I’m actually concerned that by saying “there is absolutely zero chance of Gyokores is being sold in January” means that we’ve accepted a million or two as a pre-contract exclusivity because he’s going in the summer. “Zero chance” is pretty definite. If someone bid 50m (I know) then unless he’s...

Yep. Energy companies should get a windfall tax to offset the “weighting / furlough” costs. I also believe we should frack (ducks for cover) and use the proceeds to create a sovereign wealth fund to invest in permanent renewable. Swansea tidal for example. Short term pain long term gain.

We are in extraordinary financial circumstances. Increased energy costs have caused inflation; increased transport costs due to higher fuel costs for example have meant that pretty much everything costs more - food, clothes, cars and so on. Increased power costs have meant that steel is more...

As a pilot? Do you prefer your left wing or right wing?

With our wage bill as it is do you think Gyok has had a decent rise? Should DK stick a huge promotion bonus contract offer in front of the players as his first move?

Lot of ultra lefties on here and you are living in Hungary right? Recent gf from there and let’s say their views were very “traditionalist”. Any that agree with you on here will be textually set about so will stay silent.

That’s actually quite witty.

Mark Robins has a very particular demeanour. Upon learning that his dad was a senior old school Copper it kind of fits in. Mark has got that kind of demeanour IMO. Is it just me that sees that?

Public sector and private sector wages are linked. Wages for teachers at private schools are loose-linked to state school. Shortage of HGV drivers means wage hikes and people jumping to that career from another. It’s inevitable reality. Many economic theories and forecasts simply miss out the...

There is a shortage of nurses due to many factors. We used to import many from Portugal for example to cope with higher demand. This however left Portugal with a shortage. Human Resource Piracy is a downside to EU law. Why should the U.K. benefit from the social investment of another country? I...

Unpopular opinion: It’s not necessarily the people it’s down to policing and the court system. Stretched to breaking point through a backward system and cuts in the wrong areas. Parties take their own voters for granted and Tories think their voters see them as the party for law and order...

Wage inflation is directly proportional to worker availability. Increased automation will help now, as opposed to the 70’s where there were more people than jobs due to increasing birth rate (60’s was a different boom led by rebuild and falls outside normal economic model). So yes, in simple...

The whole wage inflation is down to declined birth rate. Once you’ve stopped laughing follow this: The replacement rate is 2.1 births per woman. Replacement rate refers to the percentage of an individual's annual employment income that is replaced by retirement income when they retire...

Who was the player that Higgs loaned the money for that they ended up taking the half share of the Arena as payment? Ronaldo would have been cheaper in the long run.

The “range” of £25-£35 might imply some CCFC related set offs for the lost revenue due to postponed games / F&B. The difference being that quantum was to be established so no fixed amount. Can’t think of another reason that a firm figure wouldn’t be bid. Plus “bidder A” suggests first to the...

Expressing keenness drives asking price up. Expressing indifference whilst distressing the seller might be the tactic.

Big Mike must have pinched Ryton groundstaff for the CBS. He gave them a Pierre Cardin t shirt and a Sports Direct mug with an exclusivity clause which meant they could go anywhere else.

B was Richardson? £38m pays off Bondholders, gets P Share and stadium and carries on after dropping much of the other debt. Rugby PL scuppered.

The idea had merit. Had that been communicated properly and / or CCFC been given chance to own the other half of ACL and pitch pressure reduced by having youth / reserve / JPT cup whatever elsewhere then animosity might have been less. Unfortunate that SISU / Wasps / CCC didn’t have a drink of...

Unpopular opinion: Delapidations allegedly running at £1m per year open. Ok. Not all stadium and not all realistic. Even if stadium delapidations are half, our rent doesn’t cover that plus power and finance costs. If a mediator got involved even then it’d be difficult to argue the case for...
