still 650k pw to run the club if he is right. If that includes his fees in that period as well I dont think it can add up, but without the info it is hard to tell

A few of us were telling them about it even in the S4E days. Ho and co were spouting on how that the stadium and surrounds were worth fortunes as there was a queue of companied wishing to build hotels etc Lol. The NotW said they were over 100m in debt but PS came out and rubbished that and it went quiet. The talk that crouch was on 90k pw and so it was obvious the crowds/tv money could not sustain these costs.to think that gaydamek was going to bankroll the surplus was naive as well.

don't be hard on yourself, an easy mistake to make

of course i have, I have all state information fed to me.

United Kingdom Uk was run in a similar way to PFC, unsustainable debt that is hidden and only at the resort will it come to light.

Ho only comes on when he feels the clouds are moving away.

the old yellow belly has returned. Not a peep during the dark days lol. I don't care how you dress it up the club you spout about have twice robbed small businesses. I still feel bad that saints did so, but to a degree they took the bank and so not quite like charities and schools. Pompey are tainted and you will still come on and tell world how wonderful it is seen but more and more neutrals are starting to see what your club is all about. On sunday i saw a WBA fan and he was very much against the way the club has conducted itself and cheated the tax payer. You dont care of that im sure but your 7 years will always be looked on as robbery.

news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/.../2459167.stm - i can't be ar### to find these things normally BTF but on this occasion as it's you. If you don't think that self interest never is used in power then you are naive I also point to your wording in this sentence to underline that indeed you know that Blairs decision was to her gain. 'I'm sure loads of other Chambers benefited too - indeed the Mail article says as much.' other Chambers benifited TOO

i read that link, but it was not relevant as it is not about the starting date., but how Blair was in power when legislation was passed that helped his wife. i think you should look up the dates of when we entered the EEC, decimal came in in 1971 and so we would have joined earlier than that

also what Green does is not illegal wheras benefit cheats is. I believe Green should pay his tax as he has made his fortune form the nation

I would have thought that Reading may have been happy to have put a fee of say 100k. not in their wildest dreams would they have expected him to perform so well as they would not have run his contract down.Saints seem to have had an option put on Waigo that they did not exercise

So you are saying that the UK's opt out in the EU started in 2009 and that we joined the EU in 1961. As far as Im aware we have had the power to veto legislations from day one and that we didn't join the EEC until the late 1960's under Ted Heath

we have for customers, panel beating is my hobby for non -customers.

i agree but they had let his contract run down and so may have been happy to agree an option

Amazing Harold Macmillan has a lot to answer for, he managed to get us into the European Community years before Ted heath did, very forward thinking in fact did he let anyone else know we had joined at the time?

I would have thought that it would be sensible to put that in however short period he was coming to us

The original Human Rights legislation would be far removed from what has evolved including the discrimination laws. You are saying that the law was not changed/amended during Blairs premiership?

this splashing of big money is no good for us. NC will see that being in the PL will cost a fortune to get any semblance of success. WBA's directors seem to have got the balance right for their own wealth. Yo -yo club and take the rich pickings

Iam amazed that the club did not have an option put into the loan deal in case Antonio shone. They would have known he was out of contract in the summer and so Reading were there for a taking, now they have the whip hand

Iam sure that ML would have had the attitude 'the king is dead, long live the king' you can't dwell and I'm confident Marcus would have felt the same as it seems we were a project important in his life/death

Yes it was Europe wide but some of it we could have opted out of, but it was to Blairs advantage not to.

Wasn't the 11+ elitist and i suggest more costly to run as I think you will find class sizes were smaller and facilities better

Yep like the ambulance chasers on Claims Direct and Human rights lawyers who cost the taxpayer fortunes, who have had the laws tailor made by their husband. Yes lawyers are very important but sadly i have no time for many if them, as you no doubt can tell.
