That's exactly my point. I was arguing how and why you'd do that when for a much lower cost you could just use taxation and incentives.

Making sure we've got enough to lob at our promotion party

It's definitely a typo/error - has to be 3.4%. Would make the new figure just over £1531 a year from £1479. Anyone in WDC confirm that's what it was last year (sounds about right though) EDIT: Unless it means just one small part of the bill is increasing by 34% from about £150 to £200

Ok. Plants and trees absorb CO2 to grow and emit oxygen as a by-product, which we breath. We're chopping down loads of trees, so less of the CO2 is being absorbed while having industrial practices which emit a great deal more CO2. So the amount of oxygen produced is decreasing while the amount...

But they'd be unhatched chickens....

If you like, although I'd recommend an omelette

Not strong enough YET. He needs more time to develop physically. Besides Walsh is incredibly small

It'd be foolish to want that even as a massive Johnson fan. Having an unelectable opposition and practically free reign to do as they please for long periods never turns out well either way. You need an effective opposition to have effective, accountable government.

Super Tuesday didn't back up the Bernie support much, although the swing towards Biden was a bit of a surprise. I think Bernie needs Warren to back down now, esp with Bloomberg gone. Can still see the election turning into a US equivalent of the UK one.

This is the type of game that in the past I'd dread. We're on a decent run, they're on a bad one with injury problems etc - it'd all point to us being complacent, a poor performance and them winning. This season, not so much. The grit of the team is much stronger than I've seen it in decades...

As long as we fight until it is that's fine by me

Yep. I often find that team that do well are those that've largely stayed injury free. Of course we've had major injuries to Jobello, Jones hasn't played a part etc and the rest have been to U23/bit part players. Arguably this is an advantage compared to a series of short-term two-three weeks...

They're open to offers all the time. It's what a buyer is willing to pay and what SISU want. The two are never, and very unlikely ever will be, anywhere near each other. If we go up SISU's price will go up accordingly and buyers will baulk at it. Especially given the stadium situation. If SISU...

Yes, but a lot of that is in interest and accounting smoke and mirrors. What they're owed as actual cash they've put in is a lot less than that.

I agree that they need to spend more time focusing on solutions that just protests. Of course when you start telling people what to do they don't tend to like it. It's not like we've not heard these things from others before (inc. the governments they criticise so much). Whether they'd have...

That's been in there for sometime, caveated with the promise by the owners to put in additional funds if necessary. Just saying that if they don't the club is unlikely to be able to meet it's commitments, which is true and the auditors are duty bound to say as such in their report.

Yeah, really popular apparently. The phones are always buzzing. I'll get my coat.

One of my long term proposals is that you set your percentage of income that you can spend on wages etc so that larger teams with bigger revenues can spend more heavily and thus afford 'better' players on higher wages). Every player on a pro contract gets a basic wage based around 'fixed'...

'SISU' are topping up the cash year on year as necessary. If they stop, we go pop and their investment is worth nothing. When they've got investors on board, either in general or specifically for us, they'd have said a baseline RoI for them. So if they sell, they've got to meet those RoI's or...

Accounts are full of paper figures. Amortisation is literally just a paper figure used to represent assets falling in value over time rather than it being one massive hit when they're sold. TBH Profit/loss isn't an important figure in terms of performance - so many things you can change in...
