The Fish

Even if you put £50m on last season's accounts, they're still in a financial hole. So even if some of the £350m loss could be attributed to COVID for the previous 3yr period, they haven't suddenly made £200m profit to get them back within the £100m loss for this new 3yr period, right?

Everton made something like c£350m losses over the past few years, when you're allowed to make c£100m losses. I have no idea how they've managed to convince the authorities that this is due to COVID but they have. It's utter bullshit and they should not only be facing transfer sanctions, but Leeds and Burnley surely have a case for compensation. Anyway, Selling Richarlison for c£50m gets some money back, and gets a presumably high earner off the wages. There's still a fucking huge financial hole they need to dig themselves out of. They'll likely need to sell others like DCL as peddling fringe players for £5-10m isn't really going to cut it. Issue with that is that if Calvert-Lewin leaves, the only remaining natural Centre Forward in the first team squad is Rondon. The only striker I've seen them seriously linked with is Emmanuel Denis from Watford, but the price would surely be a stumbling block?

Just an update to this. Had a zoom call with my boss', boss' boss. Spent 40 minutes of a 30 minute call talking about holidays, where we went to university, football and all that shit. At the end of the call he said he was impressed with my work and when he's next down in Manchester with my boss' boss he'd like us all to have a chat about a project that's coming up and then all go out for dinner. Oh, and today is a group-wide "Spirit of Me" day, where there are no internal meetings, no expectations for any work to be done. It's about taking time to do what benefits you, it can be studying, or organising, or joining a webinar about Women in business, or some mindfullness, or doing stuff with your family...

Ignore the rest of these arsehole. Glad 2nd date went well mate.

I agree. Jesus is a very good player, but is he a difference maker in terms of their aims for the season? I'm not sure.

If I was a better detective, I'd have anticipated that.

Batman's thing is that he's "The World's Greatest Detective". What did you think the D in DC stands for?

This isn't Easter, bucko. You won't see Jesus rise again.

I liked The Batman. Few clunky bits, but it was better than I thought it would be. Thought the antagonist was well done and liked that it leant harder into the detective side of the character, rather than the wham bam k'pow side of things.

Raphina Jesus Richarlison Fucking easy peasy.

I would happily make plans to meet up with CT in Chester.

Work smart, not hard.

She lives round my way. See her sometimes in Altrincham.

Pixel 6 should arrive tomorrow.

Oh this thing is purely for 'work'. Mostly it's used as a caveat when I'm away from the desk. "I've got to drop my car off and wait while it's being fixed. I'll have my phone on me" What that really means is "I'm meeting a mate for a coffee, I'll not reply to fucking anything while I'm gone unless it's an emergency, so don't ask". Pixel 6 looks nice. And if I can get it on 0% like Gemmil says, all the better.

You could held your nerve for a BOGOF deal if you'd waited for the summer sale. Or would that have been two tents?

Cheers lads. Got a Galazy A40 from work and it's... fine. Guess I'd need to use Android for a while to get used to the OS.

You could definitely make it work there. Might have an issue with the heliport mind.

Kid's going to listen to his agent though. If someone, with sufficient confidence, tells a 20yr old kid he knows what he's doing and all that, he's going to believe it.

Thing is, I didn't trawl through pages about NUFC for that, I randomly opened a thread about Watford and Qatar out of curiosity and there that ... insanity was.

Is this the return of the fabled 30,000 on the waiting list? We should send a few professionals to check in on a few of the more furious members on RTG

Oh, in case you were being serious £400-700

Utterly vile. Trump stacking the Supreme Court has just created a brand new legacy of poverty, crime and despair. I vividly remember reading a chapter in Freakonomics that argued Roe v Wade reduced crime more than police strategy did. America just took one more step towards a theocracy, even though a clear separation between church and state is codified in their Bill of Rights.
