How much will that add to the budget mate?

We want Hamer to go for as much as possible and they’ll get more as a PL team than a Champ one.

Sheff Utd. Short term pain of seeing O’Hare get promoted counterbalanced by long term gain of seeing O’Hare sit on the bench watching his team lose every week for a year.

Would be about a £50 increase for £1m uplift wouldn’t it?

I’m all posh now, was thinking about a Balcony Bar ST this year. How does that normally work? Are details released the same time as STs? Just worried about missing my ST window and then deciding Balcony Bar isn’t worth it/has got stupidly expensive.

Got to admit it worked out when they score in the last minute and it has “To The End” plastered on all the footage.

The NI cut has really fucked this govt up. It was as cynical a move as you like that Hunt knew we couldn’t afford and Reeves is stupid to promise to keep it. I’ve said this before but when you take into account what most Europeans pay in private health insurance is rolled into our taxes then we...

Or we just raise tax a bit. Ultimately that’s all long term stuff. We have workers now so don’t really need to worry about 2060 just yet. It’s a global issue so not sure migration is a fix. I’m also skeptical of 100 year predictions, anything beyond 5-10 years tends to be mostly guesswork when...

You’ve not paid enough tax to cover your retirement I’m afraid. And more to the point as that’s how it actually works I’m currently not paying enough tax to cover your retirement. And the next generation won’t pay enough to cover mine.

Agree with all of this except he’s 24 next month.

If we actually do want to “start quickly and maintain it all season” as people keep asking we’ll need a squad a similar size to the parachute clubs who manage that. I do wonder what Dougs internal wage cap is. We are some way behind on that even if “only” £40-50m off in squad value.

What the fuck are you on about? My “plan” is to raise taxes across a broad base and spend them now on improved social care. Sorry to say you didn’t come into my thinking once.

Eccles a couple of years back IIRC

Is that “the real divide” outside of a few headbangy Americans?

First proper window I would be at all surprised to see 8-9 in. We brought 7 in last season and that was just adding finishing touches to a squad rebuild started the year before. If we are selling a couple of eight figure players then you take the chance to upgrade the squad when it comes really.

Where’s the fun in that?

Yes. Assuming the taxes stay for twenty years. So bored of people pretending oh if we just sack a diversity officer on £19k a year we can afford the tens of billions we need to fix the system. We need to grow up and accept broad based tax rises if we want things like health and social care.

Prisons is one area you can’t just magically fix quickly. Fundamentally we haven’t built enough prison space for a decade or more and that takes years.

Increasingly feels like MvE and Wright are on their way out this summer. That’s the model, you can’t get too attached, two years is about the most you can expect from quality at this level if you don’t go up. Id imagine Lampard wants money to spend to build the squad in his image. Just need...
