It may have been one of several options proposed.

There isn't that much widespread support for such a simplistic approach though is there?

This way, Clubs are incentivised to invest in player development. There's also a clear link to improving the national team.

Once you argue that these are activities that should be encouraged, it makes sense to outline criteria that must be met to be entitled to claim the exemption.

I heard some bloke called Brian will be giving them lessons in Sh*t stirring and muck raking

i hope he doesnt teach them geography, he thinks billinge is in wigan, even though he pays his council tax to St.Helens MBC and therefore partially paid for our new stadium

He doesnt seem to like that much. Which of course makes it even sweeter. I wonder if he shops in Billinge too? Even more money into the St Helens coffers

I've heard a lot about him. Dodgy character, married one of the enemy. Stay clear.

It wouldn't have crossed his mind, he probably doesn't even know.



I was just waiting for the right moment to inform him.
