I also wouldn't be shocked. There are a lot of people who may dislike the Tories on the whole but are personally extremely loyal to him for delivering Brexit. Add that to the lifelong Tories who hate him but couldn't vote for anyone else and it's possibly enough for a win, albeit with a very...

It's a parody account, but yes..

They'll announce them one game at a time, on the morning of the game. Keeps everyone guessing and makes the managers earn their salt. First supporters to get to the right ground get the tickets.

Why keep him there then? If your constituents want him gone, you're the one who's going to lose your seat as a result. If you're going to lose anyway, might as well give him full public support, get a ministerial job and use that to get nice directorships after the voters turf you out.

Well, off the back of Brexit Cameron's government collapsed, May's government collapsed and now Johnson's is floundering around with the NI protocol, so it wasn't a bad shout by Hunt. How the hell Nadine Dorries is in the cabinet and not on Loose Women or some such I'll never know.

The main reason to vote for him is to curry his favour, they all know they are in a bad place with the electorate. So why vote for him but not publically state you're going to vote for him, that would be a weird move. My gut feeling (sorry jakarta) is that he'll lose.

Oh, one more question - we know that in the championship that investment was needed to cover losses - but in the Premier, is that extra £30m a season more about club/squad development rather than covering running costs? Obviously the two are linked, but in simple terms, is this investment not...

Absolutely. And for the avoidance of any lingering doubt, this is most definitely not a ' put your hand in your pocket Bloom' thread - his contribution and commitment is incredible. No, I'm just talking about a significant increase in the rate of investment, that would spike on that graph, ie a...

No, I really never said that we 'needed' major investment. Reread my post. We don't need it, but that's not to say that it isn't a smart tactical move to invest more now. We absolutely should move towards less reliance on TBs funding, but perhaps paradoxically, that can happen in parallel...

We're only a few letters out from having that at our club - Graham Tinpotter :moo:

I would expect nothing less from the club than to do all of those things that Barber says, and I hope we do. But it certainly doesn't rule out TB investing more money in the club when the time is right to do so.

This letter is a brilliant summary of all the issues with Boris. And also why, even though I want the Tories to lose the next election, and they're more likely to do so with Boris as leader, changing the prime minister as soon as possible is in everyone's interest in this nation.

If that was the plan, then doing it straight after the jubilee weekend would have seemed a smart idea. Country getting proud, lots of nationalist fervour, everything is possible vibes.. not a bad time to put everything behind us and move forward stronger. Well the booing and the comedians...

Is it clear? Quite the assumption to make, didn't think you liked people making assumptions judging from your posts on other threads. It may be that he does want to invest more and is waiting for the right time to do so. It's also not doubling the wage bill, it's increasiing the top end...

Agree with your point entirely, but that isn't really what I'm saying about a' settled team'. Every Potter season the first choice 16 or so has been quite different at the end of the season than the start of it' because we're developing and blooding players. So the settled side aspect of my post...

No, to pay Bissouma, Cucurella and maybe others already here £100k per week.

I actually disagree, the point of major investment now would be to keep those stars to play alongside the developing youngsters, giving us a settled first team for the whole season. Selling and reinvesting in potential would keep us on the path of being a development club - which is fun and...

The thread is certainly not saying that the club needs major investment, if you reread my OP. What it is asking , is whether this is tactically a very good time to significantly up the investment, with the potential for future rewards. Where the investment may come from is definitely a valid...

You're probably right, my argument is a bit pointless anyway

He could, if he was playing against players of 1980s quality. Lawro is subjectively better because of the standard of the time. Lawro would most likely be better than Dunk if his career happened now, I expect. But I'm fairly sure that every single Premier league today would comfortably beat...
