Pep Guardiola ‘lebih suka lawan lain daripada Leeds’ minggu ini

Sports

Pep Guardiola telah mengakui kekhawatiran tentang pertahanan Manchester City sebelum jeda Piala Dunia dengan peringatan manajer bahwa mereka tidak boleh kalah lagi di Arsenal menjelang jadwal Januari yang “mengerikan”.

City kalah 2-1 melawan Brentford di Stadion Etihad pada 12 November dalam pertandingan Liga Premier terakhir mereka sebelum Piala Dunia dan, sebelum pertandingan hari Rabu di Leeds, Guardiola mengakui bahwa timnya “tidak dapat mengendalikan” Ivan Toney, yang mencetak gol untuk kedua tim tamu. ‘ gol bulan lalu. Menyusul kemenangan Arsenal melawan West Ham pada Boxing Day, tim Mikel Arteta memiliki keunggulan tujuh poin di puncak klasemen atas Newcastle yang berada di posisi kedua, tetapi City dapat merebut kembali tempat itu dan mengurangi keunggulan menjadi lima poin jika mereka mengalahkan Leeds.

Guardiola berkata: “Melawan Brentford – ketika Anda [harus] memainkan 10 bola melawan Toney – sulit untuk memenangkan pertandingan – kami tidak dapat mengontrol bola-bola panjang, kami tidak dapat mengontrol transisi dan kami sepenuhnya [dalam masalah].

“Saya lebih suka lawan lain daripada Leeds saat ini setelah Piala Dunia. Mereka adalah tim paling agresif di Liga Premier, secara statistik. Mereka tidak memberi Anda waktu untuk berpikir dan Anda harus tepat. Setelah kekalahan kami melawan Brentford, dan dengan betapa kuatnya Arsenal, serta lawan yang [bisa] datang dari belakang, kami harus waspada dan berhati-hati, karena jika jaraknya lebih jauh, akan sangat sulit untuk mengejar mereka. ”

Guardiola lebih senang dengan pertahanan City dalam kemenangan 3-2 melawan Liverpool di Piala Carabao Kamis lalu. “Anda tidak bisa berpikir melawan Liverpool Anda tidak akan kebobolan peluang – dalam transisi mereka adalah tim yang fantastis,” katanya. “Saya tidak berpikir ada tim di dunia yang saya [lebih terkesan] – setiap pertandingan benar-benar berbeda dan melawan mereka kami bertahan dengan sangat, sangat baik.”

Setelah Leeds, City menjamu Everton pada Malam Tahun Baru, sebelum memainkan enam pertandingan bulan depan, termasuk tiga melawan rival langsung di Liga Premier. Kamis depan (5 Januari) mereka mengunjungi Chelsea sebelum menjamu lawan yang sama di putaran ketiga Piala FA tiga hari kemudian (8 Januari). Kemudian hanya ada dua hari sebelum kunjungan ke Southampton di Piala Carabao (10 Januari), diikuti oleh tiga pertandingan liga dalam sembilan hari – derby Manchester di Old Trafford (14 Januari) dan dua pertandingan kandang untuk mengakhiri bulan ini: melawan Tottenham (19 Januari) dan Wolves (22 Januari).

Guardiola berkata: “Jadwal kami di bulan Januari sangat buruk dalam hal jumlah pertandingan dan kualitas lawan. Kita harus memulai kembali. Inilah yang telah kami lakukan melawan Liverpool dan mudah-mudahan kami bisa melanjutkannya.”

Erling Haaland mencetak gol ke-24 musim ini melawan Liverpool. Guardiola ditanya apakah cedera kaki striker yang sebelumnya mengganggunya memerlukan manajemen sehubungan dengan sejumlah masalah yang menyebabkan pemain Norwegia itu melewatkan 16 pertandingan di mantan klubnya Borussia Dortmund pada musim 2021-22.

“Cederanya benar-benar berbeda dengan musim lalu,” kata sang manajer. “Itu adalah ketukan di kakinya di Dortmund, ketika kami melawan mereka di Liga Champions [pada bulan Oktober]. Dokter mengatakan ligamen di kakinya rusak dan itu sangat menyakitkan. Tidak mudah untuk pulih, itu sebabnya dia berjuang.

“Masalah otot [dia punya di Dortmund] sempurna dan sekarang kakinya jauh lebih baik.”

Honda engine stock (NYSE: HMC) has gained 7.5% over the past month, slightly outperforming the broader S&P 500, which is up around 5% over the same period.

The company also revised up its forecast for FY23, saying revenue could be around 17.4 trillion yen ($122 billion), up from a previous forecast of 16.75 trillion yen. yen ($118 billion). The operating profit forecast was also raised by almost 5%. The upward revision is due to higher expected motorcycle sales in regions such as India and Vietnam, as well as the impact of the weaker Japanese yen.

Despite this, real estate investment is still attracting significant interest, with 50.45% of current investors looking to invest in real estate in 2023. Many real estate experts have predicted a 10%-15% lower house prices next year due to mortgage lenders canceling deals and rising interest rates. This represents a solid opportunity for rental owners to take advantage of current market conditions and increase their portfolio. »

Why should real estate prices fall?

The UK is currently experiencing significant economic turbulence which is having a direct impact on the property market, with three prime ministers in 2022 alone (so far), a cost of living crisis, mortgage turmoil at the sequel to the mini-budget which was then u-turned and seizures are expected to increase by 0.01% to more 0.06% of outstanding home loans per quarter by the end of 2025.

These conditions have created a perfect storm for the housing market, with prices falling as a direct result – providing an opportunity to invest in property at below market value.

  • Interest rates increase: The Bank of England now expects inflation to rise by around 13%and experts predict interest rates will rise to around 4.25% by March 2023. This should put pressure on home buyers who are already feeling the pinch of high inflation rates.
  • Cost of living crisis: Fewer people can afford to buy a home as household budgets tighten – with food, fuel and housing costs rising. This puts additional pressure on household budgets while making it more difficult to save.
  • Mortgage rates: The number of mortgage approvals has fallen to its lowest level in four years, according to the Bank of England. This will likely lead to lower demand for real estate, which will put downward pressure on prices. The Bank of England announced a 0.75% increase in its key rate, from 2.25% to 3%, in October.

At national scale announced the following changes to their accounts as of December 2022:

  • The Standard Mortgage Rate (SMR) will fall from 74% to 6.49%
  • The base mortgage rate (BMR) will drop from 25% to 5%

Will the expected prices affect buy-to-let investments?

Current market conditions have resulted in lower demand for real estate purchases. This reduced competition has led to lower prices, making rental investments more attractive.

According to Finbri research, 50.45% of people plan to invest in real estate in 2023 – many see it as a way to protect their money in these uncertain times.

Are buy-to-let investments worth it?

Buy-to-lets have always been a popular investment with many people attracted by the potential for high returns. However, with the current cost of living crisis, rising inflation and uncertainty in the real estate market, it is also important to consider the risks associated with this type of investment.

  • Increase in demand: The current environment of high prices and rising mortgage rates has made it difficult for many potential buyers to access the property ladder, which has helped fuel demand for private rental housing. As a result, the returns offered by buy-to-let investments have appealed to many investors, particularly those looking for an alternative to low-yielding cash deposits.
  • Increase in rental yields: Compared to last year, tenant demand increased by 20%, while the total number of rental units available fell by 9%. While rental yields increase on average 3% a year and with 40% of landlords saying they expect to increase rent if interest rates rise further, mortgage repayments need to be closely monitored to determine rental yield.

However, with recent changes to mortgage interest tax relief, as well as the introduction of a 3% stamp duty surcharge for second homes, buy-to-let has become less attractive as a investment proposition for some. These changes have been exacerbated by the fact that many lenders have begun withdrawing their most attractive buy-to-let offers.

Despite the current economic conditions, there is still growing interest in investing in real estate, with 67.92% of experienced investors looking to invest in real estate in 2023. This presents a fantastic opportunity for rental property owners to take advantage of the current market. conditions and increase their portfolios.

Final Thoughts

The forecasted market conditions present a significant opportunity for rental owners to take advantage of current market conditions and increase their portfolio. Despite the current economic conditions, there is still significant interest in investing in real estate, making buy-to-let investments an attractive option for many.

However, it is important to remember that any investment involves risk and you should always seek professional financial advice before making any decision.

City of Vernon considering purchase of 2 electric trucks – if price is right – Okanagan

Motorcycle Price

Electricity may be the future of transport, but only if the price is right, reads a report at Vernon Municipal Council.

When city council meets on Monday afternoon, part of the agenda will include approving the budget for two electric trucks.

Currently, the city’s EV fleet includes a full-size service van, four cars, a UTV and six e-bikes.

“Electric pickups were not added to the fleet due to lack of availability,” reads the report, which adds that a local Ford dealer has informed the city that it may be possible to purchase a pair of Fords. Lightnings (the electric versions of the F150).

The report notes, however, that due to the limited supply, the city should commit to buying them, although there is no guarantee when they will arrive.

The story continues under the ad

Each Ford Lightning is reportedly priced at $75,000, with an additional $5,000 needed for lights and decals.

“As the delivery times are vague, the vehicles, if received, would be added to the fleet, replacing the next suitable gasoline-powered vans scheduled for replacement,” the report read.

“At a purchase price of $75,000, it will take approximately 8-10 years to recoup the cost difference of the electric pickup versus the equivalent gas alternative.”

The report also says the dealership expects a price increase later this year.

“If the city commits to the purchase immediately, there is a chance, although no assurance, that the current price will be honored,” the report read.

“If a further price increase occurs, purchasing these vehicles no longer makes financial sense, and the administration recommends that the city not proceed with the purchase until that investment and operating costs make solid fiscal sense.”

The story continues under the ad

The report also discussed the city’s vehicle fleet budget of $1,310,000 – which includes a balance of $133,777. Purchasing the two trucks for $150,000, with an additional $10,000 needed for these extras, would create a shortfall of $26,233.

“In short, the availability of electric trucks is unpredictable, with long lead times and little wiggle room in purchase price negotiations,” the report reads.

“The administration is not recommending the purchase of electric trucks, at higher prices, until supply increases, availability is assured and the acquisition is in the best interest of the taxpayer.”

However, if the price remains at $75,000 per truck, the report says the board should clear approval for the purchase of the two electric trucks.
