Look at the data. 0.1% growth after a decade of effectively 0% interest rates and yet were also at almost full employment. Worst productivity going as well makes it a perfect storm.
Comparable with much of Europe? So you want to stick with what’s been happening over the last ten years? You want to overturn and ignore a majority vote and remain with being governed by unelected officials? And therefore saying you’re happy with current statistics? Youuuu reds!
Personally I think this is a good choice. He has managerial experience at the top level (well...a bit). I'm pleased we havn't been lumped with one of the many middling british managers who go from club to club despite failing miserably at every turn. Here's looking forward with renewed interest.
Productivity and growth is behind Europe but the problem for us stems from a mix of inflation and all our minimal growth coming from consumer borrowing. The problem is that there is no one Brexit that suits all but the most sensible one keeps us in a customs union at least for a 5-10 year period.
Get a grip Nudge, it’s tarn slang FFS. I’m 34 and have called many into their 60s and 70s ‘lad’ and it’s actually a term of endearment to me.
He’ll be on cheap wages and is another appointment completely out of the blue same as Morais. He’s not worked for 14 months either...
Given the choice between the status quo, and having everything in the country run by possibly the most incompetent and self-serving set of politicians in the Western World, then status quo every day of the week and twice on Sunday. When DeXEU are producing reports where the country runs out of food and medicines within a fortnight of a no-deal exit (and that isn't even the *worst* case), then I think you might want to be careful what you wish for.
If you tell people to expect a recession, you get a recession because a lot don't spend - the fact that we are nowhere near a recession suggests that what the population expects is nothing like what certain aspects of the media tells us, so you can almost put any slowdown in growth down to the people who expected the recession. Obviously no economics expert, did a module on it at uni.
Growth 0.1% so its teetering and confidence plays a huge role in the scenario. Which is why brexit pushes it to the brink.
‘Very weird summation’ ....... just about sums up many of the posts on here when news broke that there was likely to be a German manager. Which ties in nicely with a recent post about Spice being readily available in town.
I do hope our new gaffer can galvanise this team and create some special human beings but... As an opportunity for the owners to reinvigorate the fan base this is definitely a long term play. Hopefully Daniel can turn things round but the real test will be which players he has at his disposal come August.
Not great, but hardly unprecedented as a quarterly measure, even the Guardian are apportioning a lot of blame to abnormally cold weather so that tells you a lot. We still base everything on this GDP is king model though, you could allow in 5 million migrants, pay them £5 an hour and our economy might grow by 20%
Behind Europe? Which bit? Consumer borrowing has recovered, but within a volatile market is bound to fluctuate. No decision ever suits all, but whinging about the worst that could happen and worrying the people with the purse strings will definitely not help. We look unlikely to exit fully the customs union or at least without a deal in place for a number of years.
So the committee that wants to push its own agenda says that the world will end after brexit is not the worst case and you believe it as gospel. Once again.. doom mongers! What was the best case? Never heard that one.
