Tevez' wages

[Dave the OAP]

That was a big favourite of Portsmouth. They were discovered to be paying players wages into offshore accounts under the (tax-free) guise of it being "image rights" payments, when in fact it was salary. Its just another tax-dodge used by the unscrupulous. Image rights for the likes of Tevez etc is one thing, as they are instantly recognisable global superstars who do indeed have a marketable "image" to flog. But the idea of image rights payments or some of those Pompey players was laughable - you wouldn't recognise them if they came round your house and set fire to your shed.

so why are not the students chaining themselves to railings outside maine Road or fratton park or supergluing their hands to the windows at West ham....or is it because shops are easy targets

Oh won't somebody PLEASE let the students know that Pompey have been evading taxes too? What was their last tax bill from HMRC, £37 million or something?

"Is that the Police? Yes, I've woken up this Saturday morning and I think Fratton Park's under attack from protesters. Everywhere I look there are bits hanging off, crumbling concrete all over the place, and about 15,000 uneducated morons running around chanting repetitive dirges. All I can hear is something like 'Pay up someone or other....someone pay up'. It must be students, right? The whole place just looks like a total disgrace. Oh....wait just a second..."

Load of baloney.

Yaya Toure is on more.

There was talk in the Sunday papers about Tevez getting a £100,000 a week pay rise to take him UP to about £250,000 a week but that it would not be enough to keep him at Eastlands.

Well Man City seem to think Tevez is the highest paid player at the club!

However, in line with the Club's policy of not negotiating playing contracts mid-season this has not been granted. Carlos' current five-year contract has three-and-a-half years to run and he is the highest paid player at the Manchester City Football Club.

On the subject of footballers' wages, this is what Robbie Savage was tweeting yesterday.

Haha Phil Thompson is a bitter man all them trophies but missed the boat on earnings chin up Phil I got one medal but 10 million more quid

followed by

Fact average prem players earn a fortune I'm lucky ! I wasn't even average I can say it cos I'm recent unlike Phil prehistoric thompson

I'm torn between laughing as I can't stand Phil Thompson on Sky, or thinking Savage comes across as a touch arrogant there

Laughing, Thompson is a prick

That is quality, and I tend to agree with Kinky. Not a fan of Thompson.
