Agreed. Imagine going in to the new season if Kaplan and Levein were still in charge. How depressing would that be.
Now we've hopefully got AS as manager and have to believe logically that the new owners didn't buy the Club to carry on doing the same dull things that the old owners did. They must surely have bought with some sort of vision in mind. |

Apparently details of the latest realignment agreement will be coming out after the local elections.
Brilliant. Can't wait. Closer the better. |

One minor point about the amount of pollution China generates compared with the UK.
They apparently generate 20% of the world's total compared with our 1%. But they do have 20 times the population.
And I wonder how much of that 20% is generated because so many western countries like the UK have effectively exported their pollution generation to China. |

Don't be a pessimist uj. Of course they won't fluke it. Too much needs to go their way. |

I looked briefly into the revenue streams of Championship clubs yesterday out of interest.
Money from the EFL Central TV Deal and Premier League Solidarity Payments provides about £10 million. In League one that drops to about £2.5 million.
So I doubt if that will help them much if they do go  |

The article says 'It’s been a great journey we’ve been on having delivered hundreds of millions of pounds of investment into key sites across the area'.
Can anyone explain where these key sites are ? And where the next tranche of key sites was going to be if the Gateway project had continued ?
This is a genuine question because I don't know.
And it's perfectly okay to be sceptical about whether or not much or any of the benefits would have reached this far west. Also totally understandable if you were to believe that the two places that would have benefited by far the most would have been Cardiff and Bristol.
Why would this have been any different from past initiatives. |

Yes, the price of gas is set on the global market. The question on Sky news was about the 78% tax rate.
That 78% tax rate is on the energy companies profit. If the government reduced that then the companies profits would rise. And the only way that may reduce the cost of the energy we use would be if the energy companies subsidised the price to us using that excess profit. Does anyone think they would ?
Another thing I don't understand here. It's only a few years ago that the profits of the energy companies soared to unprecedented levels and everyone, probably including all forum members on here, were raging at the unfairness of it and demanding that the government crack down on those profits.
Doesn't anyone remember that ? |

The price of our energy is made up of a number of things one of which is the price the energy companies have to pay to buy on the world markets. That price is set externally and the energy companies simply have to pay the current rate.
If we want the price we have to pay to be lower the government could lower the network cost or the government levies. Other than that the energy companies could lower their operating costs or cut their profit margins. The standing charge is the last one which could also be changed.
These last five parts of the cost are within the remit of either the government or the energy companies to alter in order to cut the cost of our energy. The government and the companies have zero control over the base cost of the energy.
The question from the presenter suggested that the 78% tax the government levies on energy company profits affects the price we pay and cutting that tax would cut our costs. If a certain amount of energy was to cost £100 today and the government suddenly decided to cut the 78% tax on energy company profits to say 50% it would have no bearing whatsoever on the cost we pay. The base price of the energy would still be £100 and the only change among the other costs would be that the energy company profits would be much higher.
The energy companies could then decide to use that extra profit to cut our bills (flying pigs) but the government would have no control over that. |

He's been with us as a coach since 2023 and has seen 4 or 5 shambolic transfer windows and you would imagine would want to know that what was promised, if he became manager, would actually be delivered. |

Yes it is a mature response. When ohl says nowt is 100% he is correct.
So it is 100% correct that we're not going back in to the EU at the moment and probably not for a good while, maybe never. But it is not correct to say we're never going back into the EU.
As ohl says, nowt is 100%. |
