Switching between overthrowing capitalism and investing in shitty stocksโ€ฆ and dad jokes. If we canโ€™t overthrow it, can we at least improve it by about 75%? (economics types love numbers). Love me sport. Sydney Swans, Man United, Tรญr Eoghain, Ireland๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ช

Arenโ€™t the markets supposed to be forward looking?

Matt Hancock criticises 'wholly naive' and 'hostile' Covid inquiry - BBC News The former health secretary was giving evidence about medical equipment deals during the pandemic.

Matt Hancockโ€™s neighbour and pub landlord suddenly got into the PPE business after being awarded a ยฃ40m Covid contract but Hancock is insisting that the inquiry is hostile.
He should be in prison.

They can do a number of things. They could have a gov overdraft where they donโ€™t pay billions in interest to the already rich. They could follow Japan and use the Central bank to control yields, or they could tax billionaires. But they chose the poor and working class as their targetsโ˜น๏ธ

Hereโ€™s how Rachel Reevesโ€™ Spring Statement must offer hope 'The government needs to recalibrate policies'

Austerity is a political choice.

UK govt gave ยฃ70.6bn tax relief on pension contributions.

63% went to 6m 40%/45% tax rate payers.
37% to 28.1m basic rate taxpayers.

By fixing the relief at 20% for all Govt can reduce inequalities and have ยฃ14.5bn spare.

End tax perks of the rich.

Well, it may just be that they donโ€™t want to remind people that we could build the new stadium for very little debt, if they hadnโ€™t of sucked a billion out of the club and spent decades undermining the club.
I hope youโ€™re right. ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿป

โ€˜Zippos circus is in town!โ€™ Can Man Utd really raise ยฃ2bn for a throbbing big top? Local lad Norman Fosterโ€™s plan envisions an enormous canopy over a new stadium and a โ€˜mixed-use mini-cityโ€™. But, given the clubโ€™s ยฃ1bn debts, the idea seems as flimsy as its own tensile membrane

www.theguardian.com/artanddesign...
Just a reminder that if it wasnโ€™t for the Glazers sucking the economic life out of the club, we would probably be able to build this with very little debt.
Parasitic,inbred, weirdos.

Ambitious, and it has to be tbf. Hard to see where the funds will
come from though. Going โ€˜brokeโ€™ by end of โ€˜25 to investing ยฃ2bn leaves a lot of questions.
Stadium naming rights is a given but will need massive equity raising (and hard to see the glazers green lighting that) and more debt.

The finished version rarely looks like the CPU image. I think it will look less โ€˜tent likeโ€™ in reality as the cables prob wonโ€™t be very visible from a distance away.

The US were pushing the โ€˜free tradeโ€™ agenda for years on the rest of the world, but as soon as itโ€™s no longer giving them the advantage, its tariffs and protectionism.

Thatโ€™s were community and collectiveness are sadly lacking. Ppl need to support each other but our modern society relies on conflict and competition.
Ppl aspiring to be the next Trump rather than being a decent human being

We don't need a London Office.

An entirely Glazer created thing because they assumed Manchester wasn't good enough.

Shut it down. A barnacle on the club

Couple of years ago, Ac Milan ultras did this against their owners and they succeeded.

It is time to do the same against The Glazers ๐Ÿ€ ? #MUFC

Richard Madeley compared Palestine to Nazi Germany, and then said that all the children killed were collateral damage of an essential invasion.

RT if him and his hideous views need to be banned from UK TV.

Youโ€™re correct about the rule but I just think itโ€™s a rule that should be tweaked to allow clubs to get their debt under control (or ideally eliminate it).
The whole point of FFP was to protect clubs.

15.02.2025 00:08 ๐Ÿ‘ 0 ๐Ÿ” 0 ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0 ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

But spending limits due to FFP could remain the same but the debt is paid off. All that would change is the club would be taken out of a precarious situation.

Sorry but are you saying a major shareholder cannot simply pay off existing debt under FFP rules?
That seems ludicrous!
I mean, itโ€™s not going to happen regardless, but fail to see the logic of this.

Tesla sales down 25% in Europe apparently. Musk alienating what would normally be a target demographic for EV cars (progressives) not the best business practice . Him and Trump are 2 peas in a pod; just not as smart as they think they are.
