« Last post by ChrisOH on Today at 12:41:26 pm »What a pack of lying bastards.
I've just had all the crap from Scottish power saying about the increases and other changes from 1st April.
My unit prices have gone from 48.6p per kwhs to 61.8p per kwhs although the daily standing charge has come down by 2p per day. It then tells me that based on my last 12mths usage my annual costs will only increase by £1!!
I've just done the calculation and I'll need to increase my mthly DD from £90 to £162.50.
How the fuck is that a £1 increase??
The 62p per kWh doesn't include the Energy Price Guarantee, which will drop it back to around 36p per kWh.

« Last post by Fromola on Today at 12:37:19 pm »Yeah our midfield is shit. Rabiot still isn't the level that we want in a midfielder. Also we talk about Mount wanting high wages, Rabiot would want stupid money
I do genuinely think he is bad, not at top 4 premier league level. Yeah he walks into our midfield but our midfield is shocking. He is not the level we want.
He seems like a signing Barcelona would make; mediocre and high wages. To be honest I actually wouldn't be shocked if he ends up there
He's crap, you may as well keep Arthur. Huge stepdown from the likes of Kante, France having him playing in midfield at the World Cup. Got overrun in midfield a few times as a result.

Liverpool FC Forum / Re: The Men in Suits behind the scenes
« Last post by Al 666 on Today at 12:32:44 pm »For one, there's no salary cap in MLB and deferring wages on big money, long term, contracts in MLB is very common. I'd bet if you look at the majority of all long term contracts that have been signed recently you'd see the same structure.
Surely the competitive balance tax is in place to cap the amount teams pay in Salary. The punitive payments for continued breaches act in the same way as a salary cap. Especially in the way, they become increasingly punitive for consecutive breaches.
Furthermore deferring salary payments is just a mechanism to allow teams to get around the luxury tax in the short term. Saying other teams are doing it, doesn't make it right. I am sure they would have something to say if teams in the Premier League were deferring large chunks of players' salaries for a decade.
In the States, Henry in particular has been very vocal about Revenue sharing a system that pools 31% of each team's net local revenues and then equally distributes it equally amongst all thirty teams. A system that creates a competitive balance. The equivalent in Football is the way FSG have ensured that the big 6 have grabbed a bigger share of the International broadcast revenues. Something that destroys the competitive balance and makes the rich clubs richer.
For me, FSG wants to create an artificial system that benefits the way they run their clubs. On one hand, they want to prevent the likes of City, Newcastle and PSG from spending in a way that gives them a huge competitive advantage over us. On the other, they wanted to create a ESL that gave us a huge advantage over the majority of the League.
There are no altruistic intentions from FSG. They just think they can build a structure of suits at the club that can outperform our rivals in an artificial Football environment. The question is what happens if they can't create an artificial European Super League that benefits their modus operandi?
Can they create a new structure at the club that will allow us to compete with the Nation states? For me the big questions are whether we can bring in significant investment in the short term and whether Gordon continues to run the club or if we go for a more European DoF model.

« Last post by Stockholm Syndrome on Today at 12:31:23 pm »He is actually a decent player
Probably more goals combined than all our midfielders this season.
So if he is shit as you say he is then our midfielders bar Thiago are now at a worse level.
Yeah our midfield is shit. Rabiot still isn't the level that we want in a midfielder. Also we talk about Mount wanting high wages, Rabiot would want stupid money
He obviously isn't shite - he just started a World Cup final, he's been playing well for Juventus this season and would probably walk into our current midfield in terms of form and ability. But the drama and baggage that comes along with him makes it a non-starter.
I do genuinely think he is bad, not at top 4 premier league level. Yeah he walks into our midfield but our midfield is shocking. He is not the level we want.
He seems like a signing Barcelona would make; mediocre and high wages. To be honest I actually wouldn't be shocked if he ends up there
