    [Politics] General Election 2024 - 4th July

    Those sort of language mistakes offend me far less than people saying ‘Dave and I’ when they mean ‘Dave and me’. I literally shout the correction at the TV or radio when I hear the subject/object being mixed up.

    Happy to bet proper money that they don’t get >150.

    [Albion] Fabian Hürzeler **SINGED 15/06/2024**

    Yep, money talks. And despite the doom and gloom on here, we should have an awful lot of it so spend this summer, both on a managerial team and new players.

    [Albion] Palace Fans Biggest Fear

    Just to add a further bit of reality to this thread, the odds of relegation next season are as follows: Palace: 10-1 Brighton: 20-1

    [Albion] Palace Fans Biggest Fear

    I think it's worth reviewing the figures if we're talking about financial models: Since the 2 Covid-affected seasons, across which both teams made similar losses of circa £100m, Brighton have reported pre-tax profits of £27m and £133m, with a likley profit of around 90m for this season (with...

    [Albion] If Graham Potter is re-appointed...

    He's joint favourite on the exchanges, as in Betfair, which is a bit more dynamic than the standard bookies' odds. Although admittedly without much market depth it doesn't take much to shift odds.

    [Albion] If Graham Potter is re-appointed...

    I don't think so, but seeing as Potter is a free agent then if he was going to be reappointed then it'd have been sorted by now, surely? There's been absolutely nothing to suggest this is happening - and it's usually very hard for clubs to prevent leaks - and he's been replaced as favourite on...

    [Albion] Carl Rushworth

    I see that Koeman has stated that Bart will be the Netherland's No.1 keeper at the Euros. I thought it had some relevence to this discussion as, in my opinion, I can only see Rushworth returning back to us if Bart has a great tournament and we get an offer we can't refuse from one of the big clubs.

    [Albion] Henrik Rydstrom - new manager candidate.

    His odds have shortened on Betfair this morning to 4.0, which makes him marginal favourite ahead of Potter at 4.1. Don't know if there's any substance behind this or not as nothing on Social Media that I can see. He still appears to be available to back at 8-1 with Bet 365 (which is equivalent...

    [Albion] Deniz Undav - season long loan to Stuttgart confirmed

    With respect to whatever your profession is, I'm going to guess that your contract of employment doesn''t represent a £20m intagible asset to your employer that they'd be writing off if you wanted to go and work for a competitor.

    I think you're right, and I'd say the same about Potter as well.

    [Politics] General Election 2024 - 4th July

    If it helps, they are fully supportive of PR, which if it ever gets implemented will mean you can vote for whomever you want and know that your vote will count in the national picture. Be amazed if this happens in my lifetime though. Why would the two major parties voluntarily change a voting...

    [Politics] General Election 2024 - 4th July

    Early days, but in terms of consistently bad campaigning over the course of 6 weeks, it's hard to look past Teresa May's 2017 campaign for the worst in my memory. She called the GE in mid April when the Tories were polling at 48-49% with most major pollsters and ended up on 43.5% at the GE...

    [Albion] Carl Rushworth

    Cheers. Sort of decision the new manager will have to make in July after seeing both in traing and, hopefully, Bart in the Euros. Having someone as good as Rushworth on the bench all season is a bit of a luxury that could affect us elsewhere. If we're offered a good price for him, such as 20m...

    [Albion] Carl Rushworth

    With the benefit of hindsight, this is exactly how I feel. It sort of indicates that there was a level of disconnect between the recruitment team and RDZ as I'm fairly sure that we didn't spend 20m on Bart with the intention of him being sat on the bench for more that half the season. Having...

    The above is quoted from the Conference League Final thread last week. So if this were to happen, then I basically win NSC for 2024.

    [Albion] Carl Rushworth

    Yeh, they must stil rate him seeing as they extended his contract only 6 months ago. Never seen him play, but did watch him warming up alongside Sanchez against Liverpool a couple of seasons ago - he certainly looks the part!

    [Albion] Carl Rushworth

    Probably will if the offer is good enough. We have 3 seriously talented young keepers challending for one single spot: Bart (21), Rushworth (22) and Beadle (19). Chances are that two of them will need to be sold over the next 2-3 years.

    [Finance] Premium Bonds - prize pool increased again - you ever have any luck?

    £175. Have just maxed out between the 2 of us so am tragicly excited for July's draw and the riches it will inevitably bring.
