Both left and right have difficulties because different elements of their core support have different views on immigration A lot on the liberal left are happy with open borders and also appreciate that more migrants are likely to support/vote for them. The further/more socialist left worry...

In an ideal world he wouldn’t have wanted to have lost him on the last day or two of the window but it was Palmer/his agent who forced the move and reckon Robins was happy enough to see him go

If I was being pedantic id say that you need to start those figures from H2 2010 or 2011 earliest when the Tories/coalition came to power and had the chance to impact data. There was a big drop in real earnings following the financial crisis which was under the Labour government, albeit this...

Artificially encouraged surge pricing* can also now be added to the prior ticketmaster/oasis mr meaners ! *by withholding additional dates

I’d imagine it’s more likely lower base salary with upside for appearances rather than solely PAYP. Would be more justifiable if James hadn’t played 40 games last year ! (Unless he’s got an injury issue we’re aware of) Let’s all not get too wound up on rumours though. I doubt anyone knows the...

We also all know we made several attempts to sign a CM, by all accounts had a loan lined up who got injured before window shut and also turned down offers for sheaf. It’s not like we haven’t been trying to strengthen this area. Some appear oblivious to this though

I’s be happy with the signing and hope it happens. The point was that everything else appears to be forgotten by some fans unless we manage to get James in. Just all feels OTT

Now all over X. Our entitled fanbase will have their pitchforks out if James doesn’t sign. Forget the 40m spent over the past 18 months, the attempts to bring in a big CM signing in over the summer, the rejected bids of our top players, the improvements behind the scenes /infrastructure and the...

I dont doubt the gist of saddles post but things have maybe been presented in a certain way. As you say, Browne was stepping outside ‘the model’ and I’ve already posted about ‘aversion to loans’, we had two last year that didn’t play regularly and tried to sign another one this summer. Parent...

Im sure it’s far easier to secure loans of young players when there’s a likelihood of them starting most games. We now have a lot more strength in depth and most fans acknowledged any additional players signed were likely back ups Last season we had ayari who was lightweight and got sent back...

He’s an important player though and the 45m has been spent trying to rebuild a whole squad. The best players will still always be missed. We were very lucky Gyokeres was hardly out during our run to the play offs in the second half of 22/23 season, same with Hamer. Either probably would’ve...

I don’t look at it quite like that. He’s probably worth 10m now, more without injury problems and he’s our captain. That’s the player we’re missing, not the lad we signed 4 years ago. Take a 10m player out if most championship teams and apart from the ex Prems they’re likely to notice I still...

I don’t disagree. I was just saying I don’t think it will material impact the growth numbers…although will obviously suck a little bit out of economy Also agree about people accelerating sales due to concerns about CGT, I was talking about people sitting tight in terms of investment/growth...

Couldn’t quite believe it myself but true https://www.royaltyexchange.com/blog/sony-set-to-purchase-queens-music-catalog-for-1-2-billion#:~:text=The%20Royalty%20Exchange%20Advantage,catalogs%20have%20become%20lucrative%20assets. Would imagine Noel could get 100-200m maybe more after recent...

Yeah, basically selling off all income from records, downloads, streams etc

I think that chats now out of date. Not pretty but not as pronounced. Gap was also due to narrow further with Europe this year as our growth has been higher than anticipated Agree that the winter fuel allowance changes won’t change things at all. The government do need to be careful not to...

Wow ! Amazing ! There’s a company that’s buying up loads. Queen recently got paid £1Bn 😳

Yeah, let’s be honest the whole thing is a bit of a money grab. I was reading yesterday that Noel gets full ownership of the music rights next year so getting interest built, streams up etc is perfect timing for a sale to a royalty company That being said, still can’t wait 🤷‍♂️ Theyd do well...

Technically very good. Agree with others about where he’s currently playing. I think it was in the pre season where he was the one picking it up off the defenders and dictating play and he looked good doing it. Would personally have had Torp the furthest forward of Rudoni, Eccles and Torp. Like...

It’s been poor but I’m talking about people throwing our stats to suit their position/negative agenda We’ve also had Saddle saying Eccles was ranting at the bench and wanted to be subbed off yesterday and GIMOC saying sheafs out for six weeks (when hopefully he’ll miss one game) over the past...
