So you just want to spend the Saudi millions and then what? The ones without sovereign state money will be moaning just like you are now. At least spurs have built their own revenue.

@TTIDTHFC Explain how the fuck anyone is meant to crack the top 6 if it uses 20 seasons of data then?

Need to outperform members of the top 6 for 20 seasons to get in then?

Great system

The election of Governments does not solve this problem whilst the EU remains a technocracy with its senior leaders installed rather than elected. Bring on a federal EU.

[Alexander Stahel 🌻 @BurggrabenH]

This is the right reaction. Now get it done!

The time has come to suspend Schengen until voters across Europe use their brains, not false tolerance, and elect governments that rigorously protect Europe's external borders. Period.

No doubt, Schengen has been a spectacular success, at least by certain metrics. It now spans 29 countries, from Portugal to Poland, and serves some 450 million Europeans who broadly share the same values and way of life.

Four decades on, it remains one of Europe's greatest achievements for people who want to contribute to our societies.

People who want to work, study, build a better future, travel or simply live across borders. You can drive across multiple countries without ever stopping at a border checkpoint. That is remarkable.

But as a mechanism for preserving European solidarity after the illegal migration crisis of 2015, Schengen has been a profound failure.

The catastrophic Merkel government helped set this process in motion with its "Wir schaffen das" policy. But it was far from alone.

Governments across Europe embraced mass immigration from societies with sharply different cultural traditions (Deutsch: Kultur-fremden Regionen), including Africa & the Middle East, while allowing the systematic abuse of our asylum laws.

The latest example came in Ceuta, where scenes of illegal migrants storming Spain's North African border looked less like orderly migration than something from another age. The footage was surreal. Primitive, chaotic and utterly unacceptable.

If a government refuses to defend Europe's external border systematically, it mustn’t get unrestricted access to Europe's internal one.

Shut the f**cking border with Spain until Spanish voters replace @sanchezcastejon and his corrupt cronies.

No more tolerance for the intolerant. Basta.

Is it just me or is this window VERY quickly turning into a fcking shit show already??

Robertson, Senesi, Van Hecke, Tonali, Fernandes and Dubravka are all good signings but we cant get Savinho over the line until Man City sign a replacement which could be a very long wait and weve been chasing him for over a year now and no closer to signing him now than we was back then....

Weve now sold Vuskovic, Thompson, and Devine, and are selling Bergvall, Lankshear, Phillips, potentially Djed, Donley, and Tel
Romero our Captain is being offered to Chelsea whos a direct rival, when we still need to try and sell the likes of Vicario, Solomon and Sarr

We was all excited for the splurge in signings but it looks to me clear as daylight like the board are looking to balance the books by any means necessary even if it means selling your pipeline of youth and once you start offering your club captain to a direct rival, you know its a mess

The window is becoming a shambles

[Maxi @AllForProgress_]

On Thursday morning a company called Rotork, which most of the country has never heard of and all of it should be proud of, agreed to stop being British.

It makes the valves and actuators that open and close the flow in pipelines, reactors and water works - an unshowy, world-beating Bath engineering business that has been trading since the 1950s, and it is being bought by the Swiss group ABB for £4.1 billion. The board said yes to a price 73% above where the shares had sat the day before.

That premium is the whole story in one number. A foreign buyer looked at a British company and decided it was worth almost twice what the London market said it was. They are not being generous. They can see what our own market cannot bring itself to price: that British firms are going for a song, and the money that knows what it is doing is scooping them up before the rest of the world catches on.

Rotork is not alone, and it is barely this week's biggest. Foreign takeover offers for British companies have already passed £150 billion this year, the highest since anyone began counting in 1980, and 86% of every takeover in Britain by value is now a foreign buyer lifting a domestic company off the board. Intertek, Schroders, Tate and Lyle, the food half of Unilever, Gooch and Housego of Torquay sold to a private-equity shop in Washington last week - the flag comes down on one after another, and the queue of new British companies coming to market to replace them is next to empty.

This is what a country looks like once it has made itself cheap and persuaded itself that being cheap is the same as being open for business. Five years of the highest energy costs in the developed world, a tax system that bills a firm for existing, gilt yields that make capital dear, and a Government that greets each sale as a vote of confidence - and the result is a fire sale, handed to you as a compliment.

When the deal completes, the thing does not merely change hands. The head office goes. The senior jobs go. The profit that used to circulate here is routed to Zurich or to a fund in Delaware, the research follows the money out, and a firm that answered to British shareholders answers instead to people who owe this country nothing. Our own pension funds, which ought to be first in the queue to buy Rotork cheap, gave up holding British shares years ago - so the cheapest good assets in the Western world are being bought by everybody except the British.

Progress means to make Britain the place these companies are built to stay, the cheapest industrial energy in Europe where today we suffer the dearest, a tax system that rewards the firm keeping its headquarters and its people on this soil, and pension rules that put British savings back to work in British enterprise. We built the finest companies in the world here once. We can keep the next ones.

Every board that says yes to a foreign premium is taking the only rational choice a broken system leaves it. That system was a political decision, and a political decision can undo it, the moment this country puts into office people who want it to own the things it makes. Until then the sale goes on, one unshowy world-beater at a time, and one morning we will look up and find the shelf bare.

Tottenham for 17 seasons finished in Europe. The same opportunity all the premier league clubs had for growth 10 years ago Tottenham took.

Tottenham had a little 36k stadium with average revenues the owners spent £1.2B on a stadium to improve its revenue stream to be able to compete with the biggest and best clubs in the world.

No capitalist investment
No Oil money
No back handers from parliament

Your small minded opinion and questioning of Tottenham and the rules shows your poor understanding of the PSR & FFP and how football finance works.

Tottenham sold their best players season on season and saved the money for the stadium deposit while people laughed (Spursy) whilst being prudent on wages and always having the lowest wage bill in the top 6. Tottenham went 500 days signing no players and still delivered a top 4 finish and getting to a ucl final.

Manchester City 115, Chelsea 2 transfers bans, Aston Villa, Newcastle United, Nottingham Forest, Everton, all breaking the rules recently, Tottenham no breaches of the rules for 20 + years.

Tottenham has been the stick for all the indigenous top 6 to laugh at, and the fear of Tottenham was turned into laughter, before you come yapping on twitter learn the basics of your subject matter.

9th richest club in the world generating £550m without European Football(More than Newcastle United & Aston Villa combined), £600m plus with European football

- Get Beyoncé & Travis Scott in
- build an f1 track
- Get the boxing in
- launch a skywalk
- get a £50m shirt sponsor
- Do a deal with the NFL
- wait 10 years for it all to come together

That’s how ☕️

[Anglo Futurism Capital LP 🇬🇧🐿️ @RollingHedge]

Oh for fuck’s sake give it a rest…

Brexit was FACTUALLY a de minimis footnote (I voted remain in 2016 so don’t even start…) when compared with a raft of the worst policy decisions imaginable since the end of WW2 across virtually all policy areas, by fuckwit politicians…

To name some of the biggest offenders:

- Most expensive energy in the developed world fuelling inflation across every good and service going - and net zero cultish insanity crippling our economy; we now make virgin steel only via emergency nationalisation in all but name - mainly because windmills and solar don’t produce the joules to produce concrete or steel, to build stuff

- Shuttering North Sea oil whilst buying the same stuff from the Norwegians who banked the oil: two trillion in the tank, three hundred grand a head, a quarter of the budget paid forever

- PFI. Blair and Brown fancied hospitals that didn’t trouble the books, so they put them on tick with loan sharks. £60b of buildings, £300b out the door, NHS still paying through the nose for a car park and a leaky roof.

- Tories borrowed the best part of £400bn at 0%, the cheapest money in three hundred years, and what have we got for it? Furlough, a fortune in PPE that didn’t work, and ~£20b handed to chancers with fake ltd co’s. Nothing built. Nothing that pays you back. The lot, gone. And here’s the one nobody says out loud… Money was free. Risk free. Rates at zero for the best part of a fucking decade. If a govt or their perm secs had any sense that was the moment to issue a 30y infra bond and build the grid, the reactors, the track, the housing, lock the cost in at basically nothing and let it pay for itself for two generations. Norway would’ve had it done by lunch. We didn’t issue a penny of it. Now the long end’s at 5.5 and the door’s now bolted shut. We had the cheapest money in history and spaffed it all.

- Capital markets that don’t work since Blair and Brown’s various legislative and regulatory changes, making pension fund allocations lower going into British companies, and making it harder and more costly to raise capital to grow and keep businesses here paying taxes and employing people - the collective cost of this to British households is conservatively estimated to be around £20trillion (per @andyroocraig’s figures) and countries that were literally communist within living memory are on track to overtake us this decade, on the IMF’s own numbers. Oh, and Mississippi HAS already overtaken us on GDP per capita basis (they are the butt of all poverty jokes in the US)

- Brown flogged 395 tonnes of gold, over half the national reserve, in 17 auctions between 1999 and 2002, at about $275 an ounce, near a twenty-year structural low. They call it “Brown’s Bottom” for a reason. Pocketed $3.5b but I t’d be worth around $52b today. So that socialist genius cleared the lot at the bottom of the market and torched the thick end of £40b in one decision (because he like many politicians since the 90s is a retard with no real world understanding)

- P90/P10 wage compression under social democracy is demonstrably worse than even the Soviets managed under Gosplan ffs

- Selling off and sweating various other national assets to fund our absurd debt borrowing pile that has mostly been spaffed up the wall on zero return or loss making initiatives / welfare socialism etc

- Series of the worst trade deals imaginable (pre and post Brexit)

- Too much of people’s money tied up in the resi property Ponzi scheme doing nothing (other than now: losing value in realtime)

- Planning laws that stop anyone building infrastructure on housing

I could go on…

Plus we have rising long yields now, which are (TL;DR) the price of having destroyed your own structural buyer base and then issuing into the gap while the central bank sells on top. Brexit doesn’t appear anywhere in that mechanism either.

So, this creepy obsession you have with Brexit is weird, lame and entirely worn out.

Bin.

Send him on loan to every corner of the British Isles.

Make him count down the days to 30 June 2030.

And then when he thinks he’s free, activate the 1y extension.
