    Transfer Rumour Matty James

    I'm always calling to not overload players but you can have training that is not intensive. You can go through tactics almost a walking pace to get them drummed into the brain.

    Happy if it was you? Or one of your loved ones? At least the families would have closure eh? Not necessarily referring directly to this case, but as just a general principal it seems pretty fucked up to me. Just make sure someone gets convicted regardless.

    Prices can go up as well as down

    With Wright away on international duty I hope EMC gets the nod on the left.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Maybe, but that's where the argument always ends up. You cut taxes and sales/growth goes up and the economic right say "well we should cut taxes even more". Same with deregulation. You take away the regulation, the banks/industry makes more profits and it's "see, we told you you should cut the...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I don't get having high levels of income tax allied to high levels of sales tax as that's just double taxation. One or the other can be fine. Probably arguing for the sake of it here but one reason is people have a tendency to buy shit they don't need. We're also using up raw materials and...

    Well that depends on if you consider them expensive, luxury items. I don't, so I wouldn't raise VAT on them. Argument for alcoholic beverages can be made I think.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Of course I know you're not a low/zero tax approach person. That's why I mentioned that the logical conclusion of your argument is exactly that, and I know you think that's a ridiculous proposition. I do get the argument for it, but I think there are better ways to go about it. Having people...

    I'm just making the argument about the commerical sense of doing so. I'm not going to start firing e-mails off to the cluub to complain or stand outside the stadium with a placard FFS. I don't get why you think you should be entitled to more. Even the first dibs isn't a 'given'. It's not...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I was talking about the logic behind it rather than if I'd do it. Like I said certain items I think should be lower tax or tax free. More expensive luxury items yes I'd consider a rate increase.

    Why does it have to be more than that? It is a reward for your loyalty.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    But then you're edging into "why pay any tax at all and just let people spend what they want and let the private sector grow from the extra expenditure". It's been shown time and time again that doesn't work. I'm all for zero or reduced percentage on items that are necessities but anything else...

    The reward for loyalty is getting first dibs on tickets.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    From a logical point of view it makes more sense. You only pay the tax when you spend the money. You can only spend the money if you've got it. Therefore the more money you have the more tax you pay. Often wondered if they might consider bringing in bands for VAT, so the higher the value of the...

    But you said a kids ST should go free if an adult ST is bought. So these kids are already going as they have ST's and have the chance to get hooked. If you're arguing it will make some new fans because of the name then that should be non kids ST holders get a free ticket. I've said for a while...

    They get rewarded by getting every league game at a much reduced price to a matchday ticket. They should also get rewarded by having first dibs when tickets go on sale. They should not, IMO, get rewarded with a cheaper price to everyone else.

    Why should a person that gets a discounted price ticket also get a free kids ticket for a game that should generate a lot of interest?

    Concerns over the club's direction......

    Overall the changes are far more professional than in the past. Yes, the changes have been big and will largely take some time to have an effect but long term they should be better. If I was to list my main concerns: How soon towards the new season before we decided to change the coaching...
