That's the kind of financial management this club needs. Christ.

Two things. I'd like to think the German car manufacturers have been listening to those awfully clever Brexiteers like Daniel Hannan and David Davis, who amongst other talk an awful lot about how Western Europe is a declining continent and the sensible thing to do is expand horizons beyond them to the rest of the world. That's where the growth is. Listen to Hannan saying it on the video Batman posted up a day or two ago. So Germany and its car manufacturers should stop worrying about dead, old Europe and start making the serious cash elsewhere like India and Africa just like Brexit Britain. After all, if German car industry can't make an effing mint on the world stage, god help the go-it-alone UK. So when the mythical banging on the door starts Merkel would be sensible to play them Hannan's speech, get the CEOs of VW and Mercedes on the first plane to Cape Town and start selling them some more freaking cars. There's and whole world out there and they can take a short term hit from the UK by filling their factories from elsewhere right? Call it the Hannan model. I think they can cope. Secondly - "what Germany wants it gets". Well if Brexit wins then they didn't want that and it'll get it, so there's an easy one. Also, come Brexit the thing that "Germany" will want is not to show the rest of the EU that a departing nation gets a better deal than the remaining members of the club get, despite these German car manufacturers a-banging and a-clanging on the door. And, you know, I hate to break it you, but a fair old slice of that £8.5bn will come from, well, big old us. We'll be making so much money trading with the rest of the world that's not sh itty old Europe it'll be chicken feed by then anyway.

Leicester haven't become a "top club".

I'd like to make it clear how disgusted I am by this type of thing.
-
And weve arrived at "Dictated to" and "sovereignty". Didn't take long. Bless you.
-
No idea how you arrived at that. The people at the top, post Brexit, will be really rather pro immigration. Very pro immigration. Wait and see. #heartbreak #buttheypromised #buttheypromised #theypromised

Rashford has just signed a new contract at Manchester United for £20k a week. #noambition

If you are planning to make your manager the fourth highest paid in the richest league in the world, why would you appoint Ronald Koeman? Might as well go for Pelligrini or that second-club-in-a-big-city expert Simeone.

Just get ready for the heartbreak.
-
Single market. As you know.
-
Post-Brexit you are going to be absolutely broken hearted. Boris will sign up to free movement of people in a heart beat to get us back in the common market. And try five years, not five minutes, at which point your choice will be more Boris, or Labour. Best of luck. Best of luck.
-
I think you and Tim are basically saying exactly the same thing. If the Tories can't stop it, and Labour can't stop it and big business and the civil service have no desire to stop it, I do fear for your little stubby pencil at the general election following Brexit.

Blair absolutely smashing it on Marr this morning, on all topics. Great to see.

What clubs do you mean? I can't think of any major club moving ground that went for a lower capacity.

....something about German car makers banging on Angela Merkel's door.

Let's see who the real winners are post-Brexit. Will it be big corporations, big finance and big internationalist governments, or will it be the old lady complaining about where have all these Polish shops come from. I know the answer to that question. The economy will take in who it needs. Boris won't be stopping anything. He's going to be Prime Minister, you know.
-
Why would it stop it? Free market deregulation and binning of horrible old red tape plus "looking beyond old Europe and trading with the whole world instead which the Germans are definitely stopping us doing or something" (etc etc) do not create the conditions to stop it. Boris or any future Tory or Labour government will not stop it. It won't stop. Sorry and that.
-
It's brilliant that a Leave vote will stop all this kind of thing immediately. Well, obviously not immediately, but probably by the end of July.
-
No. This is a good thing.
-
Who is calling him a hero? (or the Messiah or Le God 2 as you previously claimed). You've been "reading carefully" so no doubt you can point me in the direction. For all your complaining about not being allowed to have an opinion, you seem to object very strongly to people simply saying he has done a very good job.

I'm starting to think your account is the most elaborate parody troll wind up the Internet has ever known. Or, you're a dribbling imbecile. -

Perhaps you might want to put up an actual quote that says what you accused Batman of saying. -

Because it's what he does. Remember this is the man who thinks that people in the UK have no problem with the Ku Klux Klan. -
That guy's government is going to bring in an universal australianstylepointssystem (oh please can we have an australianstylepointssystem) and no mistake. #australianstylepointssystem
