Absolutely appreciate what you’re saying, but I did get a small ‘bonus’ from my employer. Extra day’s holiday (doesn’t have to be used this year) as well as being able to claim a takeaway for the family on expenses. Know that I’m lucky considering some of the circumstances out there.
Certainly locally, the housing market is fairly buoyant. There will be important considerations like job security on your ability to meet repayments, but I wouldn’t expect that to be too much trouble for you as a teacher.
Also depends on the equity stake in your property as to how you approach...
Also raises the issue that some restaurants may have been intending to close/operate reduced staffing during the week but may now have to employ more (and this spend more of their cash) in the hope this scheme pays off.
Pretty underwhelming announcement all things considered.
The VAT cut is a marginal help, essentially a 12.5% price cut for hospitality and leisure. Is that going to spur people on to go away/go out? Who knows. Nice offer but is it significant enough?
Bonus for employers bringing their staff...
And hence why they couldn’t raise finance through traditional means.
Their last decade has been an absolute mess. From struggling to fill Adams Park, what have them the conviction to think a stadium the size of the Ricoh would even half-fill consistently? Considering the price differential...
You’d have to think the price at this time would be at least the £35m bond secured against it, otherwise the security would become unenforceable. In theory, yes it is saleable. In practice, no buyer would go near it.
I’m surprised other clubs at Champ level would be that interested. Don’t get me wrong, really like him as a player, but he wasn’t the shining star of someone like Walsh. Suppose as he’s free there are more clubs willing to take a punt and see how it goes...and I think I’ve just answered my own...
From what I can see he’s spent half the season injured.
Also see Marcus Browne has scored for Oxford. Would be a good alternative/complement to O’Hare.
There was another coach pulled in, just got on it and kept my head down. Was one running from a pub around Stoke Heath area. Pissing down with rain and phone had ran out of battery, so ended up walking to the Ricoh to get a lift home.
That’s a good shout actually. Actually at Middlesbrough now and has 3 years remaining on his contract, but with the fact there’s been a change of manager (Warnock) he may be available and probably wouldn’t command a hefty fee. Someone we’ve been linked with before so it’s possible.
Edit: having...
