Away from football, I work in the construction industry and I am often asked how we are coping with Brexit.

I’ll be honest, voting to leave the EU was a big blow to us as it led to uncertainty in the market and the banks – although banks still appear to be lending, which is good for us.

But most people voted on lies spouted by both sides of the argument – and most were too thick to understand the debate for what it really was.

The biggest lie was the suggestion that we pay something like £350m a day or week into Europe, and that all of that would come back into the NHS.

This was being promised by politicians who are not in the government - and that is rubbish, the government will decide where the money goes.

It is not a given that it would go back into any department.

People thought it was going to cost a fortune to be in Europe, but they forget that most of the subsidies were coming back to farmers and the NHS in any case.

Cameron and Osborne went down the fear factor route and turned people off of them.

The Brexit side went down the immigration route, and a lot of people hung on Farage’s every word.

Immigration has been a very positive thing for this country for hundreds of years – we love to forget we raped the Commonwealth for a hundred years then we’re complaining that people are coming over into this country.

In the main, immigrants are doing jobs that English people don’t want to do. It is the easiest thing in the world to complain about not having a job, but 99 per cent of those people won’t do a job that immigrants have done.

From a personal business point of view, it is still too early to make that judgment as to what it will bring, but its consequences were clear in the immediate aftermath.

As an example, I had a little development of four houses I was selling, and I sold all four straightaway.

The fourth one fell through at the last minute, about two months before Brexit.

It was then resold almost straightaway, and that fell through three weeks prior to Brexit.

In that time it did not have a viewing and it went from being very sellable to almost unsellable.

That’s how it affected us, people became more cautious over buying or not, and whether house prices would fall.

But ultimately we will have to wait and see – we are not even out of Europe yet.

I often wonder about how it would affect the likes of Bedsente Gomis or Max Biamou – if they are contracted at Sutton, are they allowed to stay?

Does a football contract mean you are safe, or does it not? No-one really knows.

But for the majority of us who live and get on with our normal lives, we won’t see a huge amount of difference.

Let’s be honest, we get up with the sun, and we go to bed with the moon, and whatever happens with the EU will happen irrespective of what we hope, say or do.
