But what would the Football League do with PFC's 'Golden Share' ?

My head says I hope you "do" a Luton, my heart says at least you'll still have a club.:smt058

:weedman:, feels good

You need to take out Baloo's lump sum & transfer fees owed, so it's about £105M rather than £138.6M

So looking on the bright side; 1) We have potentially £34-35M owed to HMRC, which is over 25% so no CVA or 2) we have another £50M of football debt that has to be paid in full, PLUS another £3.4M as 20% of the increase claimed by HMRC :smt043

What are like at doing the pools ? ( Hope it's pretty poor )

BBC_MATT "Expect headlines 2moro about additional liability 2 Football League pension fund of £50m!" Ouch !

Nigel Farage is a twit.

They do, but that should not be the over-riding consideration - the problem with Politics today is it is all about sound bites and how the leadership appeal to the Hello & OK generation, with their 60 second attention span.

Vox-Pop on Radio4 this evening, talking to a woman in West Yorkshire who said she was voting LD - when asked why not for the Tories she replied "I could never support Cameron, he's an idiot". As for me, anything that prevents DC getting an overall majority is fine, in fact I might settle for him struggling with a minority regime, possibly propped up by the UU for about 18 months, if Eddie George's prediction might come to fruition. Oh, and btw, I will vote according to policy, not personality - this is not the X-Factor.

Actually it's the fact that Eddie Izzard is on the leaflet that might sway my vote their way - mind you, I think voting anti-Cowell would count as a public duty.

As far as I can makeout, none of the above results would put DC in No 10 with an overall majority - RESULT ;-)

Not sure about the BBC predictor, as it assumes an even spread across the country. I reckon it will turn out with the Cons at about 300 seats ( @ 38% of the vote), Labour around the 250 mark ( 28-29% ), and LD somewhere around 70 seats ( 26-27% ). The unpredictable bit is in Wales and Sotland where the isolationists are peddling their self-interest and may therefore affect the LD & Labour totals, ( the Cons have bu66er all chance in the peripheral territories ).

"Sood told the Lynn News that he wanted Britain to return to how it was in the 1970s. He said the Queen should have more respect and suggested bringing back the death penalty." Is that more respect for or from the Queen ? And what bits of the 70's does he want to return to ? I like the quote from the constituency chairman "Despite having such a dreadful candidate, .............." - who selected him ? ( And even his mother seems to have disowned him! )

'The Big Society' - a Busy-Bodies Charter where Neighbourhood Watch organisers, school Parent Governors, and Scout Leaders, take over the world.

I think at the moment DC needs about 350 more seats, the election isn't until Thursday.

No, but the Express and Daily Hail are in their interpretation of them.

Well, that's enough for me; I just can't beleive a word DC says, Cleggy is treading water, and Gordy, whilst manfully fighting his corner, must know it's a forlorn hope. Switched over to watch the scousers.

There was a quote on the BBC radio this morning that went along the lines "The Tories have implied that by cutting waste and making 'efficiency' savings, the net amount to be saved works out to £1700 per household. Surely if that amount was available to be pruned, it would already have happened ?" The RCN alone is talking of thousands of nursing posts being at risk. The idea that you can make the required levels of savings whilst 'protecting' front-line services is hogwash.

To follow on from other posts concerning cutting 'non-jobs' in the cause of efficiency savings; what impact in increased benefit payments and reduced tax yield would the job losses in the public sector have ? Some people have quoted tens if not hundreds of thousands of redundancies as being a good thing.
