    House Renovations - Hints / Tips / Recommendations

    I purchased a project and it was great fun and exciting yet massively challenging and stressful. I needed to do everything, you name it, it needed doing, replaced every joist in the house due to either woodworm or rot, the floor in one corner of the room had completely collapsed due to the rot...

    Excellent post, I think I will completely avoid it, it's not something I would feel completely comfortable with, going to swap a bit for my holiday money and that's it. Just need to get the gyms open so I can get the body ready for Copacabana beach.

    Has anybody got an experience will trading currencies?? I was looking at trying to get some holiday money for when we're allowed out and noticed that the Brazilian Real price has dropped significantly in the previous couple of years. Going from around 4BRL/1GBP to now 7.5BRL/1GBP. Anybody got...

    Strengthening in the summer

    Assuming we sign James and Ostigard, and keep the bulk of the current squad. Players like Shipley, Allen and Sheaf need to be moved on. 2x AM - Preferably pacey. 1x - target man. 1x LWB 2x - CB

    Jodi Jones

    The club have a duty towards the player to look after him while he's injured. What's strange about putting him through rehab?

    Jodi Jones

    Nice to see him back training, but personally I think we should cut our losses with him, I'm guessing he'll likely receive a new deal though which needs to be weighted heavily in the clubs favour.

    Biamou - new contract

    Maybe, are players insured individually or as a group? If it's individually, It must be close to the point now where no one will touch him and if they do, the premiums would be so expensive it wouldn't be worth it.

    Players out of contract

    I'd only offer deal to Hyam, Fadz & Kelly. In reality, if we are to progress, they should all be looking at dropping down into backup rolls. If we can sign Ostigard, I still think we need at least 1 more centre back. I wouldn't offer Jones a new deal, mainly as he now hasn't played regularly...

    Biamou - new contract

    I would Biamou is closer to 4k then 1k (more likely 2.5-3k). I'm basing it on an initial average L2 wage, 2 promotion wage rises, new contract while in L1 (rise) and 3 yearly incremental wage rises. Jones wage rises would follow a similar path imo. Truth is we're never going to know what they...

    Biamou - new contract

    Wouldn't be surprised to hear that Baka is on more then that alone. We paid 200K for him, so he'd probably have been on roughly 2.5k when he first signed, would have had a pay rise for going into his second year then hes part of a promotion squad and we trigger the extension clause in his...

    Biamou - new contract

    Complete waste of money if we do, between Jones, Baka & Biamou we must be spending 10k a week in wages on 3 players who offer very little, Personally would get rid of those 3 and replace with a half decent target man for this level.

    When I first started investing, I was given a great bit of advice and it's always stuck with me, When the Postman is giving you investment advice about a specific company, it's time to sell. I'm sure a lot got their fingers burnt with this and put them off for life, I just hope it wasn't too...

    Tonight’s games

    It was obvious to see Giles isn't a LWB, I'd have gave him a run of games along side O'Hare to see what he could do.

    Yes thanks, in truth, I was getting a bit lonely being alone at home all the time after work so got a few other jobs to ease the boredom.
