It's why, for all the faults of the NHS, I think it's a far better system than private healthcare like the USA. Effectively your right to health is linked to how rich you are, and that is just massively wrong. They can pass laws letting the air you breathe and water you drink be polluted, your...

Yeah, the tax advantages are another great reason to do so. This can change but they tend to want people to invest for retirement so don't mess about too much with the tax breaks (but do from time to time just to see what they can get away with). Think Higher rate tax will be £50k as of next year

Yep - the amount the pension is reduced by when taking the tax free quota is neglible, and given it's tax free is effectively nothing. If you can afford to set it aside and re-invest the tax free sum it's a far better return.

Definitely - the earlier you do it the longer the pot gets invested and the more you get to retire on. No idea how old you are or if you're employed/self-employed but if you're an employee definitely look at a works pension if for no reason than the contributions your employer will make too. Put...

Assuming Burge was informed he would be back-up he wouldn't sign a new deal and look elsewhere - he won't want to go back to a back-up (unless someone offered him really silly money and I can't see that happening). If he signed a contract without being informed and then this kind of deal was...

Everything points to this being a dreary game - probably a goal either way or even 0-0. We can play some nice possession football but unless we put our shooting boots on for once I can just seen them being organised and letting us pass it around. I'd definitely go Meyler/Kelly in midfield to...

MR probably knows that we could improve in terms of the goalkeeping position (well, we could improve in every position really) but it all comes down to money - what Burge wants and what other keepers MR identifies as improvements want. MR could decide to release all three keepers in the summer...

Played out with JR1. This was then just followed up with JR2 from a different angle. If that is rejected next month I wouldn't be in the least surprised if they put forward a JR3 for some completely different reason to continue the process. The 'it will never end' was hyperbole and I think you...

That could be going on for a decade or more. The legal process has played out and SISU. But all they then do is attempt to start it all over again and take it right back to the beginning with 'new information' or arguing a totally different point. Even if SISU won one of their challenges this...

Starting to fill his frame. Kelly and Meyler have filled out their 6'2'' frames. I think Meyler may not last the 90mins, but hopefully he'll do enough during his time on the pitch to tire Luton out and allow Bayliss to come on and concentrate more on his creative talents than fighting a...

Possibly, but if you allow Kelly to play a little further ahead of Meyler he still has enough passing ability to worry Luton he'll put the likes of Thomas, Bright or Hiwula through. But he can also add a greater level of physicality than Bayliss should it be required

He gets dispossessed far easier than most and doesn't win the ball back that often in a midfield tussle. Ok, at least he tries to actually get past his man, but he fails more often than he succeeds.

So you don't think their stance would chance if the ownership changed? I agree that they consider CCFC as SISU (who do after all exert the control over the club and its parent/operating companies) but I don't think it's that they're not willing to help the club, just not while SISU has control...

But didn't they always have the potential back-up of playing at Wembley if necessary? So they did have somewhere they could fulfil the fixture

Fines and points deductions? Probably have to forfeit the game rather than re-arrange a date?

It is usually around times like now his face starts turning up in the media again

Which is why they got a rent deal done last time. During that time SISU have done nothing to try and improve this situation to prevent it occurring again. There has to be a time where you turn around and say "enough is enough". You can turn around to a naughty child and tell them no more, but...

To be honest it's tried all the time. If you read most of the contracts on User Agreements it contains stuff like "you can't hold us liable for such and such" or "you cannot claim damages etc". They're totally unenforceable if the company hasn't fulfilled necessary steps and safeguards. SISU...

You'd need to do a lot of knocking down buildings around there now. Can't be used for this purpose (well, legally I'm sure they could overcome the hurdle if they wanted) but Hearsall Common in that area would probably be big enough (though the local road network might need upgrading, but it is...
