    Squad

    I'm not sure I could get Tel in. I guess we would need to work backwards from what a UEFA squad would look like with a fully fit squad with the obvious exception of Madds. Then make the assumptions of no signings. Our current qualifying players for the 4 association trained spots are Davies...

    Peter Charrington - Non-executive Chairman

    Yep, Charrington probably has a charter bigger than just running the club would be my gut feeling.

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    What I'm interested to know is the following: - Was Daniel and ENIC at odds on the future strategy of the club with Tavistock and the Joe Lewis camp in any way? Was it just time to step down for him personally or was there another driving force that led to the decision? All those ambitious...

    Peter Charrington - Non-executive Chairman

    This is the interesting piece "He is also a senior partner at Nexus Luxury, a company that runs the Albany resort in the Bahamas. That resort is co-owned by Tavistock Group, which is former ENIC majority owner Joe Lewis’ investment portfolio." I'm guessing he is well known face to our owners...

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    Interesting news, and I'm sure there will be more to come. I always felt I had a balanced view on Levy. He was definitely one of us and we should never forget that. He is also a fantastic businessman who transformed so much about our club. Amazing tenacity to get things done. Love that about...

    Squad

    As I said above, here's the challenge. You can only make 3 changes from this named squad. Surely Kulu gets one of these slots if he returns through Dec / Jan and it all looks good for him. That leaves 2 spaces. Say we sign another top drawer player. That's 1 left. Then if we're forced to change...

    lol - I managed to get out of that same rabbit hole earlier today.

    You are right. For private landlords, deposits have to be 25% of the value of the property and you have to find stamp duty + 5% on top. It's pretty clear in my model that you're not really leveraging other people's money to make money. You are under water on a monthly basis. Unless you have...

    Squad

    Dorrington NOT included in Aberdeen's EL squad even though he is in the first team. Gutted for him, but sort of glad they aren't over using him.

    Squad

    Yeah, we're at that interesting point of inflexion. Alfie Devine and Dane Scarlett will be club trained next season if they're still around. We have the 2 lads you mention dropping into the B-list and Davies leaving. So some spaces freed up. I found it interesting that Max Robson was not just...

    Conflicting reports actually. He is apparently of German descent and Lutheran. That's why I used him as the example.

    Great data. What's the trend though. Which direction is it going? I am surprised so many people own house outright. Obviously, for those that do, inheritance tax can be a natural reducer of these numbers. Is there any data on how many of those mortgages are landlord mortgages, and which ones...

    Very different things. Rent caps one hundred years ago were based on the concept of council houses. It was a very different world. What you're now implying is that a landlord can perhaps receive £1200 a month rent on a 2 bedder and it is capped. Typically letting agent fees are 10-15% and it's...

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    Yeah, agree. I also think that is why the guy that made the post apologised. To him it was a throwaway comment in a football context and he perhaps didn't see the German / Jewish connection at the time of writing. He was just trying to be funny with a joke that, let's face it, is commonplace or...

    But the problem in a post Brexit world is that the government is scared to raise business taxes even though they know the housing market shifts to corporates who aren't paying the same tax as the private landlord. They are offsetting the property debt in their P&L, reducing their company profit...

    Interesting segway Jamie Raskin is an American attorney, law professor, and politician. Done the hard yards, unlike some of our so called politicians. They just thought they could become a politician. I used to rate our politicians for their in depth knowledge of their chosen career. I used to...

    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)...
