Pope signing long term means that he knows the No 1 is his soon enough (either this season if Heaton doesn't perform or gets injured) and he'll keep it for years to come...

Completely missed the point i had made. Why should we target squad players when we could actively target players better than what we have got? Because squad places need filling too. And if you are happy with the current player in a position then why go looking to spend money in what is an overinfla...

Another meh signing that doesn’t improve out first 11. We need to push the boat out a bit more and actively target players better than what we have got.

She expects them to look after her kids for 5 days per week though, which is typical of entitled folk like her

Educate and 'look after' are being used in this instance as interchangeable. It's not day care it's education.

It's the parents responsibility first and foremost to 'look after' and educate their children. If she did not envisage the 'hardship' of becoming a parent (I'm going to have to find extra childcare. not, I'm going to have to give up my job to look after this inconvenience), then maybe she shouldn't...

Shocking that she expects the government to enable schools to EDUCATE children for 5 days a week not four and a half.

Agreed, in the grand scheme of things whether you paying £15M or £17-18M is not a significant issue (that £2M+ windfall we just collected on Ings could cover it) and as a one-off/fixed cost it's done and dusted. But if you also have to pay said player £10-20k/week more than the current squad member...
