@dankelly13 Will be another rollercoaster for sure but hopefully a decent signing or two as soon as possible!

[Gareth Baigent @gazbaigent]

@dankelly13 Year end is 30 June so they will want them in numbers 1 July onwards but will depend on size of deals and when selling club wants the deal doing as well.

I honestly don’t know what club Oliver Glasner is going to end up at.

He might as well just stay at Palace for another year and win the Europa League.

🚨 💴 Barcelona have made a bid in the region of £70m for Anthony Gordon — and the Catalan giants are now in advanced talks with Newcastle.
❓ Personal terms aren’t expected to be a problem for the winger, but Bayern Munich remain interested in Gordon too.

[David Ornstein @David_Ornstein]

A farmer dies in April 2026.

His son inherits the farm. The farm has been in the family since 1847.

The farm consists of: 300 acres of grazing pasture, a farmhouse built in 1892, a barn, a milking parlour, two tractors of varying ages, a Land Rover that runs about 70% of the time, and a herd of 180 Hereford-cross cattle.

On paper, the farm is worth approximately £3.2 million. This is because land near him has been bought recently by a London hedge fund looking for carbon credits, which has dragged the comparable value of every field within forty miles upward to a number nobody local can justify.

In cash, the farm produces a profit of about £28,000 a year in a good year. In a bad year it loses money. The son also works as a fencing contractor three days a week to keep the operation viable.

The inheritance tax bill on a £3.2 million estate, even at the reduced 20% rate, comes to approximately £140,000 after the increased threshold is applied. The son does not have £140,000. The son has never had £140,000. The son has £4,200 in his current account and an overdraft.

The son sells 60 acres to a developer to pay the tax. The developer puts solar panels on the 60 acres. The remaining herd cannot be sustained on the reduced land. The herd is sold. The barn becomes a holiday let.

A different family eats Brazilian beef this Christmas without knowing why the price went up.

The Treasury collects £140,000.

The land never produces British food again.

Usual cycle with England at a World Cup. Slag off manager for crap squad pick. England shite in warm-ups & early in group. Heroically scrape thru. Two okish wins to get to q-fs. Manager’s a genius - football’s coming home. Plucky defeat. Not Tuchel’s fault. Blame Premier Lge. Etc

🚨🫡 BREAKING: Kieran Trippier will leave Newcastle United this summer when his contract expires.
✍🏼 The 35-year-old was the first signing after the takeover in 2021 and played a big part in convincing other players to join #NUFC
🗣️ Trippier: “The time has come to leave this amazing club after four-and-a-half years. This is where I have felt most at home. It’s emotional, and I’m really going to miss it.”
🗣️ Eddie Howe: “Kieran has been
magnificent for us on and off the pitch. From the moment he walked through the door, he has helped to drive standards that have changed the club’s trajectory.”
