been vaccinated at the Moscone South location, while more than 60,000 people have been vaccinated at the San Francisco City College location and more than 30,000 at the SF Market location in the Bayview District.

“We wanted, and I think we are very proud, to put these high-volume websites in places that were really accessible to people all over the city and especially in areas where COVID was prevalent,” she said. “This was really a partnership not only with our health care providers but also with employees from across the city in the many, many different departments that have participated. “

So far, 66 percent of Franciscans over 16 have received at least their first dose of vaccine.

According to Naveena Bobba, assistant director of the San Francisco Department of Health, the city has deployed mobile vaccination clinics in underserved areas such as high-case neighborhoods, senior housing areas, single-unit hotels, and prisons to ensure equitable access to the vaccine.

“We currently use one or two mobile teams every day. We could upscale that, the big problem is we don’t have the supplies, ”said Bobba. “Mobile immunization has been used in Tenderloin, South of Market, Treasure Island, Mission, Bayview, Chinatown and Nob Hill to name a few, and teams are out all over town. The greatest challenge here is the vaccine supply and the future state of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. “

The Federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration are currently reviewing the use of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine based on reports of patients getting blood clots.

Efforts to reach other vulnerable populations such as the homeless include equipping clinics that provide the vaccine to homeless patients and deploying mobile vaccination teams in places such as sleeping places, shelters and homeless camps. To date, more than 1,500 homeless San Franciscans have been vaccinated.

As early as January, at the start of the COVID-19 vaccine rollout, the city’s Ministry of Health expected that practically every Franciscan would be vaccinated by June.

“I think we are on the right track. Supply problems are our biggest obstacle and we have the least control over them, ”said Bobba.

“We really built this system and continue to build it where we see gaps. However, as long as the supply is there and there aren’t any major other issues with the vaccine, we’ll be able to say that until the end. In June, the vaccine reached a place where anyone who wants it should get it or be offered it. But here too I would like to point out that the supply has been very unstable, but these are forecasts by the federal government that we are relying on, ”she said.
