This is a holding message to pre-empt being asked the question as to who I would prefer as the next manager. I want Coco the Clown. A respected name on a historical scale who will improve us both technically and tactically ahead of the current manager

In its fiscal risks report last week there was indeed an OBR footnote page 73 saying the Government had said policy was to raise the State Pension Age to 68 by 2037-39 instead of the currently legislated 2044-46. The OBR has however, made the same assumption for 8 years since the Cridland Review in 2017. Essentially successive Govts have had two contradicting policies since then, and got a steer on which to follow, and I think what has happened is this year the OBR attributed that clearly to the Treasury. (Ministers in turn attributed that to the 2017 policy direction of previous Govt) What has not happened however is any change to legislation, which would have to happen in next year or two to meet recommendation to give anyone affected by change a decade’s notice. This is in the in-tray for action (or delay?) for the Burnham administration. There is an ongoing review that will report back first, however. It could affect those born between April 1970 and April 1977.

This a quote from Arrigo Sacchi, which went more like: "I never realised that, to be a good jockey, first I had to be a horse"
