Tbh I'm more interested in us selling players we don't want them I am in worrying about whether we replace them. If we have to have a season of playing youth players and not being very good, then so be it.

Genuinely good advice

Simply spend money to invest in things that create growth. Which reeves did in her last budget, so need to see that through and what results. Cutting spending doesn't help, as it reduces business investment, reduces growth and tax receipts fall. Spending creates business certainty, allows businesses to invest in staff, retooling etc, and can lead to increases in tax revenues beyond the original expenditure. Some forms of government spending can lead to 6x the benefits as the cost. This is the reason tax rates were higher under austerity than they were before it.

Not good enough but until we have the players to not play him, at least he tries

I went to a really interesting lecture a couple of years ago by a professor from the York school of business. He was talking about the changes to corporate governance introduced through Reaganomics/Thatcherism, and how in the US and UK a corporation legally only exists to increase shareholder value. The knock on effect is that everything that can be done to increase that value is done: hold wages down, reduce quality to cut costs, increase prices.... Basically all things that are bad for ordinary people and society. So we see CEOs (who shareholders appoint to directly look after their interests so they are well paid to keep them onside) wages massively increasing compared to other workers, and shareholders taking ever bigger shares of the national wealth. Meanwhile, prices rise, wages stagnate, quality is poor and ordinary workers get an ever smaller share of the national wealth. It's this that is the crucial problem we have today. Wanting to rebalance shareholders Vs workers so there is a sharing of national prosperity isn't the politics of envy, it's absolutely vital.

It's not earned income that would be taxed. The super rich have avenues to enrich themselves ordinary people don't have.

There was obviously a global financial crisis at the end of the labour term. But before that public services had record satisfaction levels and the economy had been in great shape. Labour twice ran budget surpluses, which we haven't seen for many decades in this country. Post-crisis there was a high deficit but it was temporary. It includes the hundreds of billions lent to banks to keep them afloat, v which they all repaid. Austerity locked in that temporary deficit by removing money from the economy. Public sector spending underpins the entire economy as pretty much all of it reaches the private sector. By reducing public spending, it had a hugely negative effect on the economy.

Sounds pretty much like the Tories over the last 14 years.

What's most incredible is the way the Tories, particularly Jenrick, are fighting against asylum hotels as if it wasn't then that caused the backlog and used hotels to house the immigrants. Jenrick literally went on national TV to talk about how he'd been negotiating with hotels. Some of the contacts they signed last until 2029. Yet they're trying to paint it as labour's fault.

I know my friend, and I was just clarifying that despite my focus on right wing media, the same is true of all media and social media.

It's irrelevant where it was. Until something is announced it doesn't exist. And there's also no way of knowing what other changes would happen at the same time even if it was a thing. Basically, and this is only my advice as somebody that used to get worked up about politics, stress about what is, not what could be.

It's usually a good idea to see the detail of actually announced changes, rather than worrying about random ideas that the media presents. Right wing media constantly screams about "labour are being advised to do x" or "labour are considering y" when all that means is either somebody entirely unconnected with labour want something labour aren't even thinking about (the first headline), or there's 10,000 different tax changes a government has to think about and it's just one of those (the second). Unless something is actually announced it's not a thing.

We've played just about every kind of football in his time here and he's crap at all of them

The list of crap we've bought on huge wages is ridiculous. Should be doing a Brighton - find young talent for decent cost and wages ,loan it out to get experience, then play them in the team, then sell for huge money before their wage demands get too big. Instead we've paid huge wages for untested players and been unable to get rid when they've failed.

Maybe we need a few more losses so the club reassess promotion as our goal for the season and we can use this year to blood our young players instead

Funny name for a brewery though

I get it's miserable but you are a fair weather fan. That's literally what one is. I felt no more connected when we had Milan mandevic and a new manager every other month. I think maybe fans are struggling with it now now as we came so close to being a regular at the top for years to come, we actually did the impossible and climbed the ladder, and we sort of know that was impossible, doing it a second time won't happen. Whereas previously we didn't even dare dream it. It's like we completed football and now we're back to being what is, let's face it, normal for Leicester city, it feels a bit pointless. But I refuse to not support the team, to not believe in the doubly impossible.

Where do you buy and keep your crypto? I'm looking to get some but it seems a lot more faffy than just buying stocks and shares

Transfer rumours are entirely made up by journalists and agents. I really, really wouldn't pay them any attention at all.

Assume we'll bring in a striker on loan on deadline day and it'll either be an old premier league player or a supposed wonder kid from a premier League team.

Havea look around the openreach website and you can find a document that lists every single exchange in the country and when it will be upgraded to full fibre. Might help you decide how long to sign up for. Masses of the country being done in the next 12 months.

And that's fine but my point was feel free to chant or argue against the leadership, but at least support the team on the pitch.

You have absolutely no idea if that's why. It might well be, but you don't know that. Have you ever run a decent sized company? I just get a bit fed up of people making out opinion is fact.

We've bought a load of rubbish players and the PSR rules, coupled with the fact nobody wants to buy our turds, mean we're struggling to turn things around. By all means complain about this to the club. But top hasn't done this intentionally. It came about because he pushed the boat out trying for success, but our failure to quite reach the promised land, coupled with those terrible signings, has ended up disastrously. By all means complain about that to the club. But we're not going to turn it around because the fans are not buying things or supporting the team properly. We don't really know what goes on behind the scenes, we just know there's been failure. Not buying a scarf makes no difference to the fact nobody wants to buy our worst players. And not supporting the team is just terrible imo. I wish our fans would stop having personal meltdowns and just think rationally. Things are crap, sing your anti Rudkin songs before and after the game, but support the team while it's being played.

Our fan base in recent years has been horrific. And it goes back to beyond just the last handful of poor years. The rot set in when we were decent and we've been left with the worst group of fans I can recall in 35 years supporting the club.
