The property is in her child’s name. She is effectively the owner of the property because she is an executor of the trust. It’s not even her first rodeo. She was investigated in 2024 for potentially failing to pay capital gains tax on her property. In opposition, she got away with it on a legal...

No issues with owning property at all. It’s the hypocrisy of manipulating her ‘primary residence’ to two local council authorities to avoid reduce her council taxes. Then there’s the issue of removing herself from the deed to reduce her stamp duty bill from 70k to 30k. Considering Rayner’s...

She sold her share of the property to a trust in her children’s name that Rayner is the executor of. As a primary caregiver, she still resides in the property part time with her ex-husband (to be) as they share custody. This is a case of aggressive tax planning, the exact kind that Rayner has...

Some of those character assassinations are indeed ugly. Rayner definitely deserves the heat she’s getting because her entire career has been on taxing ‘the 1%’, yet here she is dodging tax as someone in the top 2-3% of earners. Most ‘tax evaders’ were advised by people to reduce their...

The Angela Rayner debacle is humorous because her behaviour is at complete odds with her politics. She’s a politician who regularly points the finger at tax evasion yet, given the opportunity sought legal advice to avoid a hefty tax bill. It’s hypocritical behaviour and if this was a Tory...

5-3-2 seems inevitable at points this season whenever EMC or Sakamoto get injured. Haji and Simms/BTA upfront would work well, Haji probably works better with Simms in a two than BTA but we’ve not seen much of BTA and Haji as a partnership to be fair. Plan A was to sign a winger but a CB...

It’s the paperwork and transfer deadline day is the busiest period for the people formalising the registration of players. For example, Marc Guehi had all but agreed to join Liverpool before Palace pulled out.

That’s probably the plan for now. It worked well last season at least. The top priority for Jan is wide players and at least it’ll stop people droning on about the need for another striker.

What were people saying about Torp up until this season? 😂 In fact, what about the ‘Haji can’t play upfront in Lampard’s system’ brigade. All the time, people rush to conclusions and year on year, the same bedwetters get made to look foolish. Seriously, when will these people learn?

If anything, the CMs need rebalancing. Allen, Eccles, Grimes and Sheaf were deployed in more or less the same role. Torp does things differently to them and there’s no alternative for him. I still highly rate Sheaf but his attributes isn’t what’s needed. With respect to Allen, he’s 4th choice...

Has it? You’ve got Grimes, Torp, Eccles and Allen. Grimes has missed a handful of games in the last 6-7 seasons. So there’s only the necessity to have a backup plan for Torp/Eccles. It’s mental that people will say we need 5 first team CMs and look at positions like AM and RW/LW and conclude...

Not like SBT to have a meltdown. There’s enough in the squad to get to Jan as it is and maintain high levels. People forget that we’ve bought the stadium so that will limited our manoeuvrability in the transfer market.

The news that we signed Brau broke in the media nearly 2 months before it was announced. People need to get a grip! 😂 The rumours around KKH were also floating around weeks before the deal was announced, irrc.

Pragmatically, it’s unlikely we get anyone else in before the deadline. Thinking ahead to Jan, someone with a similar profile. Often when people talk about ‘cover’ in the sense that someone could play there rather than who actually makes an impact. Actually, if you want continuity in the team...

Off the bat, it’s a better deal than for Hughes to be honest. That was paying PL money for a player with ‘potential’ to be a PL player. Hull just didn’t want to sell because of their situation so they banded about stupid figures.

A midfield 4 of Grimes, Eccles and Torp and Allen is decent. My concern is that Eccles and Allen can ‘cover’ Grimes, but there’s no alternative to Torp for a more creative outlet. Torp himself hasn’t had the best of luck injury wise since he’s joined. Right now, £6.5m is a good deal for Sheaf...

I need to rewatch the goals, particularly the 2nd but gut feeling is that Rushworth is getting blamed harshly. For the first goal, perhaps could’ve parried it differently. That said, the ball did swerve a bit.

It was a frustrating draw. First half, in my view, we were better yesterday than v QPR. We moved the ball with such confidence and everything was slick only to be pegged back by an avoidable goal. Second half, we lost control and struggled to settle in. I’ve said once and won’t be the last...

For starters, Sakamoto and Sheaf probably weren’t 100% so there was a reluctance to risk them. The issue I’ve pointed out a few times this season is that there’s no game changers on the bench. When a game was tied or we’re trailing… who is going to come on and make an impact and get a goal or...

Is that really relevant? Last season we got 0 points v Leeds, 4 points in 23/24. We’ve started stronger and of the 2 games we’ve drawn, we were the better team. We put the ball in the net 4 times in the first half v Oxford and should’ve been out of sight. Oxford scored a decent FK and...
