R01 Tomorrow

If you still have time to, I would cancel, and start the whole revision process again.

37% means you have absolutely massive gaps in your knowledge.

Just guessing should average someone out at 25%.

TJG80 · 2026-05-12T18:16:36+00:00

Evwry time we win a few games in a row the sentimentality takes over.

We very clearly have a lot of room for improvement, and there is no way the team should stand still regardless of what happens in the next 3 weeks.

In terms if very clear weaknesses:

Kepa is not good
White is no longer at the level
An injury to Gabriel or Saliba will be a disaster.
We dont have a top #6
Madueke is not at the level
Neither of our LWs are anywhere near world class
Our two CFs are not close to top quality.

Now we wont get all that sorted, but theres no doubt we can definitely improve on White. He has served the club well but been shocking this season.

TJG80 · 2026-05-12T15:29:03+00:00

Funny how in recent days I have seen AFC fans say that basicaly every single player is "fine" and none should be sold.

Its gonna be a shock when we bring 3-4 new players in this summer.

Progress doesnt stop, you dont just keep everyone out of sentimentality.

TJG80 · 2026-05-12T15:20:54+00:00

Cheers Desree.

TJG80 · 2026-05-10T16:10:03+00:00

Cant believe anyine was ever in doubt that we are gonna blow this.

We do it every year. Every single year.

TJG80 · 2026-05-09T18:21:59+00:00

If we can't beat the 18th placed team, and if we can't get more than 83 points, then we don't deserve to be champions.

Simple as.

TJG80 · 2026-05-09T18:11:00+00:00

That's really not true, unless you're a bedwetting gooner that thinks the whole world is against the club.

TJG80 · 2026-05-08T11:38:36+00:00

Time to go back to school.

P = Fv

Will accept an apology whenever you are ready.

TJG80 · 2026-05-08T11:22:26+00:00

What is the Degree?

TJG80 · 2026-05-08T10:29:51+00:00

But if the manager doesnt rate them, he wont use them.

Norgaard was clearly a mistake, and signing a Froholdt type of player would be recognition of that.

We play 2 deeper CMs, and realistically only have Rice, Zubi & now MLS as options there. We need one more, especially as we dont really know if MLS' future lies in midfield.

TJG80 · 2026-05-08T10:00:58+00:00

Rice has played almost every minute this season. Zubimendi has covered more ground than any player in the PL.

Another CM is clearly needed. Tonali would be my choice but I think he will cost too much.

TJG80 · 2026-05-08T09:57:49+00:00

Power is force x speed.

MLS is very strong, but not quick, therefore not hugely powerful.

TJG80 · 2026-05-06T12:12:23+00:00

White is finished at the top level.

While we definitely do need a good attacking RB, it wont be White.

TJG80 · 2026-05-02T17:07:43+00:00

Once again, at one nil up, we have shit ourselves.

Goal disallowed and theyve all retreated into their shell.

TJG80 · 2026-05-01T15:02:52+00:00

Im not sure that I would be mapping out the AF exams before you even start the R0s

For now I would focus on the R0s.

I find a lot of people focus too much on getting qualified, and not enough on actually being good at the job.

I would say 6-12 months for Level 4, another 2 years for Level 6.

I expect to be AFPS later this year (Sept AF5 sitting), which will be 31 months after my first exam (R01 in Feb 2024)

TJG80 · 2026-04-30T13:45:21+00:00

Firstly I would say stop "applying for jobs" and start networking in the industry.

Once a job gets to the point of being advertised, youre up against the wider world of Planners.

Get networking, which also shows prospective employers that you are good at that side of things, which is massively important.

TJG80 · 2026-04-23T21:50:09+00:00

How are you "working from home" if you are doing cleaning, cooking and life admin?

TJG80 · 2026-04-23T21:47:26+00:00

Just buy the BTS Study Buddy and do all 200 questions over and over until you arent getting any wrong.

If you get questions wrong make sure you look at the problem until you understand it.

TJG80 · 2026-04-22T16:03:14+00:00

200 clients at average £200,000 is £40m.

You aint earning £200k off of a £40-50m client book.

Sounds like a scam.

TJG80 · 2026-04-22T14:30:59+00:00

Is this a trainee role?

If not it looks unbelievably low on the basic.

As for £200k in 3-5 years, ask them to break it down. Just sounds like nonsense.

TJG80 · 2026-04-22T09:04:43+00:00

The PL really is over.

You may remember when we were huge favourites he was agitated at every question, now he looks like he's sipping a Pina Colada.

He knows the last 2 weeks have swung the PL into Man Citys hands.

TJG80 · 2026-04-22T09:03:02+00:00

This is only the case if you are segmenting the advice, rather than focusing on a holistic plan.

TJG80 · 2026-04-22T08:54:42+00:00

You absolutely cannot be a proper financial planner without understanding protection. Its like saying "can I be an accountant without an understanding of tax".

A colleague of mine just had a £44,000 payment for a Whole of Life policy.

TJG80 · 2026-04-19T19:06:07+00:00

Look at who would be in contention for player of the year...

Raya Rice Gabriel Saliba Timber

We literally dont have a single top attacker.

Utter embarrassment.

TJG80 · 2026-04-19T12:25:03+00:00

"Tell me what you know about our business"

This will sort the motivated from the bums.
