Its that sort of thinking that helped fucked over the housing market
For the same price I paid for my 2bed flat which is a renovated tenement I could have had a brand new modern one just up the road that had bedrooms literally half the size of mine (if ya can fit a double bed in its a double bedroom. fuck having wardrobes, floor space etc), a kitchen/living room that is smaller than just my living room and 1 parking space (I have a selection to choose from)
Why was it the same price? because it was brand new but it is now worth about 40-50% less than it was when bought. Tenement flats have dropped a max of 20%
They are shit to live in.
Cheap to make, quick to build, people will buy them because they are brand new and look nice in the brochure.
Then the cheque clears and they realise that theres no storage, the rooms are all tiny and those apparent quality finishes are actually that great.
Build each house for £50k. sell each house for £150k. 100 house development nets you 10million profit
You think developers get rich by 'spending' money?
quite frankly it is people like you that are ruining the game by daring to suggest that such a link exists and that you might sully my good name by revealing it
Fuck Thursday night. Far as im concerned that is a game for the youth team with a couple of borderline first teamers. The cover is required for August 15th when celtic come a calling. Spending too much time chasing a player is a bad idea but even worse is signing someone up wthout putting any thought in to it. I really hope the opening line in the negotiations isnt 'so can ya be in the czech republic for Thursday morning. If it is they may as well stick the ball gag in and bend over the players agents desk.
Im gonna go out on a limb here
see this Milne character
He went form having about £200 in his pocket to form one of the biggest development firms in the UK amassing a personal fortune of several tens of millions.
He then made a real mistake by investing in his local football club for which i will be fucking amazed if he has EVER seen a return on his money.
He is not a stupid man so he will be looking to jump ship at the first opportunity to end this drain on his finances so ask yourself why he hasnt?
If he walks with no replacement the club goes under. Fans like you lynch him
If he walks and hands control to some wannabe who takes the club under he will be blamed for the demise, not the new guy. fans like you lynch him
From this I conclude that he hasnt walked because either
1) NO ONE wants his job
2) Those that have expressed an interest dont have the money or the intelligence to keep the club alive.
The club is apparently 'nearly standing' on its feet' you say.
I see that as 'we are actually not making a loss each season, keep this up and we might actually start to clear this debt and show we are worth being invested in.'
Do you see it as 'we are all fixed now so start giving us moneyto blow on over inflated wages so we can have 1 or 2 good seasons before the taxman comes a calling and we end up worse off than before?
I cleared my overdraft a couple of years back. Ill tell ya the last thing on my mind when i did that was go out and immedietly spend a few thousand to put me right back where I started from.
wiki says 300k, soccerbase says 250k
last player we forked out JUST £750k on was a complete waste of fucking money
Sorry for editing Tom, but I break out in an uncontrolable rage every time I see that name
I dont recall seeing any dons player being able to 'out muscle' anyone since Shearer retired and Windass left.
In fact the one time i was at pittodrie early in the morning to get tickets (about 7 years back now) the entire squad walked past me and I died a little inside when I realised our entire first team seemed to be half my size (that included the goalies)
The squads physical size doesnt seem to have improved since then (well fucking derek young is still about for a start)
Its about time they signed someone whose career wouldnt be ended if i bumped into them in the street
Why the hell do they keep saying we lost 3-1 at home to Torino?
I was there but was this game really worse than Skonto Riga? (yes I know that was a 1-1 draw but im going by my dads memory of the game)
recall my dad getting threatened by some shaven headed muppet after dodds' goal because he said 'what a jammy bastard'.
Dont recall what happened to shaven headed fuckwit
Meanwhile, back in Albania
