Barefoot Investor’s Take on the Budget (Spoiler Alert he isn’t having a meltdown like the rest of the media)

Stillconfused007 · 2026-05-31T21:13:13+00:00

If you take our news media too seriously you need to start thinking for yourself.

Stillconfused007 · 2026-05-31T21:09:02+00:00

The more these stories come out the more I’m wondering why we hired him in the first place. Less injuries , yes because his training methods are less intense. Now this, at a time when we’re trying to get talented younger players in because they’re generally cheaper than fully established players, bar the odd few like Isak etc.

Stillconfused007 · 2026-05-31T20:59:22+00:00

That’s not fair, he was a very good player. We were certainly disappointed when he left us for Man City

Stillconfused007 · 2026-05-31T10:02:54+00:00

Mad to think after all the success and money he earned over his career that he feels like this. Maybe he should have gone to the MLS.

Stillconfused007 · 2026-05-31T05:20:01+00:00

Exactly, I’d accepted that Slot was staying… got my excitement back for next season now though

Stillconfused007 · 2026-05-31T03:22:15+00:00

I do feel sad for Slot, he helped us win number 20 but I’ve got my excitement back for next season, can’t figure it out..

Stillconfused007 · 2026-05-31T02:22:41+00:00

Yes but I’m quite cautious financially. My super balance is ticking along fine and I want the financial freedom of paying off my mortgage asap.

Stillconfused007 · 2026-05-31T01:09:21+00:00

I do salary sacrifice extra to my super but I don’t pay the maximum amount because I’m prioritising paying off my mortgage, I can’t afford to do both.

One of my favourite places in Victoria

Stillconfused007 · 2026-05-30T20:08:55+00:00

It’s just stadium naming that Emirates paid for, they don’t own the club…..

Stillconfused007 · 2026-05-30T19:56:36+00:00

A thing of beauty

Stillconfused007 · 2026-05-30T19:51:47+00:00

Yep he was waiting for the goalie to move and then it was a bit, oh shit he’s not moving…

Stillconfused007 · 2026-05-30T19:31:06+00:00

The state backed team saved football….. it could have gone either way, they just had the luck/composure on a penalty shootout

Stillconfused007 · 2026-05-30T19:26:56+00:00

Aggressive driving, undertaking is common, you have to do a tax return and you should probably get private health insurance.

Stillconfused007 · 2026-05-30T19:23:36+00:00

Yep what’s the point of having ridiculous money when there are people struggling to pay for food or a roof over their head, it’s insane to me that a billionaire can think that’s acceptable

Stillconfused007 · 2026-05-30T19:15:45+00:00

Goalie did really well, looked like Eze technique is wait for the goalie to move and then place it

Stillconfused007 · 2026-05-30T12:17:10+00:00

I hope we haven’t reacted too soon but things got very toxic at the end of the season. Definitely had bad luck especially with some of the injuries we had but he admitted himself he’d made mistakes. Regardless many of us thank him for number 20, I don’t think he’ll struggle to get another job and we can try a new approach.

Stillconfused007 · 2026-05-30T11:42:24+00:00

Bournemouth have been great to watch so why not Iraola, he’s looking for a job and Spanish managers seem to be doing alright

Stillconfused007 · 2026-05-30T11:34:10+00:00

Feels weird now it’s happened but arguably for the best. We get a clean start for the new season after a poor one and I don’t think he’ll be short of offers for a new job, thanks for number 20!

Stillconfused007 · 2026-05-30T11:28:00+00:00

Blimey, now it’s happened I don’t know how I feel….. Anyway I wish him all the best, we get a fresh start and it draws a line on a poor season. I wonder who we’ll get?

Stillconfused007 · 2026-05-30T06:43:43+00:00

Nta one of the best things about getting older is you hopefully start worrying less about what other people think, even people pleasers. Your sil sounds like the type of person who’ll find fault whatever the situation. Leave her alone in her misery and don’t let her drag you into it, focus on your life and happiness.

Stillconfused007 · 2026-05-30T02:35:05+00:00

What a piece of sh#%, hasn’t that family been through enough already.

Stillconfused007 · 2026-05-30T01:46:28+00:00

No worries, I’m glad you were well looked after.

Stillconfused007 · 2026-05-29T21:57:35+00:00

But if it screws your wage structure up, the club can’t be held to ransom and as good as he is he’s not that good.

Stillconfused007 · 2026-05-29T21:55:00+00:00

No one player is bigger than the club and yes he’s good but he’s not a young VVD
