Cant disagree with this. My heart is saying we should’ve stuck with Carsley (if he fancied it), let him bring all the kids through and even if it didn’t pan out at the World Cup it would be set up for the next manager. My concern with Tuchel is if he just takes a very short term approach (WTF is...

Nonsense. Increasing the personal allowance is the best thing for the poorest who work. You can tweak higher rates to compensate The richest already start losing their personal allowance the more they earn though. ‘As your income increases above £100,000, your personal tax allowance, or the...

If anyone wants to see something impressive check out what happened at the end of the Chiefs drive just before HT last night. Quality by Butker/chiefs Only saw YouTube highlights but Mahomes did some usual magic stuff. Herbert also looked very good

I try to avoid this thread recently but I’ve got to call out this continued social media BS about the government being centre right, in what appears some attempt to say, we need a ‘proper left wing’ government. They increased taxes by something like £40bn pa and planned increased borrowing of...

Agree it’s not a sackable offence. She’s shown herself to be a hypocrite and not the brightest though….same as many politicians before her.

They might be OTT with it over there but you’ve just highlighted how that underlying positivity/support isn’t reflected here, in fact it’s the opposite. A very small example is I know my local boozer like a lot of other places does money off food for nhs,,teachers etc but no mention of military...

That doesn’t reflect my experience over there over the years, where I have met people who genuinely seem to love their country. There’s also the lot who chant ‘USA, USA’ at everything but I’m not talking about them. If you’ve seen or experienced different then so be it but can only take it as...

That’s incorrect about the USA. I’ve been to various towns and cities across America over a number of years and noticed that they are just far more patriotic than us. They play the national anthem before every sports game/event (certainly the ones I’ve been to), there is a far greater...

Gone a bit far with the Villa flag

Think he’s in commodities/rapeseed oil. SISU were a hedge fund and we were stuck with them for 15 years. I agree kings unlikely to be here long term but in the meantime he’s trying to run the club as sustainably as possible and the only way to do this is player trading

I reckon it’s come from king. Whether it was partly to prepare for the stadium purchase (which I guess would also involve external borrowings) or to cover losses, unsure

I wouldn’t be surprised if we go 5 at the back if grimes got injured

Yeah. Sheaf wasn’t in the first 11 and had injury problems over the past 18 months. MvE is still our best RB and plays every week. I could only imagine the meltdown if we’d sold MvE yesterday as well

Agree with all that. I bet we still turned down some offers for MvE though, either too low earlier in the window or too late to do anything.

and were moaning when we didn’t do a hull and throw loads of money at short term signings/loans in that January the same hull who are now apparently financially fucked

King obviously wants us as sustainable as possible in the meantime. Anything else is just gambling on promotion

I might well be wrong but I reckon they were trying to get someone else in right upto the deadline but knew it was unlikely and wanted the release news of a new signing to be positive ending to the day (so held back Woolfenden confirmation). In the end it just pissed everyone off

Exactly. It was only a couple of weeks ago when we didn’t own the stadium and some were shitting the bed expecting Rudoni to be sold to Southampton If someone had told me at the start of the summer that we’d have got £10m for Binks and sheaf, strengthened RB area and CB, got a keeper in to...

Yeah, I was talking about players coming through

We’ve got Obikwu, Andrews and Perry which is better than for a while. Also Dausch although playing at a lower level so guessing less likely to progress albeit he looked decent when he made his debut. Sometimes young players just need a run in the team to kick on which they’ll never do here if...
