It won't work because landlords won't subscribe to it if it means little or no profit. No landlords means no properties to rent.

Rent control won't work. We need private landlords. They need profit. In order to maintain profit, rents are increasing. If private landlords sell up (many are), where do rental properties come from? We've created an almighty mess from the right to buy days through to Rishi's giveaways. No easy solution sadly.

I agree. The issue is what the government can realistically do to solve the housing shortage. A massive social housing build would never be done a Tory government, and wouldn't be affordable to a labour government. Subsiding rent is not affordable. Landlords own a big chunk of housing stock and will (and do) crank up rents as interest rates rise to maintain profit. How do you say that the government "can step in and make a difference"?

Can't we just have one thread without pointless flirting please lads? A lady has passed - there's no need for any of the other nonsense.

He's a Scandinavian who's signed for Scandinavia's biggest club on a 4 year deal, gets to compete for the title and domestic cups in a league where he'll probably shine, and play champions league football. Yeah, a terrible move for the lad! Good luck to him.

Thanks for posting the interview. I like the cut of Wilcox's jib. This bit is very direct... a reality check for some of the players!

...it's an of you know, you know, thing.

He'll be going for £80mil at this rate!

Thank you, good to hear. Armstrong is better than we've seen. Played properly, and with some confidence, he could have a great season. And @stevegrant, please upgrade this fellas membership, he's got info to share.

Ditto. I'd be delighted to get back what we paid for him. The lad could be amazing, but something's off.

Have terms been agreed with their clubs though?

TBH, you have a very blinkered view and clearly regard your opinion as the only correct one. That makes debate impossible. I CBA to get into it with you, but it seems that having conflated gender and sex, you've now added sexuality to that mess of conflation.

Gibbs White is on another level imo, but he ain't worth what Forest paid for him, and Tella is plainly worth much more than £9m.

Thanks, you saved me a job.

Any idea how much we want for him? If he does go, I'd hope to see Sulemana stay - losing both and relying on Aribo, Djenepo, Edozie and the youngsters as our wide forwards would be brave.

What you're describing is the physical aspect of transitioning from gender a to gender b. Whether you like it or not, and/or choose to recognise it or not, there is a recognised process where after a person elects to transition from one gender to the other (deliberate wording - there are only 2), the fact if the matter is that there is a physical process involved. Sure, no bloke will ever fully be altered to female, but it's daft to say that when tradition there isn't a physical change. Many many years ago I signed off the affidavits of a person reassigning (as the process called it) from male to female. They had to do these affidavits at various stages, ie to verify the identification element, then the others the others covered the hormonal changes through medication, then more physical stuff. Having met that person at each stage, and heard and read details, there was no denying that there was a physical process and physical change. Sure, the person was not and could not be a complete women in the biological sense, but she identified as one, looked like one, spoke and acted like one, and had physically become as close as possible. Oh, your star sign analogy is a shocker.

Thanks Whelk, hadn't heard that Terry Hall duet. I thought this with The The was a cracker

He'd do very well under Poch. And they'd pay proper money. Hopefully it's the start of a bidding war.

The physical transition is a physical transition. That follows the personal decision to shift gender. It absolutely includes a physical process, and there's no reason why anyone who undergoes all of that could subsequently conclude that they do no identity with either their gender of birth or choice. Why, fuck knows, but they could.

Very, very sad. The poor lady was very ill, and had to deal with her son's suicide recently. A true talent taken far too soon. RIP.

Charles, if anything, looks stronger than Lavia, and very comfortable on the ball. I wasn't confident when we signed him due to his lack of experience, but I think he'll do well. He'll need some experience alongside him though, and assuming JWP moves on, I wouldn't be surprised to see Manning in there plus one of Smallbone or Alcaraz.
