    The fact that there are a few interested in him will mean that if (say) Wolves bid £15m, would say (Leeds) want to miss out? No, they’ll bid £16m and so on. Whoever signs him will stick him on a longer contract you’d have thought. His age in on his side He’s a rare beast so it wouldn’t...

    Ha, I’m about 10k from Chauvigny - between Limoges and Poitiers. Small world.

    Is there a path where we play Boro and Blackburn play Luton in the Playoffs? Hyam in the final - gives a pen to us, signs back to us in the summer because we are in the Prem, we keep Vik - sorted. Easy.

    There’s always a risk in running down a contract. Big injury like O’Hare’s would reduce his ability to get the big money. His stock is at an all time high, surely an improved contract with a clause at the end of next season where he can be released if we don’t go up for a set fee must be worth...

    MR was cagey in his pre match presser about Sheaf. Did someone say that he has said he’d be out for two weeks at the awards night?

    Where abouts are you in France? I’ve a place there that I spend a lot of time and I’d organised to be there on Play off final day (France). I’ll be able to get my mate to stream it in his bar - if you’re stuck and local (ish)…

    I’m not sure Doug is reading the room right now. Too much ego often backfires. Less is more sometimes.

    This government is authoritarian right wing? Often, towards the end of a government tenure they attempt to outflank their rivals. A few years back the Tories tried to out UKIP UKIP and of late tried to out overspend the left with their ridiculous furlough and business bounce back initiatives...

    I hope we’ve got huge promotion incentives in place particularly for Vik. Need him being electric and not having one eye on a big payday elsewhere.

    Or that they assume we will play them twice more.

    Scary. Didn’t the Oyston’s get accused of something vaguely similar when Blackpool went up?

    Good. A few more firing up the VPN (I’m assuming some iFollow money goes to CCFC - genuinely unsure - anyone know?)

    You’ll see a shift in demographic but not necessarily as you’d predict. Eg. Last time I was in India the notion of emigrating there became less crazy. Vibrant growing economy with ever improving infrastructure and opportunity. The crazy notion of my lad going to Bangalore to go to uni to...

    No. We need to increase the birth rate in the U.K. by taking away the restrictions and barriers that discourage couples having kids and staying together. Schools open longer so that both parents can pursue careers should they choose. Better access to funded childcare. Ban homework (nightime...

    Immigration is required to support an aging population. The advantage of Brexit (in theory) is that we can have an equal opportunities immigration program and manage skills gaps rather than unrestricted “EU citizen first” (actually discriminatory) which creates wage compression in certain...

    The thing that will hinder Labour going forward is that the left is split Green/Labour/Lib where as the right has largely been united as a Bluekip. Not getting into the rights and wrongs but that’s the main reason Boris won last time. Bad LE results for the Tories and mildly surprised that...

    One thing to consider with the £500 fix is what might a ST be next year and indeed in 5 years. If inflation stays at 10% (unlikely but just for the sake of thinking about it) rounded to £10 2023 £400 2024 £440 2025 £490 2026 £540 2027 £590 £2460 for 5 years rather than £2500 for 5 plus 1...

    I actually liked Corbyn. His stance on a few things such as Eire didn’t fit but you gotta admire his antiestablishment grit.
