I have a bit of sympathy for them here - In effect they are getting punished for the same crime twice if they broke even in Y1 and Y2 , then lost £140m in Y3 - they would breach the rules and be punished if in the following year they broke even, they would still breach the rules because of Y3 - that seems unfair to me ---

Be interesting to see when the figures come out, if Everton have breached the £35m loss limit last year and show no signs of changing their ways then I have no sympathy, if they have stopped the rot and reduced their losses/broke even/made a small profit last season then I think it would be an unfair charge. ---

Jordan Henderson apparently deferred his wages £350k pw so that he could come home at Xmas and play for England without having to pay UK tax of his earnings. He hasn’t received a penny to date And he is unlikely to get anything now he has mutually agreed to terminate the contract Serves the greedy virtue signaling hypocritical cunt right ---

One thing I am an expert on - When moving to the Middle East the FIRST task is to stay their until after the 6th April. Stay and your earnings were “subject to local tax rules” - ie none - go home you get whacked for Tax on your earnings abroad. Then you get the only so many days rule (as I called it) Basically I could spend about 30 (or was it 60) days in the UK after that I had to pay tax. I actually had to keep a track of the number of days and the times & dates - transit days were allowed - I remember one year I sweated when flights were cancelled due to massive snow storms and I was rebooked 10 days later. Would have got slapped - but managed to fly out from Brum. What this goes to prove is that Jordo was even MORE thick than we were led to believe. All this shit was obvious and simple ---
