Bravo! Though I’m not sure taking Keynes’s beliefs on the macroeconomic realm are appropriate for a firm operating in a sporting league. I have seen some dismal attempts to model this and they are half baked, like much economic modelling.

What is clear is that a great coach, with good infrastructure and a bit of luck can break the clear and long established correlation between club finances and league position at least in the short-term. How did Coppell get us to 3rd?

Not a shock revelation but our best bet is to get a smart manager and pray we get a few rough diamonds come through the academy.

I guess Keynes would advocate investment in infrastructure so that economic progress could be made. Sarte would have us believe that if we thought hard enough that we could do well, we could make that our version of reality. I would certainly think that we need investment. I would also question the team's motivation on occasions. Do they truly believe? Or have false beliefs due to the constructs of their own version of reality?
I'm no expert on either of these by the way and could be entirely wrong.
However, I could ask is anyone or anything actually right, if I were to get all philosophical? I suspect no one's too bothered about my questions anyhow.

Yes, I think the Keynsian thing to do would be to spend money on the stand in the belief that the state (or club in this case) would grow in income terms to such an extent that it wouldn't matter what debt we accrued in the process, and that we could, and should, continue to spend in that way.

From what I understand Keynes was a genius who possibly did more for the rapid increase in standards of living in the second half of the last century than anyone else apart from Steve Coppell.

Good time to kick off though surely?

I think it was Andy Thorn who said 'It is not the consciousness of men that determines their being, but, on the contrary, their social being that determines their consciousness.'

He wouldn't have taken any of Van Aanholts nonsense.

Not surprising really. I believe PvA adheres very much to the side of Kierkegaard's philosophical attachment to Nihilism, which of course is a feeling we all experience when watching him play.

I confess this thread has left me trailing in it's wake. Couldn't possibly make a useful contribution.

So I'll leave it to a hero of mine, with his excellent word craft, to contribute his tuppence worth:

"Where black is the colour, where none is the number,
An' I'll tell it and speak it and think it and breathe it
And reflect it from the mountain so all souls can see it"
Bob Dylan - A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall

 


Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled.

It was queueing up in the p****g rain for the Palace urinals that made me understand that Sartre's 'rues de liberte' was an allegory of man's search for commitment.
