Vanguard now running at a 16% return, more than happy with that - got a 50/50 split between the 80% and 100% LifeStrategy Equity Fund. Expecting it will tail off at some point soon.

If he is eligable for DLA middle or higher you get a certificate as proof, that would be useful to use.

That's absolute rubbish and insensitive from the club, you don't get a certificate! I'd be taking that higher up if I were you. It is very long winded, has he got an EHCP, if so show them that? What are they promising once you have proof?

I'd honestly contact the club, you want to get the first experience right.

I see noone has mentioned Toni Kroos

Reckon he could cut it in the prem?

No, but it fits the description!

Let me know if you make any progress - it’s a long standing ambition to take my son but he doesn’t even understand what football is yet unfortunately.

Ate some on holiday in the summer

It will come down to who has the most money due to FFP, can see Villa losing out next season and needing to sell to buy.

Thats a pipedream mate

Striker. One more winger to replace Albrighton.

He probably would of done afterwards too had he not shafted her for all that cash.

Legend, will miss him like mad, but given how tight money is even if we are promoted, the club would be daft to chuck a massive contract at him either length or ££. £50K a week or something would be about right. His priority will be money as he has a nightmare wife and about 6 kids - best bet would be Saudi or the MLS

Wrong thread mate

Bet he was unbearable after full time

Is this the guy who’s dad’s a bit of a bell3nd at away matches? Or am I thinking of someone else

Karen Brady’s daughter is a worldie btw, just not on tv

They have single handedly proven why there is so much £££ wasted in the NHS every year

This is such a 2023 thing isn’t it. Dread to think what PE is like these days at school

This is a great attempt John to gather some positivity but you’re on the wrong forum for that!

If you are going to make a point at least get it right, he was potentially ''first choice'' after BR got sacked, before we moved for Dean Smith. Enzo was at Man City.

The players in the summer that were recruited and are now top and expected to beat the Championship points record, alongside the manager who was recruited out of nowhere to coach them? Presume It wasn't Top or JR that recruited them, was it someone else?

Rudkin could quite easily be a director of a number of King Power companies and not do an hours work, from a company secretarial perspective. I can't be arsed to check companies house but I suspect thats the case. Just because he's listed as being involved doesn't mean he's splitting his time equally by any means. I think the overarching reaction is a bit OTT, we are top by some way, have the best squad in the league despite not signing this bloke. No-one, despite attempts at being keyboard DofF have no idea how tight things are with FFP - lets just assume it's really tight, it's a harder world to operate now than even 6 months ago. Without causing offence, 90% of posters on here don't have a clue what it's like to run a business, nevermind one the size of a football club, with angry stakeholders outside your window at every opportunity. This isn't an almighty defence of Rudkin, just reality. I don't think its necessary to go after someone with such vitriol- Rudkin, Top, Susuan Whelan or whoever. If you're in Reading or Sheff Weds position then maybe it's justifiable. The same people will be wittering in the depression thread about how it's good to talk, check on your mates, hope you're not struggling - I'd imagine if Rudkin or one of his family members read 70 odd pages of this they would feel sick. To conclude, this doesn't mean we settle for mediocrity (I'm aware we've won the league, FA Cup, CL Qtr finalists) but for a club our size that was an overachievement, we are where we are now in a similar position to where we've been in our entire history.
