You're never going to cut them full stop, it just won't happen. It is a global issue of haves and have nots, and unless we sort out global equality it will always happen. All you can do is have a more joined up approach to dealing with it, and dealing with it as a block. If people knew that by travelling in boats they will not have their asylum claims heard, then they wouldn't travel. When the Tories cut the ability to apply from abroad it's what they wanted, to increase hatred within the country of them pesky foreigners.

Essentially you would have limits by country in the EU and Britain, and if they are exceeded those that do have asylum claims will be offered other safe countries that haven't had their limits breached to be returned to have their asylum claims heard.

But Afghans and Syrians will be able to apply from abroad anyway, as they have real asylum claims, hence they won't be on the boats.

No, I mean to origin. We're always told that the vast majority on boats are economic migrants in which they can be returned.

But they have legal routes - the main issue I thought (and this is what we keep being told by Reform and the ilk) is that 90% coming over on boats are economic migrants...

I know, hence the change in process.

Agreed. Process improvement needed, not legal loopholes. Access only allowed from applying from outside the UK with a legally/morally justified cap. Any that come over on boats are returned from whence they came. All family applicants must be on one single application. If granted permission, then they can travel.

Add to that private plates. May as well stick a "I'm a narcissistic dickhead" sticker on the back of your car.

We didn't purchase well.

That's what happens when the original plan was to have Martin in charge ALL SEASON, irrelevant of what happened.

That was my point, he's told us consistently what he wants, it's now on Spors.

As a winger? Do you know what a winger is because you've just quoted two players who aren't traditional wingers?

Literally no reason to think that whatsoever.

Better cutting in to create room for wing backs - and the point of the word "wingers" is it's a pluralisation.

We have no wingers so have no width with 4. That's the excuse, and that's on Sporr.

The issue is not the managers, it's the players. Always has been.

It depends if you're talking pure finances or PSR. PSR we don't need to. Pure finances we may do, but that's up to Dragan.

On a side note, Ozzy Crawley is a fucking awesome rock name.

What a bunch of cunts...

We don't HAVE to sell Fernandes if Dibling is out the door, so I think we'll be even more stringent sticking to our valuation of him.

Potter is the same manager as Martin - said it last year when all and sundry seemed to want him in.

Only if we get what we want for him. We have the advantage of the contract and there is a hefty sell on clause to Sporting - hence our high price for him. Mendes knows that, and has been told the price we will let him go at, hence no posturing by Fernandes (as opposed to Dibling). It's Mendes job to drum up that business.

Of course Everton are a big club, haven't you heard about their dugouts?

We're not loaning players.
