    [Albion] Alex Scott

    This is fake news! He strolled into my Brighton team on football manager and claimed young player of the season. Palace away, 93rd minute, Alex picked up the ball from the halfway line and scored the winner. He can do everything, including winning matches on his own. This is a perfect...

    [Finance] What should the government do about the coming base rate mortgage hike time bomb?

    Is the lack of housing or access to getting on the ladder a south / southeast thing? It's been talked about in this thread but does the midlands up have the same issue? I purchased my first house in 2005 for 50k, but it was in Belfast... I was earning very little, and there's no way I could...

    [Albion] Why are we doing this US tour?

    Our profile is definitely growing in the US. I was visiting Martha's Vineyard last week and saw an American guy wearing an Albion shirt. Said he's a big fan after seeing us on tv and reading up on our history. Every PL game is available, so people pick a team (like the mad fella in NYC that...

    [Finance] What should the government do about the coming base rate mortgage hike time bomb?

    I got a tasty 125% Northern Rock mortgage at the age of 21. I only asked for 100%, but they recommended I go on holiday, buy a new car, and generally enjoy life as it would be wrapped into the 30 years. I think they even included all the fees so there was zero cost to being a homeowner. Those...

    [Finance] What should the government do about the coming base rate mortgage hike time bomb?

    Is there a reason there are no longer fixed-rate mortgage terms available? i.e a 30-year fixed at say 5% vs the crazy low/free money short 3-5 deals that has fuelled the market for so long. That would at least give some consistency so we're not seeing huge increases that people can't afford...

    [Albion] Where is Alexis going? (Liverpool - for an undisclosed fee...)

    I agree. Just can't see him going for less than 60m.

    [Travel] Washington DC travel advice please

    What time of year are you planning the trip? DC is nice for a day, but I think 4 days might be a stretch, and it's not the most romantic spot. I think there are a lot better places to visit. If you do go, Alexandria the old town is worth a trip for lunch or dinner Have you looked at Nashville...

    [Albion] Sliding doors - thank you Todd, thank you Graham!

    … Give me time to reason Give me time to think it through Passing through the season Where I cheated you I will always have a cross to wear But the bolt reminds me I was there … So give me strength To face this test of mine … If only I could turn back time If only I had said what I still had If...

    [Albion] Tony Bloom on the 2023 Sunday Times Rich List

    You'd be on the Times "Millionaire Rich List" I imagine a decent amount of London & the south are paper millionaires on property alone. Most should be able to work out their net worth: Assets minus your debt. Tony must be c1.5-2bn and still very liquid.

    [Albion] Jason Steele

    Let's get Anatoly Trubin in. Coming up to the last year of his contract! Worked under RDZ at Shakhtar. 6"5. Great with his feet!

    [Travel] Dubrovnik Trip

    Is Croatia worth a trip with kids (6 & 8)? We live in the US, so it would be early July before the UK holidays start. I was looking at flying into Split or Dubrovnik.

    [Albion] So…

    Yes! we shouldn't be losing against "teams like Everton" :)

    [Albion] Alex Scott

    Alex, is that you? I signed you in footie manager, and you've been a magical figure in the team. 2027 and you're a regular in the England team. I'm behind this one.

    [Technology] Football Manager 2022/2023

    I think I got Trubin in the summer of 2023. On one save, I have Trubin and then Caprile as backup, but it takes a while for Caprile to become interested. He was cheap, though, around 6m. You should be able to get one of them in the summer of 2023. I'd stick with Sanchez until you pick up one...

    [Albion] Very early transfer window considerations

    Roony Bardghji is a top performer in my Football Manager 2026 team. On that basis, we might also want to look at 6'6 Trubin in goal. RDZ must know him from Shakhtar Donetsk.

    [Technology] Football Manager 2022/2023

    Good to see Mitoma and Ferguson get upgrades. I had to sell Mitoma before the upgrade and it really hurt me. I managed to sign Jude Bellingham with the huge transfer budget. He was delighted to negotiate terms. So it’s a cracking midfield. I signed Trubin in goal so Sanchez isn’t happy but...

    [Albion] The Metropolitan Police

    I blame the recruitment agencies. The lowest of the low. They’re clearly putting out extra met police on a temporary basis to squeeze extra hours. I've heard after the money they’ve been making on the NHS bank staff and now this... They'll be shopping for a nice new top man suit.

    [Albion] Disincentive to leave too soon for the big moneys

    I like the sentiment of your post, and I hate the vulture agents pushing these moves. I'd also love to be your loyal homegrown player that stays put (but even our Mr loyal Dunk has been linked to moves in the past) Like people that make careers move, these are (elite & overpaid) humans with a...

    [Finance] What is the best or worst career decision you've ever made?

    Worst: I chased money and worked in a job that I absolutely hated, but was on a 3 month notice period and couldn’t find another company that would wait. I ended up handing in my notice, working the 3 months (ended up being 4) and then travelled Asia for 6 months. When I got back after being...
