Take your point, but I think wages should be judged against turnover of the club. Problem is, if you include owners’ contributions then if they sell there is no guarantee that the new owner will want to fund losses like the previous owner. The only legal alternative would be for owners to...

At L1 and L2 level, SCMP means you can spend a maximum of 60/55% (depending on league) of your turnover on wages. Seems a lot more diligent down there. Because the Championship follows FFP rather than SCMP, you’re allowed aggregated losses of something like £50m over a three-year period. I’ll be...

You’ll be in the same market as investors who are also benefiting from the stamp duty cut. That will be part of the problem - every investor worth his salt (with a stable income source) will be trying to gear up as much as possible with no chain to take into consideration.

Don’t know the context behind this but I remember Rossi racing at Donington with a broken wrist and broken ribs (or something like that) following qualifying the previous day, so doesn’t strike me as something new. What’s the fuss about?

Have a friend who is an estate agent, says things have been absolutely mad since they re-opened a month back. First hour of Monday morning they had 150 viewings booked - it’s usually that in a week.

We’re obviously miles away from this point, but if they get to a design point I really hope they include the corporate (or at least some of the corporate) in the main stand. That’s one thing I really loved at St Andrews.

Enlighten me.

Agreed, utterly atrocious PMQs.

Fair point. Will have to beat Fulham to stay up. May be that Fulham rest a fair few players for their playoff push.

I think what they mean is Wigan are likely to appeal the decision and then it would be postponed, but unlikely there would be a conclusion to the appeal before the new season starts. Therefore, points deduction carried over to next season. Unless, of course, they don’t appeal.

Bit harsh on him imo. Came into a floundering L1 team at a very young age and in L2 he was a stand-out performer. Hat trick on the opening day spoke volumes. He may well be struggling after 2 years out but he may well have progressed. Conversely, Ponticelli has only stood out at U23 level and...

Reminds me of my little brother’s mate (they’re 10). Bartered with his mum to pay him a tenner to hoover the house, then paid his brother a fiver to do it.

It’s probably a bit slower than average as I’d prefer to be closer to a strike rate of 50. However, if we can post a big first innings score then it gives the bowlers plenty to work with.

Never even heard of Dark Mode til this thread but much prefer it.

That’s the thing. Since the introduction of T20 we seem to have wanted test openers to hit run-a-ball 50s and the like. Good patient batting and accumulation is the answer.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but you’ll have paid up for the season and will be due a refund directly (i.e. nothing to do with the finance company).

It’s possible, though you could ask them to confirm your supporter/ST number? Or request a cheque be issued to the address on file? Can’t imagine there will be too many that take it up. Appreciate not everyone’s circumstances are the same but shouldn’t prove too much of an admin headache for them.

Someone mentioned in one of the other threads that Dennis Politic is looking like he’s going to Blackpool. Can’t see anything on this anywhere. Would love to see one of Politic or Marcus Browne be next on the list, but feel that may be too many AMs in the squad.

Sorted thank you sir.

Yes.
