So frustrating. It’s not even like Woakes is a serial offender either, first one this innings apparently 🤦‍♂️. Hope it’s not costly but already painful

Not quite

From what we’ve seen to date I’d be shocked if king wasn’t looking at this closely. He appears to want to maximise all revenue streams and this would obviously be one of those areas. A lot then depends on police etc though I guess

What a catch from Bairstow and over from Woakes ! Could be massive as marsh was looking in great nick again.

Great effort by broady to get 600 wickets ! Decent start to test by England on good pitch. Need marsh out quick though !

Very dangerous from set pieces both in terms of goal threat and to players on both sides

Not sure I’ve seen anyone who wants Hamer to go, more just the reality that if he doesn’t sign a new deal we’ve got no choice but to sell. I’m still hoping we can agree a new deal with a fair release clause allowing him to leave next summer for around say 15m if we don’t get promoted. If he’s...

Said before, I’d be tempted to have Stokes coming in at 3 especially if he’s not bowling but Ali’s up for it so worth a crack

I presume it all ties in with stokes/McCullum giving players clarity so they’re fully prepared. Also guessing they’re pretty sure what the pitch will be like Happy enough with team* Could’ve argued for Tongue if it was another ground but hopefully Jimmy at home will deliver *out of squad...

Foreign direct investments is a pretty good barometer of our attractiveness though. Think we’ve been No 2 for the past few years. Agree there has been a decline since 2016 but my point was that doesn’t make us unattractive…less attractive fair enough I’m actually surprised we are that high...

I was just highlighting that I thought the comment was incorrect. Don’t disagree that there’s plenty of challenges ahead

Not sure that last statements quite true. Could we be more attractive to invest in, of course….maybe drop CT by half to irelands level although I’m not sure now is quite the time to be slashing CT, or agree to follow EUs agri/food/veterinary standards which I’m sure would help little. There is...

I wonder if it’s because a fair few people lose most of the property value when they have to cover their social care ? I’m not a massive fan of IHT but agree, now is not the time to be cutting the tax take from it. Have it as a longer term goal to raise the starting threshold by all means...

Agree with a lot of that. I still have a confidence in the country as a whole (ever the optimist !), however, nobody appears to have a clear longer term vision for the country, let alone a strategy/plan to get there. With different factions of both major parties also having to be placated and/or...

Strip out the gambling firms and there’s a lot of shat. At least the average man on the street will have heard of KoS. If they’ve offered more than alternative best offer then don’t see any issue at all. Poor not having it sorted in time to get kit out for season though

Spot on. As long as he’s paid going rate I’m good with that. Looks decent

Joking apart, I’ve still not seen the reasons as to why there was government borrowing on inflation linked bonds rather than just raising it like normal on the gilt market. Anyone know ? Some of the decisions appear shambolic ! Ps having said that I saw USAs debt servicing cost went up to 650bn...

Need someone with a real growth plan to save the day….

I think he meant if the last three sentences in that translation are suggesting Sporting have paid Brighton their sell on direct*, that would gross it up to around a £19m deal *if that’s what solidarity payment to third party clubs means

Looks like agents plus ‘solidarity mechanism due to third party clubs’ is €2m. Presume that’s Brighton ? edit - hard to tell if they’ve combined those two things or not
