Well said. The only thing I would take issue with is your view of Paul Barber and Tony Bloom. I dont know either of them but they appear to be intelligent and clear sighted. They must be looking at pricing all the time and it would be interesting to hear that thinking. I think the issue is one...

the key issue here is "with money to spend". I reckon the club gets about 1m to £1,5m per match from attendance. Over the season that is a maximum of about £30m .If they halved prices they would lose say £15m - the cost of a promising academy player. Hardly that significant balanced against the...

If it were your business and your money invested I doubt you would be quite so cavalier !

I think the club should worry about a general drop in interest. It is now very expensive for any groups/families to go , the changes in kick off time are very irritating and disruptive, and in winter times at least the whole experience of attending can be rather unpleasant especially as you get...

But why did Fabian not talk to him?. He should have have reassured him immediately not let him stew all weekend. Very poor and immature from Hurzeler who allowed the situation to become about his anger/frustration rather than the mental state of his player

At last someone with some economic literacy. Not only can we print money (as we have done very liberally over recent years) but we can borrow a lot more . 75% of government borrowing is owned by UK nationals and UK institutions. So one persons liability is another persons asset! You are quite...

How on earth do you know how Caicedo made his decision. The truth is you have no idea so dont be so arrogant. I suspect it was all about living in London near friends, family etc. He is after all very young and Liverpool is culturally hugely different from London. Wish the guy luck and see what...

Against a team playing as defensively as West Ham you just have to score the first goal. We had our chances and that would have changed the game, As it was one mistake and they had their goal. which they could then defend. On another day an entirely different outcome. Dont change the system...

I think I watched a different game to everyone else. I thought Luton did really well. In fact they played Brighton at their own game. They sucked them in with everyone behind the ball and then broke very quickly. They exposed Brighton on the flanks and could easily have scored 2 or 3. It was a...

Given the level of anger and general concern and In the name of transparency the EPL should publish a response (addressed to the club) to the 5 controversial points explaining how the conclusions were reached by VAR in each case. Depending on conclusions reached the VAR referees should be...

It will end sadly with a european or even international super league. Look at what is happening in golf as the model. Unlimited money will win out after some doomed resistance

I agree. My initial response to Potter leaving was to feel anger at his disloyalty and hypocrisy. But then you think about it and of course it is the system itself, awash with money, often from very dodgy sources, that inevitably leads to bad behaviour. I do blame Potter for seducing away the...

Yes however the incompetence or lack of courage of the people at the venue isn't really an important issue. The only thing that matters is whether his right to free speech is being restricted. That seems to me clearly not to be the case and he certainly doesn,t have the right to appear...

there are surely all sorts of free choices being made The venue has the right to put on who they like and cancel those they dont like the audience has the right to attend or leave the comedian has the right to say what he likes within the law By the venue cancelling this comedian no one is...
