    So no credit at all. But if it makes it easier for the government to borrow to invest, and if it drives interest rates down generally, ultimately gets more investment into the country from outside, if business confidence improves, and that creates jobs, and so on and so on, there’s no credit due...

    Very much agree with your last paragraph in particular. And I think I’d be even more bullish on him if he was articulating a vision with greater clarity, so we knew what we were building towards. Otherwise, it kind of is what it is. In possession he talks about crosses. And he talks a lot about...

    If this is a 5 year program for government, the policies outlined in the budget aren’t going to be the only policies they put forward in order to spark more growth. And even so, didn’t they beat the growth projections by 50%? Borrowing costs will come down because of the headroom Reeves has now...

    I think it’s hard to know whether it’s worth prioritising one competition or another at this stage. The CL makes it different because we’re never going to be favourites. That said, if we’re in the semis, and we’re 9th in the league, I’d absolutely be fine ‘throwing’ our PL games to increase our...

    Yeah I think it will come down to whether they ultimately buy in to his vision and feel it is worth investing in. The Kane / Nuno thing is interesting. I do wonder which players would move against Frank. I’m willing to give Frank more time to see these changes through. Like if you have a whole...

    I think in fairness to Frank, a point I heard earlier today around the players being told that for 2 years, no matter what, we never stop. We attack, we play, we’re brave etc. And then suddenly, they have a whole different idea. It’s defensive solidity, it’s breaking at the right times, it’s...

    I agree with you they need to do something on welfare, and frankly I can’t understand the previous attempt to get it through their back benchers. It seemed like an incredibly dumb / naive way of going about it. And clearly they understand they need to do something. Both because Starmer is saying...

    Yeah look, we lost an away game to a side in form. It happens, I don’t think it proves anything. Especially when playing 50% of our first choice defence, including a teenager in his first PL season who had been shunted around 3 different positions, and a defender who had proven capable on the...

    Personal opinion but I looked at through percentages. Eg competing as much as possible (through selections and intensity) in the PL and EL, maybe we had a 35-40% chance of winning the EL. Then there’s various steps you can take to increase the odds in the EL, through selections and intensity. I...

    Well…..no. You just needed to look at the team selections to get the idea. I wouldn’t think Ange coming out and saying ‘I’m proposing the EL with my team selections’ would have gone down well with anyone, and it would have created more outside pressure on the team in Europe. But it was obvious...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Yes, my point is that consistent poor form started in December. I’m not saying we would then ultimately win every game that we put a half decent side. Part of prioritising the EL is that we’d likely save up our intensity for those matches, and play a more controlled way in the league. But...

    Welfare but also to get to the headroom she wanted right? Looks like they’ll have another crack at welfare reform too.

    The Wolves match had Gray and Davies in our defence with Porro and VDV rested. Forest I’d say we actually played well that game, it was one of the rare games that actually looked like Angeball in possession in the second half of last season. We just made a dreadful start. When did the poor...

    Did we have some form of austerity from 2010-2016 or even 2010-2019 in your view?

    Sure, I have said often that I think the players are trying, I think they are earnest in their efforts and ‘together’ so to speak. But this instances just speak to something not being right for me. I read something (I think in The Athletic) about a former top level manager / coach saying about...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    For sure. But we went through a period of the season with zero depth, with Gray and Davies as centre backs, and we ended up actually winning something. Competing in all of them last season would have meant reducing our chances of winning the one we could actually win. Provided we were safe...

    On growth, I think getting to the headroom they did which will reduce their cost of borrowing will be a plank of the growth strategy. But clearly it’s something they’re speaking a lot more about today and will do going forward. On the OBR, I’m struggling a bit with what the issue is. Reeves...

    I think Frank got it completely right on booing. After the game, fine. During the game to individuals, not. Surprised anyone can argue this. There is also what seems to be the very particular brand of Spurs fan idiocy, the ironic cheer directed towards the own player. Worse than the boo if you...

    If there was any serious danger of relegation we simply would not have thrown everything at the EL, and would not have finished 17th. Also the reason we weren’t in any serious danger of relegation is because actually we were quite decent up to December. And the point about the points...

    I think comparing points at this stage of the season is interesting, because it shows that it wasn’t as if the entirety of last season was some drudge towards the bottom. Clearly we had a decent start, clearly something happened around this time of the year, and clearly something else happened...
