They're shitting it as he could walk away for free next year when his contract expires.
Clearly nobody else is interested in signing the over hyped show pony so it's either give him another contract or he walks away for free.
Either way it's hilarious and this is a player who has run his contract down and walked away once already before being re-signed for £89 million yet we're ruining football according to the Rags and their arselickers in the media.
Is this what the paperboy means when he talks about the United way?

Getting screwed by an over-hyped half-arsed player who doesn't want to be there but will happily take the money is so ridiculous, typical and great to observe from the sidelines.

A fucking shambles of a club on so many levels.

yep they are and if your Pogba the only why he will get a move to a Madrid or a Barcelona is on a free! If he signs a new contract that’s him done with a move!

He would have to sanction this though and ultimately it's his responsibility.
There's nothing illegal in what he's done and he's taking advantage of a tax loophole which many wealthy people do.
The issue here is he's avoiding paying tax after dictating to the government how they should spend taxpayers money.

Blueboy. I very much doubt Rashford can comprehend what his advisors tell him they are doing with his money and the subtlety and consistency and messaging in what they tell him to say.

Lets remember he grew up in a third world environment with no food and only a rusty nail to scratch his homework onto a old paint tin lid. He is not the first sportsman and won’t be the last to be led by advisors who, let’s face it are only interested in their own advantage.

Yeah I forgot he grew up not knowing where his next meal was coming from whilst simultaneously being fed by the Rags at their Academy from the age of 11.
At City, the academy kids get a decent education in case they don't make it.
If St Marcus is a product of the education provided in Rag world it's worse than I thought.
It's no wonder all the ex Rags are sending their kids to City's academy.

Not that I make a habit of jumping to the defence of the rich and famous but do we really believe he has any idea where his money is and what tax he declares?

If I was in his position I wouldn't............

But would you be taking the moral high ground and slag the government for not spending enough ? If he isn't clever enough to know what is happening to his money he has no right preaching to others.
 
Given no-one is perfect I think it is perfectly possible to raise the profile of a big public issue and legally avoid tax. Now personally I might find it a bit difficult, but there you go.

I do think it'd be decent if he was asked publicly about it though, as it might provoke an equally helpful public debate around the impact of legal tax avoidance. The Gov is always on the back foot about this (clever people always find loopholes) but there's a moral argument I think that might be more powerful - especially if you're entering the public debate about moral things generally.

Bottom line for me tho is its good he's used his profile to get an important issue aired.

A much better post than I mustered up Beerls............

Agree 100%
Technically it's not illegal, it's the staggering hypocrisy that gets me and the fact that the media don't say a word.
The same media that branded our club as "cheats" based on fabricated emails.
If that was a City player, you would never hear the last of it.

Very good point but then we didn't have the foresight to employ a twat like Neil Ashton..............

Pogba is the poster boy for why City were 100% right to not go within a million miles of Sancho. Same flex

I agree with your first paragraph in principle however if the issue you're raising involves you badgering the government into paying out millions of pounds in taxpayers money whilst avoiding tax yourself you're basically a hypocrite and this if anything could undermine the issue you're trying to highlight.
If you're raising issues that don't involve badgering the government into spending taxpayers money whilst using ways to legally avoid paying tax yourself then fair enough.

There isn't a cat in hells chance that anyone who benefits from this loophole is going to speak about it.
The press won't raise this either as the people who own most publications benefit from these loopholes and the government won't close them as the people who benefit donate millions of pounds to the party that is currently in power to help them campaign to stay in power.

Nothing wrong with raising an issue but anyone can preach about what governments should and shouldn't spend taxpayers money on but like I said, if you're avoiding paying taxes yourself it makes you look a bit of a hypocrite.

£67M bid rejected for Sancho AND they want to pay it over 5 years!

Small time Rags.
Sancho is turning into the new Wesley Sneijder

New contracts for Bailly, Mata and Cavani instead of releasing them to free up wages and squad places tells me they're skint.

Looks like another toys out of the pram protest from the Norwich scarf wearers once the penny drops.

The Rags remind me of a washed up old brass who thinks she's still a fit twentysomething year old stunner.
They're deluded, players only go there for the money and until they wake up to reality they won't do anything different and nothing will change.
Long may it continue.
