  1. It definitely would I felt weeks ago that Patterson should be playing, but now if he starts after what’s happened it would for me feel like Dyche saying there’s no problem between me and Patterson, and if what happened hadn’t happened I wouldn’t even be thinking there’s any chance Patterson starting, because Dyche’s evaluation of him has been clear, he’s not ready or good enough. Anyhow has anybody seen the odds for Patterson play I feel there’s a bit of money to be made on this.
  2. I wonder if the Bookies are doing odds on Patterson making the starting 11, if they are I would put 50 on him starting.
  3. That makes sense but wouldn’t if they were a PLC, plus a nice little bonus for the employees in the UK.
  4. It maybe a ridiculous stance to take, but it’s good to provoke a reaction. Some may believe that nothing happened and it’s all fake news, for me there’s been to much coverage and detail to say nothing happened. You tell me when it becomes acceptable to smack someone round the back of the head and when it doesn’t?
  5. He’s always had a problem with Patterson as a player, that’s why we have seen a poor Godfrey being shoehorned as a RB, now it would appear his dislike towards Patterson has become personal, or was it always a personal problem he’s had with Patterson, and manifested itself in public after too much sun and vino. A bully will always show their true colours eventually, bye Dyche and drop your keys off on the way out. You won’t be missed your long game was shit anyway, and 5 points out of possible 33 should have been what got you the bullet, but ABH on a player is unacceptable and for that you should be dismissed and ashamed.
  6. They would try and pay as little tax as possible, but just not by devaluation of their profits. Yet I as a sole trader and not a PLC would do what I could to make my profits disappear so as to pay less tax, all above board and legal of course
  7. That’s what I believe was said, even though it isn’t or wasn’t written when we faced our first charge, it is reported that the PL league advised the commission who sat on our case that they should, if found guilty deduct 6 points and 1 point for every 5 million over the 105 million. Now we have to hope that if found guilty again they don’t give us more than a 4 point deduction, that keeps us in a 3 way battle with Luton and Forest for the last relegation spot, which we should avoid.
  8. I wouldn’t say that Newty most PLC companies would want to make as much profits as they can, it’s good for their shareholders and allows for dividends to be paid out, and makes sure CEO gets his big bonuses, and he isn’t voted off the board by disgruntled shareholders. To avoid tax they register their companies in tax havens, the sooner G20 stop this nonsense the fairer societies will become to all who pay and have paid taxes in the country they live in, and companies pay taxes were there profits were made.
  9. Here’s the last 3 years of Laing O’Rourke accounts. 2023 turnover £3.6B Loss £288M 2022 turnover £3.1B Profit £2.7M 2021 turnover £2.6. Profit £41.0M 2020. turnover £2.5. Profit £46.0M Laing are the largest construction company in Europe with offices in the Middle East and Australia, where they deliver some of the biggest projects in those countries. They explain the biggest reason for their loss in 2023 was the higher than expected rate of material costs, and the increase in labour costs, added by fixed rate contracts on 2 contracts neither which was Bramley more which isn’t fixed as touted by the club to try and make DBB look competent as the CEO. You are right about the NHS but remember they are not PLC trying to deliver profits for their shareholders. Looking at their Profits and I put 2020 in because in was their best performing year for many years, it doesn’t read any where near your assumptions. I would guess that they go in at tender stage of about 20-25% gross on average, and after over heads would be happy with 4-5% net profit and would be ecstatic with anything over that. Shukes mate get your CV off to them if you can deliver them the margins you believe they should be making, they'd make you Commercial Director in an instant
  10. Shukes you are out by about by miles mate, let’s say the stadium finishes at 800 million and Laings make 60% profit that’s 460 million. Laings will make between 8-10% after there Pre-lims have been taken out, which is in the region of 8-10 million EBIT.
  11. I use to see a lot of Liz Hurley at Cirencester Polo ground when she was with that Asian chap, especially when William and Harry were playing. I’ve always been to grand for you guys
  12. Didn’t he say he wanted to stay, but wasn’t in the manager’s plans, which is fair enough if the manager doesn’t see you as part of the future then why wouldn’t you leave. I don’t know what Lampard or Dyche didn’t see in him, because he scores goals where ever he goes, and that’s what we need right now someone who can run the line link up play and then put the ball in the back of net, we get 2 out of 3 with DCL, and the most important one scoring we don’t get. I understand selling because we needed the money to try and beat PSR, but the 8 million will have no effect on the new charge, we sold him in the current season, and not one of the 3 seasons that makes up the new charge, he was sold July 23/24 season.
  13. To be honest mate some of these tribute bands sound better than the real thing when they’re live, enjoy it mate. Any way Mike if you’re stuck for transport, I’ve got a bike you can ride it if you like, it’s got some bits on to make it look good
  14. I was thinking and forgot to say, I wonder if Thelwell has considered Robins as a replacement for Dyche, as you said earlier mate they play some bloody decent football
