All can recall is the furore when the wealth tax was being spoken about in the 70's. It was reported at the time as his wife was American they had put ther money in trust/transferred to the US. Im too lazy /not good at trawling through the net for info.If it is not on the first 2 pages of Google pack in. Another poster has shown you his avoidance of tax but of course that's ok.A man who wants to share with the workers...well your and my money anyway.

I dont think having a broken foot is something the club could predict, the fact that he played a game with it shows he has grit and determination.I havent read what the OS has said on it but that is what has happened.

I agree I think they all are a bunch of snakes,

Thankyou, it is as i would have expected but I needed confirmation of that.

To be fair dide we in the run in last season? Bristol City and Sheff U were good but the home game against Burnley was about the worst i can recall in years.

Absolutely no chance of saving this season!!!! Alpine come on, you dont believe that really do you? This time last season we had just lost 5-0 away to Hull and drawn our home game 0-0 to Coventry.We followed that by an away defeat to Cardiff and then a home win to Bristol. That left us with 4 games to play and lost 1 drew 2 and won 1. That form was hardly awe inspiring. In the last 7 games last year we took 9 points,(2 wins 3 draws and 2 defeats) if we improve on that , I believe we will then we will stay up.

Why,surely it isnt binding. He is better placed than most to understand the ramifications of doing so.

Clapham as you have experience as an administrator would you be fearful of us going into it? I believe it would be disasterous but it would be useful to know your feelings. Apologies if you have answered this elsewhere.

Stanley It is hard to evaluate the clubs performance on the back of rumour that we are going inot administration, the club perhaps being relegated.Of course the shares will drop but if we stay up they will recover a bit.If we push for promotion they will rise again. Football shares are hard to compare against other businesses. Now of course people will rightly say that the performance of the club reflects the share price , but they may also see that the club took measures to ward off instant crisis and are in the middle of emergency surgery. The damage has been done since relegation and then not making sure we could ride the storm if we didnt go straight back up.You cannot spin the roulette wheel and then not have bad results if it does not win.

I feel sorry for her in respect it is embarrassing i suspect that she is not able to fulfill his needs.It is their private business but unfortunately it has been brought into the open. She will now forever have the tag pointed at her and I doubt her political career will procede much more.As a tax payer im more concerned that these claims were habitual and are just the tip of the iceberg. I also wonder if the MP had to come from the area and so it would stop MP's being parachuted in to safe seasts, that would end the arguement for constituancy homes, and also have advantage that the person elected understood the local issues.

and when she makes a claim for him to have treatment on his repetitive strain injury i assume that will be allowed.

It was stated on the radio he was on 40k!!!

but they dont need pay increases as they can fiddle as much as they like and have loads of apologists who try and defend them. I have at no time tried to defend MP's of other parties who have steppd over the line, it is about time others did so.

Fuengirola you can spout all your pro Labour stuff as i presume you are not having to live in all the rubbish that the government has put our way.It is their policies thqat have helped you receive 25% less for your £ now by the way. The nation is on its knees and i can see little improving, unless the country make things the world requires we cannot carry on borrowing, sooner or later the world is going to think that we are bankrupt and then the pound will go through the floor. if you rely on a pension or investments from the UK you will not be happy then either.

It depends if you make sure you find ways of not putting what we would call a fair shhare in the pot. I dont know what his politics are but Sir Phillip Green who owns BHS etc is a tax exile , he enjoys the wealth created here to live tax free.It is people like that who i dislike.Labour mp'S who create taxs for everyone after making sure they can avoid it as well. I want the nurses to earn 10k a wqeek the moiners 10k a week as long as i dont in any way have to fund it.It s easy to be a socialist as long as you dont have to fund it.

To be fair if Wotte does lead us to safety would it not be then damned stupid to get rid of him??? His record to do so will be a lot better than NP's or any of the other past managers and so will have earned the right in my opinion. If we go down then we need to take stock but Wotte has impressed me by his uniting of the dressing room his understanding how to work in this league.

It may have been trivial to you EFM

Victor I wholeheartedly accept the apology and may I offer my own. Saints are a passion and we all can sometimes take that too far.

No Im not contradicting it probably is done to my poor way of explaining my thoughtsWhat is stopping the banks lending is that they have to make their books balance and so lend from other banks.Otherbanks are worried to lend to each other as they are not sure of each others postion, therefore they dont want to lend to a bank who then go wobbly, they then in turn may be so due to losing that money.I hope you get my drift.If all the toxic debt from all the banks are depositied at the BOe they all know the position and so they then can be confident to lend to each other and so in turn lend to the greater economy. i am very much agianst the bonusses, the dividends are different. The dividends are paid to shareholders who are mainly pension companies the man in the street. they by investing by buying shares are in a way loaning and so expect a return on their money.if they got nothing back they may as well leave it in the building society and so the companies would be starved of money and would never have expanded in the first place.

But it isnt already in train, its different.The cutting of individual debt and stopping some of the government spending plans are not either. The best brains in the world are trying to find different ideas so why you think I should have them is another thing.GB didnt think what we have now it was a whizz kid who thought it up.My questions to you have still not even been addressed. Do you now accept that taking the regulations away from the BOE was a mistake? You tried even to blame Thatcher yesterday and then wax lyrical about Wedgewood Benn. Intelligent man he is visionary he is not. BTF I read 'Callaghan allowed Benn to put forward his "alternative economic strategy", which consisted of a siege economy. However this plan was rejected by the Cabinet.' Do you know what the siege economy was it's something I have never heard of before?

Victor if you had put up such a post originally you wouldnt have had me get up your nose.You IMo came on and tried playing the Billy big boots calling me foolish, a dinlo , stupid etc. My original post was put in good faith and my wording was easily to be misunderstood but you knew what i was getting at but tried to be smart. Planning is as you know very complex and it always helps if you have the authorities on your side and if they ask for good emergency access or even if the architects suggest so you go for it.Add to it the laws of the league who after tradgedies were very sensitive to the emergency services getting into the grounds.Tell us if you know of any new build stadia where the pitch is close to the stands? i doubt any have been built that way and will be a thing of the past. Iam glad the club went for SMS and i dont hold the stadium responsible for our demise, it is a great stadium, and although it is the same as many we have not been lumbered with even more debt. I myself dont know if the stadium could have been built with the stands raked back and more individuality, it seems more costly to me and surely would not provide such a good view as the seats would be in the gods. Your best part which i would be fully behind was to make a feature that was identifiable with SFC. Iassume as the stadium was just a template from others and so cheaper that would not have been so easy.

BTF as i have explained it is different from what is happening already, only LLoyds and Hbos have taken full advantage of the BOE scheme. I dont think you should keep trying to discrediting my posts.Benns wife was American and i was talking about when Labour were last in power and so posting in the present. You still did not answer my points to you but move on and hope people dont notice. I also have put my solutions to the problem but as they dont fit in with throwing money at the problem you ignore it.George Soros a man of far greater financial knowledge than us has given his views today and perhaps you should sit back and digest his words because they are very worrying if they come true.

I can see where you are coming from but on the other hand you have to deregulate responsibly. To let bankers oversee themselves is always going to be asking for trouble, the same would be if you let any profession with the access to massive bonusses. Your second point is correct to some degree, banks can voluntarily go forward and let the bank take the debts but they basically lose their independance. The way i see it is that they keep their independance but also free themselves to get on with running their business with each othe as it has always been done.of course it is hard to tell how much toxic debt there is but taking it from the banks for 10 years will give them time to breathe and at the same time time will erode the problem.Yes we as taxpayers will still feel some of the burden but we will get that anyway.

His wife being American had their wealth transferred there.I was only in my early teens then but there was a furore then about it.Im not saying he hid it, he protected it, thats what very wealthy people can do.he also got rid of his peerage (?) , it doesn't sit well when you are with the great unwashed he found. Champagne socialists are the worst kind Imo, always talk a good game but still enbjoy the perks of power and wealth.I find it hypocritical.having saying that he is a very bright person. Give it all away if you believe in all being equal.

You better keep me on ignore so you can live in that lovely fluffy world you do.I will also say i progressed from Airfix models to other types of models in my single days.
