@nqatpod Chelsea probably strengthened INEOS’s hand a little. No easy money owning a football team now & ultimately whether the Glazers feel the cash could be deployed better elsewhere.
@PaulVall17@DarranMarshall Paul, we’re going around in circles. You’ve 4 of the mag7 based in Ireland (which is fantastic - my business relies heavily on cross border trade). It is however completely pointless to draw any conclusions to how robust the average household spending power is without adjusting.
@PaulVall17@DarranMarshall Economy in the sense of the average family & how resilient they are in the cost of living debacle (as measured by disposable income in this case).
@PaulVall17@DarranMarshall Well, no. If you’re an employee at FB earning €200k you’ve a higher disposable income. When you remove those businesses you get a better sense of the strength of the economy. Not to mention the massive NGO estate in ROI. NI civil service is bloated for sure but without extremes.
@WestHam_Central Assuming you have no 25/26 PSR issues you’ll want to drag out as long as possible. Fee probably largely comes down to how much you need up front & how much United can afford.
@TirChonaillAbu@DarranMarshall Besides the point, it’s great there is so much money flowing into Ireland. To gauge the economy we need to remove Tech &, Irish NGO comple & NI’s heavy civil service reliance.
@TirChonaillAbu@DarranMarshall I forgot about IBM. - “1956 is also the year Ireland introduced Export Profits Tax Relief. That was effectively the seed of Ireland’s later low-corporation-tax strategy.”
