What's the betting that the EFL reject our sufficiency plans, saying - "how can you project your funds to operate a football club with only 5 players on the books"?  Thereby killing us in the devil's embrace

We should probably club together 5p each and buy a patreon account from him, then just share his posts relevant to DCFC in a private forum here. 
I realise that some may question the ethics of that, but I refuse to discuss ethics when it comes to The Sun newspaper

I struggle to understand why we make it so easy for landlords to own so much property. Hard to see what real benefit having loads of private landlords has.
I guess a big change in rules would cause an immediate shock to the housing market, that may have unintended consequences.
Perhaps regularly increasing taxation on earnings of 2nd properties could do the trick, with much more aggressive tax where multiple properties are owned.
All those empty properties owned by foregin investors too. Surely that is easy to sort out as well?

It is indeed nuts. My eldest is 26 and has been in the same steady job since he was 18. As he doesn't have a partner the bank won't lend to him at the level he'd need to afford a house. Even though his mortgage would be less than what he's been paying in rent for several years
 
 

The housing situation is disgusting at the moment. 
I left home at 18 in the mid 90's, and even as a poorly paid manual worker I could just about manage a mortgage on a 3 bed semi with my then girlfriends wages. 
No chance of that happening today, my lads 22 and is in a similar position, but despite 6 years of savings he's nowhere near being able to move into a home of his own. 
Buy to let has completely distorted the market, alongside the lack of new stock.
I know steps have been taken to make BTL less attractive, but these steps have just made it slightly harder to be a new landlord, rather than discourage the practice altogether. 
For me it's simple, you own one house you actually live in, and no more.
Let investors risk their money on the stock market, or other Investments, and let property be the essential thing we live in, not an asset to be plundered.

Feels like I've waited a long time for this so allow me a moment

Been doing it awhile (71 days it says)
I don't get the competitiveness and the constant need for people to share their daily scores online
It's literally a guessing game and your daily score is always one of chance dependent on how many letters you get right on the first 2 gos, In the end it only really tests how many 5 letter words you can think of. 
I'd be interested to look at the average distribution of scores after 100 games. As it stands I have scored 5 the most (23), then 3 (20) and then 4 (14) with only 8 going to 6 guesses and 5 flukey 2s
I suspect most people's distribution will be similar

I’m missing something here. If it’s been surpassed twice, how is it a record?

It's pathetic - one of the most senior sports "journalists" in the country, and he feels the need to start a private Patreon service to feed even more gossip to sportsfans who are stupid enough to pay him for the privilege. Stuff he hasn't the balls to say in public, but will happily get paid to foist it on morons
I hope this backfires on him spectacularly and he gets sued for breaking an NDA somewhere

Trying to work out possible scenarios here, so bear with me
We know that MM didn't pay the players on at least one occasion, because he was expecting the new owner to be in place - so not inconceivable that he also missed an instalment of his MSD repayments for the same reason.
Curious to know if the MSD loan has continued to be repaid since we've been in Admin, or whether the payments were frozen until we came out of admin? If that were the case, then it may go some way to explain why MM chose to go down the admin route

Lest we forget the legendary Wardrobe played for England U-19s but later decided that he would much rather turn down the chance of playing up front for the Three Lions in favour of a few Scottish caps. A tough decision for him!
