Nurses should simply be paid more (same with teachers). If you value and invest in these you invest in your country. Maybe now this is recognised internationally it might be more likely to happen rather than being hesitant because companies and business flea abroad due to taxes.

Nurses should also be trained in Britain. Trouble is that taxes will rise so much that there will only be so much that can be done and voters will start wishing this or that didn’t happen, or if they have any conscience, they didn’t do this or that.

Again, like Wilf’s rental income, and not begrudging it, Wilf’s prem wages and taxes come from sky tv subscriptions which would otherwise be spent by people on other things. You could say that about anything but there would be professional football whatever the wage packet. Most couldn’t do anything else.

Ah the bankers. Do you think they've made up for their bail out? Market forces need controlling to a degree. After all this virus crap is done and Sky has lost billions it'll be fun to see the how players and their sense of entitlement holds up.

I have now sufficient funds to last me the rest of my life. Provided I don't buy anything.

Well done to anyone who does help others, although when you have empty properties for however long I kind of side with the view you really should do anyway.

And I don’t congratulate people who make lots of money from lots of money in property (he wasn’t Wilf with nothing when he started his portfolio)

Neither do I congratulate footballers for paying tax or being tax contributors, as if they’ve been great inventors and employers. They essentially earn Sky tv subscription money from us punters and then avoid and then pay the tax they have to back. That punter money would’ve been spent by us on something else and the amount of earnings is because of us. If it wasn’t for the premier league they’d be earning a bank manager wage and not more than film stars.

There might be some adjustment to this through market forces in the aftermath of the virus with such a long downtime from sport, football on tv, economic effects of the virus and lack of income.

Best case scenario:
No club will want him. The enforced layoff has allowed all his injuries to heal. After getting match fitness, he's back to his best. And oh yeah, in the layoff, he's consulted a shrink and sorted his temper issues.

Wilf should look back at Henrik Larsson. In a WC match, he was booked for diving, when it was obvious to all he'd been blatantly fouled. His reaction was to laugh - a genuine laugh, at the sheer incompetence of the ref.
Great player, great attitude.

I have now sufficient funds to last me the rest of my life. Provided I don't buy anything.

Wilf must be going mental he’ll never get his big move... at Parish, his agent, himself, circumstances, luck, David Moyes, our tactics. Or maybe chelsea are prepared to buy him. I can’t say I’m expecting anyone to stump up at his age and form. Everything is so up in the air atm I wouldn’t know what to think until some matches are played again. Some dynamics are going to change but nobody will know which exactly and by how much. Could make it more interesting.
