    Summer transfer window 2024

    I doubt very much doubt Bassette is at the expense of a CM. We have tried to buy at least two that we know of, probably more. Id imagine the bassette deal was because we’ve had our eye on him and had to move quick to stop someone else from buying him. First impressions, I’m glad we did If we...

    Summer transfer window 2024

    He’s was 3.5m upfront, scored 19 last season and by all accounts has had prem interest. You’re a tough man to please evo !

    Surely the only player who should get an assist for BTAs goal is their defender !

    I’ve been saying for years we’ve needed a industrial strategy/workforce plan to ensure we have people trained in the right areas. In very simple terms, over the years we’ve had a flow of cheap available labour which meant there was little incentive for businesses to raise wages, invest in...

    Looking at the stats households occupied by private rents peaked in 2017 and has dropped slightly since. The problem has been population growth (grown by 3m since 2017) and not enough houses being built. What’s happened though is due to the squeeze on available rental stock (as some landlords...

    Summer transfer window 2024

    Not sure about disgrace ! We’ve obviously been trying to get a CM in, shown by offers for Stamenic and Browne (probably been others) but as has been said 100 times before there’s various factors at play, some deals get done, some don’t, but it’s not for the want of trying by all accounts We’ve...

    Agreed. I don’t think you can get away with playing a 10 with three upfront in many games, just get overrun in midfield

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I’ve explained that if people are doing their job I think they should get inflationary payrises (unless totally unaffordable) See my other post about BMA and restricting medical places. Also a large number of junior doctors still trained for the profession in recent years knowing what the pay...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    An example of a condition could’ve been you don’t strike if you get at least inflationary pay rises for the next x years ? Junior doctors could currently strike next year even if they are offered an inflation pay rise Also, this is public money, why wouldn’t everyone want things to improve if...

    Of course it works. They strike if they’re not happy. My issue is does it improve the service and who ends up paying

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Strange analogy but in response if my electricity supply kept cutting off I wouldn’t pay my bill or would expect a discount. If the service was poor I would move to a different electricity supplier. As I said above, I get it, people on here agree with all unions and all their actions. Fair...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I’ve never worked anywhere where pay has been cut but if you’re not doing your job then why should you get a pay rise ?

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I agree with some unions and their conduct, others I don’t. It’s like I agree with how some people run businesses/organisations and others I don’t.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I’ve said before when I was involved in making pay decisions, we’d give inflationary for people just doing their job and above inflation for those going above and beyond (meeting or exceeding objectives and goals). Less than inflation/no payrise if people arent performing or delivering what was...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Where did I mention ruining the economy ? Someone from BMA basically indicated they might just strike next year instead though. This is after striking on the lead up to the election when nobody could agree anything with them anyway (a scummy move in my book). Collective agreements are also...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I said I wasn’t passing comment on either but was just saying it’s not something Cameron would’ve done I have said previously though that I don’t have an issue with the amount so much as the unconditionality of the agreements. A big error in my book and will lead to issues. I don’t think train...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Come on BSB, im not sure Cameron would’ve cut pensioners benefits and offered unconditional deals to a couple of unions as his opening salvo Not passing opinion on either but no chance does that happen

    Cash turnstiles

    Especially midweek after work etc. If it’s pissing it down people just wouldn’t bother buying on the day after yesterday as nobody wants to rush home after work only to wait for 30 mins outside to collect a ticket
