London Blue Posted January 16, 2020 Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 If you can have clubs paying money on having the first option to buy a player then you can do the same with naming rights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A spanking new stadium on a world heritage waterfront just won’t do. Especially as London becomes less and less desirable a place to live. Mesut Ozil being chased around by machete wielding thugs comes to mind. Liverpool, unlike most major cities, still retains it’s core identity and hasn’t fully succumbed to the commercialism and internationalism that make most modern cities cold and uninspiring. In ten years time Everton and the whole city of Liverpool could look very different. Expansion of the docks, redevelopment of brownfield sites etc could mean an inevitable shift in the centre of gravity in the whole country that I think many in the South are a bit concerned about. I was born in Newcastle made in Swindon, I would love to live up north but unfortunately my Mrs is a southern softy and having none of it.

I'd happily move up there also; have never owned my own home and could've bought something decent up there outright with what my mum left me three years back, but with all the kids and grand-kids down here wife wasn't having it. No chance of getting anything remotely decent down here with what we had. My own fault because I've made some very daft decisions in my life when I've been in a financial position to buy with ease; eg I could've bought our second rental in Devon in 1998 for £20k, it's now valued on "Zoopla" at more than £200k.

Huge amount of holiday "second homers" down here Mark, and where we are is prime commuter belt for Exeter and Taunton, plus Plymouth and even Bristol if you go a bit further afield. Not London prices obviously but out of our reach. When my mother-in-law goes (and I hope that's many years in the future) we'll certainly be able to afford something very nice; she actually said to me very recently that she'd happily advance us part of our inheritance to buy somewhere but wife won't have it, I understand her reasoning/emotion because she doesn't want to be seen to be "after the cash" while her mum's still alive so it is what it is. markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’ve got load of space over there Mark, we’re running out of land here! I’m sure there will be some anomalies in the states too. Places like the Hamptons must surely be very expensive but out of the city? I live away from my parents, the village they live in my house would be a couple of hundred grand more, and that’s in the north. Up here in Lancashire we can pick up a bargain. But then my family in Florida could buy a small mansion for the cost of my house. They all live in huge bungalows for probably the cost of my windows. markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post London Blue Posted January 17, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 When we knew we were having a baby we knew we had to move out of our 1 and a 1/2 bed flat in Islington, which I loved as it was so practical and in a great location. Our landlord is a real gent, we had lived there for 11 years and never had a rent increase, but to buy that flat would cost over £600,000, impossible for 2 public sector workers. Moving to Essex 40 miles from London we could afford a 3 bed new build house with "help to buy". House prices are crazy in the UK. As a trained economist I could bore you to tears with the reasons why (as I have done to my wife, family and friends since we started house hunting!!) but I will save you that.
