You’re right. The money we’ve spent on the players we will double or even triple our money if we manage things right. We’re not in control of these events, if we have to let a player or two go to bring in the 8 or so player we need, then it’s a trade we need to make.

Namely, that we are a better team now than then.

Use of PFI, at the time, was to alleviate the burden of government actually funding projects. The government doesn’t have the cash it’ll borrow from the bond markets and so on. PFI transfers the risk to the private sector and alleviates the need for government to raise capital. That was the...

I’m sorry Fern, but first those two sentences contradict one another. We agree that PFI has been a failure, that isn’t the point. It’s the rationale behind the policy is because the traditional funding method is expensive and doesn’t look good on the country’s balance sheet.

That’s a rather naive point of view. A lot of the issues in the NHS today stem from PFI which was introduced by Blair. This was a policy designed to make the running of the NHS more sustainable. Again, as far back as the last Labour government, the sustainability of the system was a concern. The...

Agreed, the club should act in good faith and let him go for a reasonable price. Additionally, we need to be more forward thinking and get a player who’s capable of impacting games from the bench if Wright and Simms are the starters. Godden was rarely able to impact the game from the bench and...

I for one, agree. One of my first posts on this topic said that there’s a lot of pressure on Labour to fix the NHS in the next 1-2 parliaments before there’s a serious national conversation on how fund healthcare. There’s an assumption that Labour will come in and just like that, it’ll be...

You’re right because he’s not going to in Government or Opposition come July 5th. UKIP, Farage specifically, got the Brexit debate into the mainstream as all the mainstream parties were predominantly Remainer parties pre-2016. It’s almost the job of fringe parties to pull Labour or Tory to the...

Serbia have just battered Sweden too… 😭

Do you trust Kier Starmer when he said he wouldn’t send a family member to a private hospital who was on a NHS waiting list and in need of surgery? His answer was revealing.

Why do you have to make things so personal? Not every leader of a political party adopts all of their personal opinions as party policy - they have an election to win. As for Farage, he’s not going to be in government so has the freedom to say things without needing to implement anything.

I’m just hoping that Shaw is fit and raring to go by the KO rounds. Trippier is a good fullback, but his need to put it on his right foot is killing some of our attacking patterns. Is there a reason Chilwell was not in the 26? I’m not going to panic over a low stakes friendly, win the group...

There’s a difference between your personal views and what you get elected to do. Thatcher admitted she wanted to introduce charges for hospital stays and GP visits but didn’t introduce it because she campaigned specifically not to do.

I read and understand that but it’s typical paranoia around the subject that is blocking rational debate on healthcare reform. Every time there’s a reform, from New Labour (and probably before) to date, it’s ‘privatisation by stealth’ whenever the solution is not just giving more money. It’s...

It’s the hope that kills you!

He hasn’t got a plan though, has he? He’s just outlined that France’s NHS (carefully crafted sentence) gets better outcomes. There’s no detailed policy program because he isn’t going to be in a position where he’s in government in July 5th. His goal this election is to ruin the tories. Clint...

That’s a great effort considering the early bird window is still open! Us fans are doing our bit, time for Robin, King and the rest to do their bit! Next week is the one, hopefully some signings through the door before the Euros start and from there, we’ve got England to keep us ticking over...

There you go, so is there capacity to sell match packages? I’m not 100% sure.

You caught me out on a technicality, well done. I’d be surprised if you didn’t realise I was in about the leaders that will actually impact the election; Sunak, Starmer and I’ll throw in Ed Davey for good measure.

They probably will once we have an idea of how many STs we sell. If we hit 22-23k ST, how many tickets will be available? About 4-5k per game?
