Clowes has bought the club, spent probably close to £90m all in, spent £30m on players and we’re going to end up where we he found us. His biggest mistake is leaving Pearce in charge, couldn’t run a Sunday league club #dcfc

I earn £100 grand a year.
I have a detached house. 2 cars and my wife is a full time home maker.
I can just about afford this. I probably couldn’t afford the house I own if I was buying for the first time today.
My salary puts me in the top 5% of earners in the UK.
Top 5% to have a similar standard of living to Homer Simpson.
That is a disgrace.
We have a flatter salary distribution than Soviet Russia and the highest taxes and borrowing costs we’ve seen in generations.
Success is almost impossible because our tax system means hard work makes you a stressed out tax cow, not wealthy and certainly not free.
We need something radical.
Less state.
More family.
Less handouts.
More reward for risk.
Instead. Tomorrow, Labour will offer another batch of policies which will send one message to aspirational Brits: why bother.
I read a piece in the FT this week about the price of being middle class in Britain now and it said a couple earning £436,000 combined take home £216,000. That’s a crazy amount of tax, and it doesn't include VAT on purchases, council tax, stamp duty or other taxes (I think does include pension contributions). I can’t stop thinking about it.

UK spent £1.1 trillion more on benefits than infrastructure since 2006, as Burnham urged to get a grip on welfare bill lbc.co.uk/article/uk-benefit…
Average attendance already 1,200 down on last season and can only see that increasing. Football is turgid to watch and then interviews like this make it worse. What an uninspiring, negative message from the manager. Part of me starting to think he wants the sack #dcfc
"If we can't chase the dream this year, then there's no problems."

Welfare should be a safety net for those in genuine need. It is not meant to be a comfortable option for people who can work.

Just to reiterate what @MalChristie said for those who didn’t go or watch, Burnley were not an excellent possession team, they were awful and there for the taking. Eustace’s interviews are getting more and more false and not an accurate summary of the game. Desperation. #dcfc

Leaving Turf Moor with one overriding feeling, what a shocking game of football between two awful teams. 3 week break now, best time to act. Eustace cannot get out of his negative ways and playing all his mates. That was a game between two relegation teams #dcfc #twitterclarets
Delighted for him and clearly made an excellent start. Think everyone (apart from JE) could see what a talent he is. Hopefully by the time he comes back we’ll have a manager willing to give youth a chance instead of his 35 year old mates #dcfc
£8m net spend compared with our £25m over the last season seasons and a wage bill that’s at least a third less, possibly more #dcfc
Preston North End Football Club have today taken the decision to part company with Paul Heckingbottom as First Team Football Manager.
Football is a results business and despite significant investment in the playing squad since Paul joined, the results during 2026 and the start of this current campaign have not been acceptable.
Paul leaves us with our thanks and best wishes. His professionalism and work ethic during his time with us have been second to none.
As a result of this decision Stuart McCall has also left the Club today. We similarly thank Stuart for his contribution over the last two years and wish him all the best for the future.
We will now look to appoint a new manager as soon as possible but until such time as we do Jason Euell will take charge of first team matters on an interim basis.
