It may well be that if the vote is close to remain that it will turn UK politics on it's head. It is likely there will be a new anti EU party floated which will then incorporate the UKIP voters, Leave voters from Conservative and Labour which could give them a majority in the first past the post system in the next General Election as the remain vote would be divided on party lines. Then we will be out.

As for the Turkey accession, the talks are to start with the EU on 30th June with a view to resolving as quickly as possible Turkey's entrance to the EU. Although scheduled for some time this information has been withheld by the Government from the electorate. Just leaked in France. What a devious lying bunch of ****s they are.

I thought she was a gobby shouter that spoilt her good points with too much aggression. All her interrupting and the inability to let the other side make their points without persistent comments let her down. I can't see her changing too many voters, just a gobby lite version of Amber Rudd. If that is the up and coming leadership of the Conservative party they are in a lot of trouble, they will lose a lot of deposits. If the Conservatives ever make her leader of the party they are signing their own death warrant. Enough Conservative voters won't support a Scottish leader, especially a pro EU one, to make them unelectable. The Conservative party after this acrimonious referendum will be in deep trouble anyway.

And their records are so impeccable that we have to believe them. All these organisations in the past have been disastrously wrong in all sorts of predictions and forecasts over the years.

A fact is that this referendum will be decided by those who vote and more importantly by which side gets it's voters to vote. Purely as an aside, a friend has a residential university cleaning contract and told me today that although the students had gone their rooms were littered with polling cards/unused postal vote forms left behind. Presumably none of these students will now vote. It may well be that many that are agonising over the minutiae, will as I heard expressed on a radio program by one such person, probably abstain. I just think that the vote is pretty much cast in stone already and awaits Thursday. The politicians could really pack up and go on holiday, nobody is listening.

It's not every serious economist or as is regularly quoted 90% it is about 15% as of 4000 economists canvassed, 3400 declined to commit and about 540 out of 600 that committed supported remain. In fact 540 out of about 4000 not the same at all. Of the 3400, presumably there is a variation in views supporting both sides.

If the UK voting to pull out starts the collapse of the EU house of cards it will be doing a lot of people a favour.

330,000 immigrants plus illegals. NHS and GP waiting times unacceptable. Health tourists having treatment needing reimbursement £1 for every £14 we pay for our citizens in the EU no wonder the worm has turned. Helped of course by Cameron, Osborne and all those foreigners they have recruited to scare the voters who see right through them. I'm looking forward to them being forced out.

I see KBS has vote for Puel.

I think the sell on figure has been reported as 15%. I may be wrong but I don't think it's 15% of the fee but 15% of the difference between the buying fee and the selling fee if that is more.

Nobody's listening but they are so into their little bubble they don't even know it.

That's a relief.

It seems maybe two years is a good number provided the new incoming manager continues the progress. It stops complacency creeping in and allows a new impetus on a regular basis. How many times have we seen managers stay too long and taking a club downwards before being sacked and a rescue having to be carried out by somebody else. We may have dodged a bullet.
-
Who in their right mind would believe them after their open door policy of the Blair/Brown governments. Supporters of all parties have long memories and won't be fooled.
-
I think he just about sealed it for Leave yesterday. FFS it's immigration and the lack of school places, houses and NHS waiting times that affect ordinary people every day, not the economy that is driving the leave vote. Ignoring that is the reason the Leave support appears to be increasing.
-
Have the EU managed to impose their dangerous flight time limitations yet?
-
Absolutely, the above comment was assuming they had decided to go. If they want to stay that's another scenario altogether.
-
RIP Tony, I remember him as very energetic, enthusiastic midfielder.
-
Of course personally having let Koeman go, I would block his two assistants joining him and put them on gardening leave.
-
I agree, there is really no place for him or anybody who is thinking about their position if they don't continue the success. We need somebody that believes in themselves and wants the job.
-
If Koeman decided to stay and accept the £4m it's possible he could end up with a legal problem with his previous agent who negotiated it with the club, so would require his fee.
-
Somebody should tell Koeman that Everton are a big club with a history, he might get a move on and we can replace him. Kevin Kilbane talking about Coleman said that he suffered from being in a poor Everton side. I think we can all agree on that. Everton are paying for a genius, think they are getting a genius but if he gets into the same sort of runs that he had at the start of last season and the horrendous run in mid winter when he didn't seem to have a clue how to get out of it and got lucky, they will see that money doesn't make a decent manager into a genius.

I'm surprised that there has been no comments on here about the Leaked Foreign Office telegrams. From our Ankara Embassy, proposal for 1.5m special Turkish passport holders to get visa free rights to UK. From The Hague on how co-operative the Dutch ( currently holding Presidency of the EU) are being, delaying issues that might adversely affect the referendum, until after June 23rd. Immigration is the decisive subject. The scare tactics of the last month has turned the electorate off. They are just not listening. Get ready for a big two finger salute from a large proportion on 23rd Jun.

I don't get the leave side letting Eagle get away with the comment about 90% of economists supporting remain which isn't true. In fact 4000ish were polled, only 600 responded of which 90% supported remain. An entirely different scenario altogether. Only 15% of economists polled supported remain. There was also the myth of the 500m EU being the biggest single market, China is about 2b and India 1m. In 1973 the 8 EEC members accounted for 31% of the worlds output, today the EU 28 account for just 17%. In 1973 we exported 36% to 11 EEC countries, last year we exported 36% to the same 11 and only 10% to the remaining 17.
