2023 Summer transfer window - hopes, needs, expectations and rumours.

[dave shelley]

The state school system is so infested with leftists that I pay for my kids to be privately educated. Labour are already talking about lumping more cost on those fees to pay for a service I chose not to use. They have a lot of holidays, don’t work particularly long hours, took a long holiday during Covid whilst I worked all the way through it. Not the slightest bit interested in paying them more.

What a load of shit you speak!!!
My lads a teacher, he worked all through Covid, during the 6 week holiday he works 4 of them preparing for the following term, the other breaks he works several days, again, in preparation for the following term and he also works several evenings a week, at home, on various things.

That's saved me a whole lot of typing Nigel.  My son did something similar, plus organising zoom lessons and spending his day doing it.  He teaches in an 'A' Level college so the kids are keen. 

My daughter is a primary school teacher who is big into inclusion and totally invested in education, not for the pay and not for the holiday's, the usual stick used to beat teachers with. 

I wonder does Ashton realise he's able to read what's going on here because in all probability a teacher taught him to.

I think that virtually everyone thinks that medical professionals and firemen etc should be paid far more for what they do.

I also think the vast majority think that footballers should be paid less.

We know who the real heroes are.

Do you vote with your feet on footballers' pay or are you part of the problem?

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make, but every football supporter, whether they watch on TV, or in person, or.who buy tat from the shop are part of the problem. So yes, I am.

I also vote to support the NHS and emergency services with more funding and support people with their demand for improved terms and conditions.

Nothing personal, but it's quite ironic that loyalty to football clubs and the NHS model supports footballers wages and depresses medical wages respectively, but this forum which tends to be gung ho for both is largely miffed by the disparity.

Quite right! I mean how important to a country's future are [checks notes] children?

But, as I'm sure you say, you get what you pay for.

#ToriesForDecline

Very important, they deserve better. They won’t get it until teachers spend more time teaching and less time being activists.

If only the left wing hadn't been in charge of the national curriculum for the last decade and a half WAIT HOLD THE FORT NEWS JUST IN

It would be like Scotland?

9 pages of this now?

9 pages of this now?

I know. Keep going and we'll triple it.

[Legion]

Could we get back to spouting absolute bollocks about transfers, please?

[Sexual Ealing]

Transfer Outsider reckons we're in for Rudolf Steiner.

My mate is a teacher and yesterday had to calm down a kid swinging a cricket bat, shouting his name and threatening to “Do him”. The confrontation ended with the kid being taught how to do a proper forward defensive shot. He’s an excellent teacher.

Teachers deserve a rise.

Manage what?

To pay frontline medical staff wages commensurate with their job and in line with inflation without ruining it all in tax rises.

'The UK invests just £3,257 per capita, 18th in the OECD despite being the fifth largest economy in the world. While hospital nurses, general practitioners and emergency physicians in the UK do earn more than the national average, this does not account for their overtime hours.'

Other countries get more money into the system by having it come from both public and private sources. The UK has a uniquely stupid arrangement where all the private cash stays in the private bit of the system and only benefits the well-off/those desperate enough to spend their life savings on a CAT scan.

I’d prefer Waldorf Montessori.

I really love my cat, but fuck that.

[Sexual Ealing]

Percy's cat rumoured to be unsettled. Could it do a job in place of Bailey?

[pablo_picasso]

Wheres the transfer thread?

Ferran , Johnson and Diaby would be a great attacking triumvirate.

Thank God for you FV.

I'm not as enthused by Johnson as some others on here, entirely for the prejudicial and unfair reason that I still regard English players I hadn't heard of until recently as suspicious and probably overpriced.

Johnson is Welsh...

[charlatan]

and yet born in Nottingham, played for England U16 and U17....
