Agree AT. It needs "something" :-) As Thatcher might have said to the unions, the landbanks/developers need more stick and less fcuking carrot.

Other thing is to setup some sort of government backed scheme to encourage self build. Make it easier for individuals to find plots and finance the build. Again, with robust rules around actually living in the property and not for multi house owners etc.

All part of the con, driven by developers. Affordable as you say has no reference to average wages, but vs the market, which already ain't affordable. At planning time, the LPA's demand a percentage of "affordable housing," but the developers often get out of a chunk of that volume when updating vi...

First thing is to properly define affordable. It seems to be based on an arbitrary percentage below market rate. Given market rate is the problem you'd have to constantly shift the percentage blow up, and in a couple of decades at current rate probably 90% below! You can argue specifics, but surely ...

Bucks Palace sold to developers ?
Get a big chunk of social housing on there - Vote winner, mate.

Parliament too. Thames water could save some money and not bother with sewers, what with being on the river..

Olympiakos won the UEFA conference league, in Athens. Going to be some ouzo hangovers today. First Greek (club) team to win a European final. (I suppose the only thing sweeter for them would have been doing it at Panathanaikos' ground rather than AEK). Aahh, thanks. Next question...what is the conf...

Lovely moment tonight for Stelios' former club in his home town.

This will be ridiculously huge in Greek football.

Until then I reserve the right to be a bit miserable some days
Yup. You have that right.

Something is rotten in the state of Lostock, but not everything.

I also have midges and customers to battle on a daily basis

Ah well, at least our keeper will just about do........ OK, so just to recap. You expect us to sign - as an absolute minimum to even compete in this league: Top level, captain-ready centre half + 2 x "Karl Henry-esque" midfielders, at least one who has plied their trade a level above + 2 good winge...

There's loads to be positive about. It's just hard to be so after such a disappointing finish last term. We have a team with loads of goals in it, protected by good contracts and with no players aging out. We've freed up wages and have zero fat. Plenty of managers will envy Evatt's position this su...

^^The issue with Nlundulu is not that it was a poor transfer. It’s the hubris of Evatt thinking that we can develop him into the next ‘Ivan Toney’ and that as a league one club we can afford to take such risks with limited resources and the idea we don’t need to pour every thing we have into gettin...

I'll step back a little as my arguments are made. I leave you with this quote from "Lord of the Flies"... William Golding, 1983. "The theme is an attempt to trace the defects of society to the defects of human nature. The moral is that the shape of a society must depend on the ethical nature of the...

What exactly are they going to vote for at sixteen that we can't sort out at fifties plus, free mobile phones and x Boxes for all ? ? Bearing in mind also of course that the next generation of soldiers, sailors and air personnel are likely to be our grandchildren and great grand children. Frighteni...

Whether we should or shouldn't be in L1 is immaterial. Ultimately a good manager gets the best out of the players at his disposal. The best managers manage to get more than the sum of the players out of them. Evatt probably comes in at decent. He mostly gets a decent tune out of them, but not consis...
