It's going to be expensive. Largely the comparison sites have similar insurers and cover 90% of the market. The things that will make a difference if he's just past his test are the name the insurance is under. Some insurers will let you/your ex insure the car and add the younger person as a named driver (this can depend on access to other vehicles etc...) which is a way to get some experience. If they've had some experience already as a named driver then speak to a person (somewhere like Adrian Flux) and they will be able to underwrite something more bespoke.
Alternatively looking direct at Admiral - they do some 10m policies which mean you pay the premium for a shorter period and most companies accept as 1yrs NCB, or Tesco's/Direct Line were always OK for first time drivers as long as the car wasn't crazy.
A few insurers used to also offer a discount for "Pass Plus" which was a little additional course you could do once passed your test (not sure if this is still a thing) or adding a parent on the policy but those weren't big savers more like 10/15% |

Tim Southee, Jason Holder, Vernon Philiander, you could also say Anderson and Broad in later years too |

Cook deserves a run, he's been brilliant in county cricket and shown he can bowl with the kookaburra ball. Carse and Atkinson are a bit similar but unlike Cook they offer something with the bat. The spinner is the issue for me. I'm not sure we have one good enough. Bashir's angle all look wrong, pushing the ball leg side rather than the drift and dip of a Swann or Lyon. It means more pressure on the inexperienced seamers. I wouldn't be surprised if eventually Bethell is in the Mo Ali role at 7/8 as the spinner, supported by Root. |

I've been to a fair few league 1, championship and premier league grounds over the last couple of years and thought Villa was one of the worst. Surrounding area unwelcoming, unable to get a drink inside and the concourse was a narrow corridor. Thankfully the result and performance made it a good day still. |

There’ll be a few left but they won’t be available until the ballot finishes |

Reply | A few thoughts on where we are now

I agree with most of this and with Clive's response too. We weren't that bad on Saturday, despite some of the comments and are getting better game on game. This'll improve even more so as the group start to understand how McKenna wants them to play and they get to know each other more. Where we do need to get a little better is our creativity and limit those defensive lapses. We could afford the odd one in the Championship but not so in the Premier League. I think OShea's pace will end up making us much more secure at the back and there's little doubt the players we've added are of real quality. My slight reservation is up top. I like Hirst, I love the start Delap has made and I realise that the 'number 9' scoring a bucket load of goals isn't necessarily the KmcK way but I do think we're maybe a little short there, especially as we're not creating the number of chances we were before. on the other hand if anyone can get it going it's the management team we have now! Everything I've seen suggests if we keep working and improving there are at least 3 worse sides than us, if not more. Southampton, Leicester, Everton, Wolves all look vulnerable to me and I'm not convinced by Brentford or Bournemouth either, so plenty of opportunity IMO for a successful campaign |

Interesting that he’s reportedly agreed terms with Sporting and Bologna before too but not being reported as agreeing terms with us. You’d assume he’s given us encouragement to keep bidding but does this mean we just don’t leak this stuff? Or are we agreeing a fee first? Or does he really not want to come? |

Seems to have only played well against us. On those performances he’s well worth the money but the rest of the time he seems to have struggled so balance suggests not one to spend money on |

1 x GK (Starter)
1 x LB (Leif cover)
2 x CM (1 starter, 1 cover)
1 x LW (starter)
1 x Striker (Starter)
Nice to have 1 x RCB (if quality starter available)
Expect some of Lapado, Baggott, Nbada, AAH, Humphreys, Edmundson, Harness, Slicker, to potentially move on in some form or other so may have to replace these too |

If you disagree you can challenge the insurance company - its pretty common practice for disputes to be decided as 50/50 if one party challenges rather than dispute for blame. You should be prepared to share a diagram/pictures of the event if you are able and want the insurer to review the case. |

There is usually around 10-15% discount available in the renewal price offered, though the comparison sites usually have most of the discount already applied so if they are a similar price then you are probably doing as well as you can. Rates have gone up due to the cost of claims rising. Your age can also effect your premium (once you get over 60 it tends to go up as you age). |
