The was a vocal minority who absolutely lost their minds at the idea of 15 minutes cities. You’ve got developers who don’t want to build amenities because there’s no profit in that, councils that can’t afford to and even if you can get round both those problems you’ve got people actively...

Can only really put my own experience but I live in an area where there’s not really any students and the property is not suitable for HMOs. It’s an area that you’d say is traditionally virtual all owner occupied. When I moved here initially I rented while I looked for somewhere to buy. Took...

So it’s not just football you’re always happy and positive about 😂

If if even contains 10% of the shit that happened in his time running WWF / WWE either it will be the end of the company or people will dismiss it as too far fetched.

Apparently ticket sales aren’t great for day 4. Combination of having matches so late in the summer, the ridiculous cost and the chance of little meaningful play past the 3rd day

Not sure this is the type of person I’d want anywhere near government https://www.theguardian.com/business/article/2024/aug/29/peter-hendy-ex-network-rail-chair-threatened-firm-engineer-euston-criticism

Funnily enough one of the first things that came up when I googled to see if this was complete bollocks was how long some carcinogens last on surfaces. It was part of a study where they’d looked how badly children’s heath was being impacted when parents only smoked outside and their exposure was...

Ireland promoter has confirmed prices start from €86.50 + fees. Start from could be the key word there as that could be anything from a couple of rows at the back of the highest tier to ga standing. I fear it may be the former and there will be a lot of people logging on expecting to get...

Are you taking hit rate as a percentage or just a raw number? If it’s the later it’s meaningless with the sheer number of players they have. Also top 5 leagues is an incredibly wide range. If one of our players coming though ended up at Solihull I don’t think many on here would be claiming it...

This is probably why we’re fucked. We will ignore evidence because the vibes feel wrong. Look at the reaction to mention of things like working from home, 4 day week, UBI. I’ve worked for a fair number of SMEs and they’re largely run by people who don’t really know what they’re doing and are...

Sure I’ve read about clubs who have binned off their academies. What do they do to meet the rules?

That’s the issue isn’t it. Money is near impossible to turn down but is anyone actually looking out for what is best for the players career. obviously the flip side for us is we’re not L1/L2 anymore so even players staying are going to struggle to breakthrough and get the minutes they need.

Maybe the players just aren’t seen as good enough to attract attention from the type of clubs that would make it a ‘good’ loan Perhaps clubs need to take a look at the under 23 setup. Not sure that’s been a big improvement on the old days of the reserve league.

This is the problem. They will often what is peanuts to them while being an amount we can’t possibly match. What are the stats on players ‘making it’ after these kind of moves compared to the players who stay put. Probably difficult to tell as you’d need to factor in players ability somehow and...

Something needs to change. People need some hope. We’ve got teenagers now who have known nothing but austerity. Spent their entire lives being told there’s no money and we need to accept some ‘pain’, all while the rich get richer as money flows to the top at an unprecedented rate...

Not striking me as a country where they’re working themselves until they drop tbh, if anything it seems the opposite. If you wander past office blocks around 5pm they’ve already emptied out and locked up. I’m often in the office until 7 or 8pm and I’m sure I’m not the only one. Maybe the...

Under our brilliantly thought out franchise system the taxpayer is on the hook for compensation to the TOCs when there’s a strike. At least when it comes to rail most of the stuff around ‘they won’t agree to modernisation’ or ‘they won’t work Sundays’ is absolute rubbish. There was agreement...

Been in Copenhagen the last few days and now in Aalborg and it’s exactly the same. Offices empty out and people stay out. There’s bars, cafes, restaurants everywhere. People by the waterfront or any piece of open land. It’s such a different vibe. Not sure it would work back home. Take a wander...

I’ve worked at numerous private companies and not once have they tried to link productivity or any other objectives to inflationary pay rises. I did work at one place where they decided to more closely monitor how much work people were doing as a means to push them to do more. Within 6 months...
