Gift for Scudamore

[Real Sharapova]

If it's considered a gift does he have to pay tax on it?

I would think so, because it has arisen in close connection with his employment.

 

[Robin127]

He'll probably get it paid into some sort of offshore tax dodging account.

 

[Brown Nose]

City one of five clubs that have refused to pay according to several sources.

Well done to Susan Whelan nce again.

 

[Lako42]

So you’d say “thanks but no thanks” if you were in his position?

Exactly that


Not everyone on this earth is a greedy **** addicted to money.

He's being paid handsomely, he will get paid as a consultant, it also isn't a contracted bonus so comparing it to performance related bonuses for company bosses is bollocks.

Luckily our club is ran by people with a conscience.

 

[City Fan]

Exactly that

Sorry but I’m calling bullshit.

 

[Lako42]

Sorry but I’m calling bullshit.

Good for you.


Don't think about it in your current life, think about it in RS situation.

If I was him, I would weigh up the publicity aspect, the fact I'm already stupidly wealthy and the good of the game.

I wouldn't take it, simple as that.

Do you think he really cares about those things (apart from the wealth)?

 

[fitz]

Once you've got that much you're pretty much just going to snort half and go balls deep with the other.

 

[Lako42]

No

 

[Robin127]

No

People like him have no shame, the world is full of millionaires who having more than they'll ever need is not enough.

 

[City Fan]

If I was him I’d look at all the stinking rich footballers that I had made rich by bringing in all the TV money, earning £300k a week, and think “I’ll have some of that.”

It’s not like he’s asked for it. He has been offered it. Can’t blame him for taking it.

 

[Mike - True Blue Tinter]

It is being offered by people who have received huge salary increases BECAUSE of the TV money he brought in. Reciprocal scratching of backs!

It's not being offered, it's being demanded.

Luckily We have told them to **** off

As I understand it, so long as they get 14 teams approving it, it will happen. It’ll be taken out of the central funds, whether we voted for it or not. In effect, we would still be contributing to it.

I could be wrong, though.

We may have thought about saying that, along with a couple of others, but when it came to the meeting no one raised a formal objection and the payments were agreed by all twenty clubs

We are all mugs then.

Sorry but I’m calling bullshit.

Why?

It happens. Even bankers do it...

Reciprocal snouts in trough!
