Nobody’s mentioned Pulis.

 

I know I know.

 

But got Palarse out of the mire a few seasons ago - could be worth a 10 match contract with a huge incentive.

He's at Boro.

Potter is my pick anyway.

 

Young, done it the right way learning abroad, trying something different. Amazing achievements, earned a chance and most importantly - he would be here for next season regardless. If Silva comes in and we go down, he would almost certainly leave.

 

Potter feels more like a Saints pick. People will say it's a gamble, but keeping Pellegrino so long was the biggest gamble.

I'd take Potter as well. Or Rowett.

umm, isn’t that what we’ve just had ?

Exactly my point.

Has anyone here ever watched a Hughes side play? You want boring, negative football with no results, then that's what you'll get.

Why would we do that though? Makes no sense to me at all.

Might as well put me on a ****ing retainer...

WBA?

I know I'd prefer chunky.

Big rumour around town is Hughes has been on a retainer here for the last month.

Why would he be on a retainer - no-one else is going to want him?

Nothing great on there. Bilic probably my favourite.

Bilic?? Are you kidding?

About ****ing time. Now go get Silva...

I may be wrong but I'm sure in the past the Daily Echo have put pressure in the club to sack managers and also for the removal of board members (Lowe, Cowan?)

 

The Daily echo hasn't put one story up about the fans wanting the manager sacked, any polls asking if the fans still back Pellegrino or Reid?

 

Anyone know why this is? Are the Daily Echo now in the club s pocket?

They're scared of losing their access again - that's the only thing I can work out. I actually tweeted a similar thing a couple of weeks ago to Adam Blackmore, Adam Leitch, the Daily Echo and Jeremy Wilson. Funnily enough no response from any of them apart from Blackmore favouriting the tweet.

Questions need to be asked of this board, but the people with the access to ask them are frankly too pu$$y to do it.

I STILL can't believe this is ongoing. ****ing appalling negligence.

Maybe Les, Ralph and Mauricio are lovers?

****, how awful. RIP Davide.

ADS?

Unbelievable Jeff

 

Mystic meg stuff

Yes love?

How the **** is he still in charge? Genuinely perplexed at this.

MUST WIN GAME. Pathetic. At home against the second worst team in the League.

3rd worst. We're the second worst.

How many good chances has he made for himself through good movement?

He's still reliant on someone getting him the ball though. You can't make chances just by good movement??

How many good chances has he been missing?

In my experience, and it’s one of the few areas I can add any value to, genuine independent contractors will be ok, and end clients will flex to accommodate this.

Fingers crossed then! I'm not as confident myself, but we'll see.

There's so much to dislike Rees-Mogg it's hard to just pick one thing:

 

Consistently voted for reducing housing benefit for social tenants deemed to have excess bedrooms (which Labour describe as the "bedroom tax")

 

Consistently voted against raising welfare benefits at least in line with prices

 

Consistently voted against paying higher benefits over longer periods for those unable to work due to illness or disability

 

Consistently voted for a reduction in spending on welfare benefits

 

Consistently voted against an annual tax on the value of expensive homes (popularly known as a mansion tax)

 

Generally voted against laws to promote equality and human rights

 

Consistently voted against allowing marriage between two people of same sex

 

Consistently voted against equal gay rights

Yeah, but apart from that, what have the Roman's ever done for us?

IR35 has been around since Gordon Brown was chancellor. There were then and remain fairly simple ways to establish that you're a genuine contractor, rather than a 'disguised employee'.

Yes, I know that, but now the tests are on the employer, and it is likely that they will judge everyone inside for ease...

So after the extension of IR35 legislation into the Public Sector it has been decided that IR35 will go through consultancy and roll out to the Private Sector in April 2019. The thought is the Government are losing out too much, so they are looking to push this through without any real thoughts as to how to properly implement this.

There are a number of issues this brings up:

- National Insurance: Needs to be passed to the employer instead of being paid by the employee.

- Benefits: The normal benefits that the PAYE worker 'benefits' from like Holiday, Sick Pay, Pension, Life Insurance etc etc should now be available to the contractor. Personally, I cannot see how this is implementable in any way, which is why the Government are trying to rush this through without working out how to deal with these issues.

- Flexibility: Currently I take around 50-60 days holiday a year, due to having young children and enjoying travelling – I can’t see that this will still be available as an option going forward.

- Cost of Contractors: As Contractors pay more tax, rates will rise. This is inevitable. It will impact most however on the Public Sector, as they traditionally pay poorer than the private sector, and they will need to up their pay structures to deal with the tax losses.

- Tax Avoidance Schemes: It’s inevitable that some people and companies will find ways around this, for example the Umbrella loan schemes that are being seen in the Public Sector Contractors.

Personally I am in a contract until the end of the year. I may try to eek another contract out until March, but after that I will take a month or so off and see the lay of the land before deciding on my next steps. The biggest issue for me is the loss of holiday flexibility rather than anything else.

Anyone else got any ‘inside’ knowledge, or thoughts on how to deal with this upcoming issues? I know Batman’s missus is (was) a locum nurse (or similar), and I’m interested to know how she’s dealing with it now?

To be fair, inheritance tax hurts the young more than the old

Just need to plan ahead with the 7 year rule...

My brother in law sold up in Weybridge, brought a nice house in Poole and retired on his final salary pension. Is it his fault that I haven’t got my final salary pension anymore, no it’s Gordon ****ing Brown’s. Is it his fault that the price of property in London and surrounding areas is so high, that he’s made a killing, no. What on earth has he done wrong to be denied the vote or criticised by snowflakes. All his done is work hard all his life, move to the coast and retired. By the way, he left school with **** all, moved to London with nothing, he had no more opportunities than anyone else. My youngest son is now 18, there is absolutely nothing his uncle did 40 years ago, that he couldn’t do today. If he works as hard and is as successful in his chosen career, he’ll be able to enjoy a decent retirement in a nice house.

Agree 100% with this.

It seems that people want to make excuses for kids nowadays, but if they work hard and make the correct decisions they'll be just fine.

I sincerely hope that the above comments are tongue in cheek? Just wait until you get old, chaps. The UK's problems are not being caused by old people, but stem directly from stagnation in wages, which is a direct result of the mass immigration of cheap labour. Low wages do not help to stimulate the economy (and create well paid jobs), and, furthermore, do not help increase fiscal revenues. Younger people are suffering more because they cannot afford housing, which has become prohibitively expensive due to demand exceeding supply. The NHS is on its knees because it has far too many customers caused by the large increase in population in the last 10 years. None of this has anything to do with the old folks who have paid handsomely into the system all their working lives. With respect to voting, older people are not as daft as you think, they have the benefit of long experience and have seen life. Quite honestly, I find the above comments to be very distasteful.

Spoken like a true Daily Fail reader.

You want to see wage contraction in the economy, you wait until Brexit and 20% of our jobs go running out the door. Oh, and tax revenues go down so we have to cut back on NHS services.

All this because people in this country are scared of Johnny Foreigner. Bravo.
