@Mseries_ your boy Modric in trouble with the tax man $770k defrauding

Who hasn't been accused of tax fraud in Spain, I think it's just part of the culture or some tax change they put in place for David Beckham that expired when he left. Blame MAN UTD.

Why are Spanish football stars in legal trouble?

Soon after David Beckham joined Real Madrid in 2003, he was able to enjoy a new tax-exemption scheme aimed at attracting foreign talent to Spain across all sectors. That scheme became known as the Beckham Law, when he became one of the first players to sign up to a six-year-long tax ceiling of 24%, roughly half what Spaniards paid on six-figure-plus incomes.

But in 2010 the Beckham Law was scrapped for salaries of more than €600,000, and since then tax inspectors have begun to wise up to the use of complex financial operations using offshore shell companies to get around tax laws.

Pickford vs Hart to be England's number #1

Pickford was like "now that's how you save a penalty!" (Will Smith voice)

They will still give it to Hart.

A couple of weeks ago I was listening to Sunday Supplement (podcast with British journalists discussing primarily premier league football) and I think one of the guys said that it wasn't foreign managers hindering British managers getting jobs, but rather the same merry-go-round of old heads which are stifling young managers' development. You have to basically do a howe or Houghton (I.e. Bring a team up through promotion into the league) in order to be a premier league manager.

It's the truth. A lot of these clubs would rather have a known commodity than a young English manager that never manage in the Premier League. So many won't get the big break.

It's the same problem the dutch have, just keep rotating the national role amongst those in the old boys club and the stifle the development of anyone who can bring genuine ideas to the table.
