    This is sort of what Cummins was talking about. The devil is in the detail and we now have a generation of politicians who don't like detail. As he said, Whitehall only has about 3 dozen people who will get into that level of detail and are intelligent enough to drive change. The rest...

    Great post. For me, the incentive for spare middle class cash should always be pension. Bricks and mortar have always been a safe bet. We need pensions to be an even safer bet. When Trump and Zelinsky sat together in the White House my property value didn't plummet. My pension did along with...

    I think GB and I were talking about the long game though. Those policy changes I talked about on private individual landlords took approximately a decade to implement. Even last year the 3% stamp duty became 5% as they roll out more changes. As we all know this is multi-faceted. There are also...

    You're only referencing the top end of the pyramid. In each constituency there is an office around the MP. These people get paid a pittance, and most of the local work done is voluntary. Here's a couple of comparisons to Sturgeon Public Sector: The highest salary at Transport for London (TfL)...

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    I get the sensitivity now. I wasn't even thinking on that dimension to be fair. I was just seeing the football dimension. So if an Arsenal fan wrote the same thing about Kroenke and Hitler, does it pass the humour test or do they get banned? Ditto with Levy and Putin / Trump being in the room...

    And what people are forgetting is that you can only make 3 changes. Kulu should be nailed on as one of them. Any new signing of the calibre that we've just bought would be the second. That leaves just one space for everyone to fight over.

    Here's the problem though. We don't want to continue with the dregs ending up as politicians like we have today. There has to be a career pyramid that you can rise and prosper like any industry. Politics is incredibly low paid especially at the bottom end. The politician money we mostly talk...

    I'm totally with you. It's a complete minefield but we need to rebalance and make sure generation after generation can buy their own houses. I do feel sorry for the next gen with the current mismatch.

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    It surely can't be this single post that got him banned right? There has to be more to it. Dark jokes happen on social media and the time to deal with them is when they are racist, homophobic, misogynistic, anti-semitic etc. We all know the list. No way Levy's team would be this precious in...

    I assume you saw what I wrote above? The previous government put in some great policies to disincentivise buy-to-let landlords. The big 3 deterrents are: 1) Stamp Duty - made this additional to over and above what you pay on a property purchase. They first introduced 3% extra in about 2017...

    Interestingly, not the way it was reported. Odobert got credit for his performances in behind Tel. You may have seen the games though and know more. Wouldn't be the first time the press have watched a different game to genuine football people and written any narrative that sells papers.

    It's all a bit strange. It sound like the divorcing couple have managed to keep the Manchester home, set up a lifelong trust for the lifelong disabled child and she has managed to afford the down payment on an £800k home, assumedly with a mortgage. This is on top of her having a grace-and-favour...

    I think you have to understand the psyche of goalkeepers on this one. The 3 of them are a unit that train together every day. 2 of them will be on the bench every game and the other one will be travelling with the squad in every game for the entire season. They are a goalkeeping unit that need...

    If I digest this further, I think there is relevance to Odobert playing number 10 behind Tel for the French U21s. I reckon it is that string to his bow that has shaded his inclusion over Tel. I don't see it as a sign that Odobert is better than Tel. I think it is a tactical decision by Frank...

    Gets me wondering whether UEFA and the country FA's can compromise and meet somewhere in the middle on the quota rules. I quite like UEFA's classification of club and association trained within the overall homegrown . It drives the right behaviour from the clubs. I don't like the way they...

    Spurs Summer transfer window 2025 - roundup and review

    I guess Johan talked mostly about the things that you'd expect. A couple of interesting snippets though - Normally a bulk of the work can be done between the leadership and the manager in the Feb / Mar timeframe. You obviously can't do that with a new manager. What's interesting is that once...

    Yeah, it was only a rent arrears legal support that I could really claim for. Ironically that is the piece I seem to be getting back on my own, at least at the moment. He could stop that monthly payment at any point. Anyway, thanks for the advice on the arguable case. With a background in tech...

    Must admit, really disappointed about the Angela Rayner story this week. Personally, I'm sick of "landlords" of single second properties getting so much dog abuse. Whether she was being just ignorant or deviously deceitful doesn't matter so much to me. It's more that once again we're only seeing...

    It's interesting that Emirates Marketing Project went public with their CL squad last night but none of the other English teams have. The deadline was midnight last night.

    Mikey Moore

    I think you have to look at the data on Mikey Moore last season PL - 362 mins EL - 307 mins LC - 30 mins FA - 114 mins I think in a normal season, giving a 17 year old c800 mins with the first team would be quite good. It wasn't a normal season though with the crippling injury lists. We should...
