    I think King’s portfolios have performed better and have some headroom due to oil and gas (I think I read somewhere he did well with some oil hedge funds?) Edit...

    You can see why Joy was taken in. He’s obviously name dropped some serious individuals and has created his “Rich Energy” brand via notoriety almost. His logo was a straight copy and therefore the logo / branding didn’t cost too much. The Hoffman link seems to be: Storey: “If I buy the club...

    Lots of repeated strap lines. MR great Invest Plan for future But can’t cover off why he’s suing when deadline passed. Sounds like he’s a brand man who has talked people into investing with others. Started off pretending he had backers until some joined on and the lie became partially true...

    He’s small but not quick or particularly nimble or tricky. Good L1 player at best.

    Match Thread ⚽️ Reading vs Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 10th Dec

    The team looked like it lacked leadership. Allen captain? Gus might have been a better bet - Vik maybe? Not many natural leaders on the pitch. Most of the players played ok, Back 3 ok on the whole. Sheaf had a crack or two from the edge of the box which was good. I’ve often complained that he...

    Zero Chance

    I’m actually concerned that by saying “there is absolutely zero chance of Gyokores is being sold in January” means that we’ve accepted a million or two as a pre-contract exclusivity because he’s going in the summer. “Zero chance” is pretty definite. If someone bid 50m (I know) then unless he’s...

    Yep. Energy companies should get a windfall tax to offset the “weighting / furlough” costs. I also believe we should frack (ducks for cover) and use the proceeds to create a sovereign wealth fund to invest in permanent renewable. Swansea tidal for example. Short term pain long term gain.

    We are in extraordinary financial circumstances. Increased energy costs have caused inflation; increased transport costs due to higher fuel costs for example have meant that pretty much everything costs more - food, clothes, cars and so on. Increased power costs have meant that steel is more...

    Zero Chance

    With our wage bill as it is do you think Gyok has had a decent rise? Should DK stick a huge promotion bonus contract offer in front of the players as his first move?

    Lot of ultra lefties on here and you are living in Hungary right? Recent gf from there and let’s say their views were very “traditionalist”. Any that agree with you on here will be textually set about so will stay silent.

    Mark Robins has a very particular demeanour. Upon learning that his dad was a senior old school Copper it kind of fits in. Mark has got that kind of demeanour IMO. Is it just me that sees that?

    Public sector and private sector wages are linked. Wages for teachers at private schools are loose-linked to state school. Shortage of HGV drivers means wage hikes and people jumping to that career from another. It’s inevitable reality. Many economic theories and forecasts simply miss out the...

    There is a shortage of nurses due to many factors. We used to import many from Portugal for example to cope with higher demand. This however left Portugal with a shortage. Human Resource Piracy is a downside to EU law. Why should the U.K. benefit from the social investment of another country? I...

    Unpopular opinion: It’s not necessarily the people it’s down to policing and the court system. Stretched to breaking point through a backward system and cuts in the wrong areas. Parties take their own voters for granted and Tories think their voters see them as the party for law and order...

    Wage inflation is directly proportional to worker availability. Increased automation will help now, as opposed to the 70’s where there were more people than jobs due to increasing birth rate (60’s was a different boom led by rebuild and falls outside normal economic model). So yes, in simple...

    The whole wage inflation is down to declined birth rate. Once you’ve stopped laughing follow this: The replacement rate is 2.1 births per woman. Replacement rate refers to the percentage of an individual's annual employment income that is replaced by retirement income when they retire...

    Who was the player that Higgs loaned the money for that they ended up taking the half share of the Arena as payment? Ronaldo would have been cheaper in the long run.

    The “range” of £25-£35 might imply some CCFC related set offs for the lost revenue due to postponed games / F&B. The difference being that quantum was to be established so no fixed amount. Can’t think of another reason that a firm figure wouldn’t be bid. Plus “bidder A” suggests first to the...
