Not necessarily overboard for the Prem (with the extra TV income). £50m is £2m each for a 25-man squad - likely well under that if you take out manager, coaches, Youths and admin.
So the average is probably around £30k to £35k per week. Not the eye-watering sums paid to established stars at the top end. |

That's "only" about £33k per week*, which is not enormous by Prem standards - or even for a couple of Champ sides.
* Given the article's figure is in Euros as well. |

Reply | Anyone know about thick lining paper to hide textured wall paper?
at 19:24 17 Apr 2024
Contrary to the advice about stripping the old wallpaper off, it depends what the surface is like underneath. "Structural wallpaper" sounds like a joke, but it might be holding the plaster on/together. Especially in an older (pre-plasterboard) property.
Thick anaglypta may be hiding extremely rough walls (same with wood-chip).
Steaming can also be a very bad idea. If not careful, it is quite possible to blow the plaster skim off as well. Best option is to dry peel the top layer if you can, then soak the underneath. If the top layer won't come off, try soaking all of it. Lightly score the surface to allow the water to penetrate. Steam only as the last resort. A very sharp scraper is indispensible.
2,000 grade lining paper will deal with most things (also it's the thickest you'll get in most DIY stores). A good adhesive is essential if you're sticking to heavily embossed stuff. Results may still not be that great, there's a limit to what even the thick paper will do.
You may have to strip the embossed stuff and then line afterwards.
This from years of experience. |

But they will be at most four points ahead of us (having dented Leicester in the process), with just one left to play against our three. Southampton winning that would damage Leeds. |

Trump World is a bigger market for book sales than British people narked about their more expensive mortgages. Also more likely to swallow the "deep state conspiracy (not gross incompetence)" plot-line. |

As of today, now.
Won't be many more of these this season, get a bit pointless with just one or two games left. |

Cutbacks rely on there being enough space in the centre for the ball to reach the receiving player and for them to shoot. Teams packing the box with six or eight men ahead of the cross arriving (as both Norwich and Watford did) prevent that. Not easy to counter if the opposition refuse to commit many up the pitch.
Watford were doing a good job last night in preventing Davis breaking through on the left. Hutchinson is clever, but not outright pacey. Jackson is fast and aggressive, but not so accurate as Burns. But the key issue was when the ball did arrive in the centre, there were too many blockers and interceptors. |

Yes, messed that up in the calculation. Forgot to reduce the number of games played to just the home ones. |

But, as I said, not the strongest opposition. Watford are somewhat tougher under their new boss. |

I have a friend who works for RM. Sounds like a shambles of cuts, with resulting inefficiency and poor morale. Partly driven by restrictive legislation, but with a big dose of senior management "wanting to implement change". |

I understand entirely the anger. But "shareholders" is not just wealthy individuals. A large proportion* are ordinary people's pensions, mortgage endowments, savings, plus charities and the like.
* Tho they may be removed by a layer or two of funds invested in other funds. Same as the Arizona emergency workers money went into ORG, a subsidiary fund of which then put cash into ITFC. |
