@MarkGladman5 @LNallalingham Yes keep the tories in… despite the fact they gutted defence / oversaw highest levels of immigration ever. Honestly no hope for some folk. 🤦‍♂️

[Richard Scowcroft @richardscowcrof]

@Im_RobM Outrageous post, how dare anyone say anything negative about slightly more technical longstaff.

[Richard Scowcroft @richardscowcrof]

@NUFCLC Completely agree, unfortunately his ability to bang in from range consistently keeps him in the team. But how many attacks fall apart because nothing else to his game.

[Richard Scowcroft @richardscowcrof]

@BuildTheWallton Top comment perfect.

@AdamDabrowski99 @Frencheconomics *and public sector pay was in free fall compared to private sector for the preceding 10 years. God forbid there is a tiny element of catch up.

@ttbwa1892 @markmckenzie7 Eden hazard (in 2019!) went for £130mill age 28.

@sportingminute For possibly the 1000th time. All this does is show you have no idea what PIF is or how it operates.

@TheLedge1916 @JakeJackmann Amen - it’s exhausting to read over and over again. It’s an investment vehicle. They do not day to day run every single thing they have shares in.

[Richard Scowcroft @richardscowcrof]

@DundonianGooner @TartoonArmy @CraigHope_DM But that’s the thing, both Liverpool (70s) and Man U (80s/90s)spent consistent disproportionate fees to build the brand until they didn’t need to because revenue is enough. So this ‘cheat party’ as you name it is almost unanimous, except now it’s been decided no one else can.

[Richard Scowcroft @richardscowcrof]

@DundonianGooner @TartoonArmy @CraigHope_DM Respectfully this is nonsense. Man Utd/chelsea, to a lesser degree Tottenham . All have had diabolical recruitment on a larger scale - however can spend their way out of trouble. NUFC have to have a near 100% hit rate on expensive signings. Before one even mentions salaries.

[Richard Scowcroft @richardscowcrof]

@BigBearKentlaar But they can only report what they’re told. Also undeniable in this paid for engagement environment some of these ‘journalists’ are just whipping up engagement via guesswork desperate to be first. Yes likely happens, done yet ? I’ll trust those who know the club.

[Richard Scowcroft @richardscowcrof]

@BigBearKentlaar Respectfully think you’re missing the point. The negotiations are via mediators. They seem to be progressing. Local journos, who have reliable track record, talk to NUFC who state no formal agreement as yet. They then report as such. It likely happens for sure… 1/2

[Richard Scowcroft @richardscowcrof]

@smudge298 @timricketts_ An entire generation of 17 year olds (!) told uni was the way to earn higher salaries and with the power of hindsight for huge numbers this hasn’t come to pass. And to top it off they’ve altered repayment terms and interest rates. If you think that’s fair then agree to disagree.

[Richard Scowcroft @richardscowcrof]

@smudge298 @timricketts_ Respectfully this is idealistic and not what has happened.
Gov changed the terms, altered interest rates and repayment thresholds after loans taken. Also some degrees have had altered earning potential in term it takes to apply and complete course.

[Richard Scowcroft @richardscowcrof]

@smudge298 @timricketts_ Doesn’t change the fact for certain higher earners who pay it off it may be perceived that way. - what about the majority who will never pay off that debt due to exorbitant interest rates?

[Richard Scowcroft @richardscowcrof]

@DrHuw Strange. Because the vast majority of that drop is over 2021-2023. Remind me of the spiteful envious government then? 🤦‍♂️

[Richard Scowcroft @richardscowcrof]

@NUFCrumours @WarBoyNUFC Agreed - don’t know what these people are smoking.

[Richard Scowcroft @richardscowcrof]

@Ledmagpie You missed the part where someone has to want to buy the other players…

[Richard Scowcroft @richardscowcrof]

@NUFC360 @AntonioMango4 This bloke is ignoring that the current ownership was hamstrung by putting really poor players on really long contracts which have no resale value. But it’s easy lazy journalism to pretend otherwise.

[Richard Scowcroft @richardscowcrof]

@eastlake_e @MarxdeMorais @spectator What’s spiteful exactly? Taxing schools that cost £10000+ per year so that 93% of the population can have slightly better funding? So incredibly spiteful 🤦‍♂️ if you can’t see that calling MPs ‘traitors and deserters’ is poisonous language - no hope for you.
