To fully understand the risks you'll need to know what system it is.
If you search BRE non-traditional housing in the UK you should be able to get a document that has some history to it. There may also be photos of similar looking houses that say who the manufacturer was. Once you know that you can assess the risks and should be able to look out for any signs of recurring defects with the specific type of structure. |

Is he that much cheaper? We've had to pay a lump to sign him whereas Hayden would have been free and sounded like he was willing to cut his wages to a suitable level.
I think it was more a case of we need a Hayden type player, what's the best investment for the club. Hayden was great but there's little sell on potential. He's probably at or past his peak so possibly not going to maintain that level of performance for too many years. We've instead used the money, (possibly very similar money when his fee and wages are considered*) on someone who may improve to a level where we can sell him for a profit.
Hopefully that's it for CM now, we have 4 good options, we need to use our remaining resources strengthening other areas of the squad I think.
*Not knowing the length of the contract makes this hard to work out but assuming the rumored fee of £825k is spread over 3 years, it is equivalent to just over 5k a week in wages. Is this why we hide contract lengths so other clubs find it harder to work out how close to FFP limit we are? |

While we're discussing reporting standards, what of the social media personalities and news sources that claimed he was an asylum seeker and "fresh off a boat"? Unverified information from alternative media that incited a completely pointless riot in a community that had just undergone a massive tragedy?
Completely sick that people are allowed to do that to boost their online profile with the end game to presumably monetise it. They seem to have a following eager/well trained to trust them over "legacy media". |

Three young girls have been murdered and his response on that specific issue is - "I doubt any of the LFW Libs will have the chutzpah to go down the "And here's why it's a good thing:" route." - How else is that supposed to be taken other than people who have different politics to him think 3 young girls dead is a good thing but won't say so? 6 up votes for that, nice.
But you want to have a go at Clive because the real nasty stuff is calling people names (nutjobs, trolls, weirdos, racists etc)? Doesn't seem correct to me.
For what it's worth I think a decent discussion is to be had, SheffieldHoop has made some interesting comments on capitalism being common sense and who's really holds power above our elected officials which could be discussed but it's never going to work on an internet forum. |

Ah, watched the first half in my lunch break and left it with Pidcock in 3rd 35s off the lead. Thanks for the detailed summary, I'm gutted I didn't get to see it live. |

Yeah, I agree although not I'm sure what McLaren agreed pre-race with the drivers. Personally I don't think he needed to give it back if Oscar couldn't catch him as he could have been pitted behind Oscar and done it on pace in the last stint based on what happened. But because the team essentially decided to undercut based on a risk behind that was never likely to materialise, Norris then had his options for winning it on track removed from him. Think McLaren did it deliberately to avoid any wheel to wheel racing as Norris seemed to have the edge on pace all weekend up to the race. |

This season has widened out to 4 teams having cars capable of winning with Red Bull having the edge initially and McLaren having a slight edge on pace recently. 7 different race winners this year (every driver with a good car except Perez) so it is a bit more interesting than some of the recent Red Bull/Mercedes dominated years.
Feel a bit sorry for George Russell today, he did a long stint on his tyres so think the lack of rubber is what caused him to be under weight. Normally they do a full lap back to the pits after the finish picking up rubber marbles to offset the tyre wear but spa is such a long track they go into the pit exit, so he didn't get to do that this race. |

"it gives her incredible impetus and little time for negative scrutiny" - I thought the election was over 3 months away. If the last ten days has taught us anything about US politics, it's how quickly the narrative can change. |

We make losses outside of FFP items as well.
I think FFP means we need to spend it same year as we get it ideally. No good using it next year and then having a season when the Eze money drops off and the expensive year stays on. |

I think fans and the club are giving him the benefit of the doubt because it seems out of character for him. He was on holiday with his family in France, so not the usual footballer incidents where they're drunk and misbehaving out on the town. I think that has a bearing, not just that he's a good player. |

at 03:09 17 Jul 2024
As a club we can't buy a striker until we've sold one or both of Dykes and Armstrong otherwise we'd be exposed to FFP if either deal falls through.
We will hopefully be identifying replacements that fit Marti's style of play, so acclimatisation will hopefully be nominal and Frey will be there to lead the line while they get up to speed if not already.
We don't really have much of a choice other than to be patient and wait for the right time. |

Completely disagree, I don't think we'll miss either of them.
We need new strikers and in order to do that we need to get some money for our existing strikers. Neither score regularly so I expect a half decent striker will have us soon forgetting about Dykes. |

From my point of view I didn't think Kane was at it for the full tournament and while I respect his record for goal scoring, I think as a team we'd have been more dangerous with Watkins starting.
I think leaving Rice on was a mistake, started to look a bit tired and we removed Mainoo instead.
All that said, I think Southgate has done a great job overall but as with the Italy game, I feel like we've missed an opportunity again. |

So the companies with wind farms and solar farms are running with no profits?
As others have said, tidal is a great opportunity for the UK. If we were to borrow money to develop and build our own tidal energy source it would be a good long term investment but I'm sure some media and politicians would be quick to bash the government for borrowing money and increasing national debt rather than focusing on the financial benefit over the long term. |

I was about to say the same about removing the offer. Effectively he'd have had a longer holiday than the rest of the team, not started preseason with them and got a pay rise out of it. We talk about setting standards and culture, this would be a quick way to undermine that. |
