    No, it's Ranieri's turn at Watford. Then it's mine in March, IIRC.

    Isn't it a pre-order bonus for FM22?

    Yes, I don’t see him being there for too much longer. I watched his son play yesterday, the apple didn’t fall far from the tree in that family.

    Don't think Rodgers is under any pressure to be honest, Leicester are really struggling with injuries at the moment.

    Fofana is out for months with a broken leg, Justin is still recovering from the season ender he had last season, Evans has only played about 20 mins this season, Ndidi's out for a bit and Pereira also seems to be massively injury prone too. I think Maddison was carrying an injury in pre-season as well and he's been anonymous so far since the season began.

    Just watched MOTD2 and listened to the pundits and match commentators gushing over the City keeper's pass for a Phil Foden chance...yet they did not even mention the Lloris pass for Kane's one on one chance.

    Both were outstanding passes...especially considering how crap Lloris usually is with his distribution

    Good to see Spendiola having some balls and publicly calling out what we have all known for years, the blatant favour shown to United and Pool by the officials. I expect it to fall on deaf ears to those the matter though.

    The greed of the mega rich never ceases to amaze me. I simply don't understand discontent with 10's of millions and thinking the answer is a few more millions from cheating the tax man. Perhaps @PowerSpurs can comment <whistle>

    I doubt he knows too much about it, to be fair to the ****bag.
    His accountants and agent probably deal with most of it and he just leaves it to them.
    Working for scumbags and endorsing a dictatorship are on him. This? Much more of a grey area.

    Yes I agree, Jimmy Carr was similarly caught up - I doubt he studied tax regulations to minimise tax bills. I wasn't really talking about Guardiola in particular, but the revelation of tax evasion/avoidance in general. Lot of money laundering going on as well, but none of these people would be hard up by following the spirit of the laws.

    I'm not a fan of it, but the rules need to change, rather than expecting people to do their best.
    There are untold loopholes and advantages for the ultra-rich and that's by design.

    I find it hard to believe that he didn't know that he had opened a bank account in Andorra which is where his wages were paid when he was playing in Qatar, especially since he closed that account as soon as he left Barca

    I'm not naive, Chelsea get a fair number of decisions go our way but the institutional bias this country has towards United/LFC in all facets of the game (TV/Media coverage, fixtures and scheduling, referees etc). Even being able to vet Scudamore's replacement (https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/...ential-richard-scudamore-successors-qkrxcms9q). If this were Juve and Inter in Serie A we'd all be calling it for what it is.

    The "duty of care" from (UK) accountants goes thus :

    I have a legal means of appreciably reducing your tax bill ??
    Are you interested (yay or nay) ??

    As Jimmy Carr (for example) said : yay.

    I too have been asked the same question.

    However, I am sufficiently versed in the operational realities of
    the tax man to know that any monies saved could easily be
    gone in legal fees fighting some jobsworth Nazis who get
    on your case (as a colleague of mine sadly has discovered) .

    So I educate people of said realities where/when I can
    (specifically my primary mantra when dealing with the tax man :
    don't take the piss) .

    Not true.
    A lot of them are classic "law of unintended consequences"
    (usually attempting to aid one industry sector but becomes
    exploitable by completely unrelated sectors) .
