Falcao wages

[mosssideblue]

Told the missus that she would have to carry on working in Tesco for 50 years to get what Rooney/Falcao earn in a week. Needless to say, not impressed and some serious perspective.

Not in this case they don't, United pay the wages to Monaco as he is their employee, leaving him with £345,000 tax free a week, scandalous, so someone said on the radio anyway !

He is playing in the UK, he get taxed as per the norms here. He doesn't get the money tax free. Otherwise everyone would find a company in Monaco and basically pay no tax to the country.

Not an expert and stand to be corrected
He will be subject to UK tax but, like a lot of footballers he will be non-domicle in the UK so different rules apply he may also, being a South American, be non-resident and will spend as few as possible days in the UK; so will pay less tax. There may also be some image rights fiddle going on For sure he wont be paying PAYE Tax & NHI the same as a UK resident.

fairly sure you need to spend 9 months out of the country to count as non-domiciled for tax purposes. Other dodgy tax tricks, yep, he'll have them like every professional footballer earning a big wage.

It's a gamble as in the sponsor get top four and the mega Adidas deal kicks in, don't get top four and they lose 33% of that deal..

By hook or by crook they will make top 4 the FA will see to that, dodgy cheating officials or telling teams to roll over or face conseqencies.
Remember what this c**t said.

“It’s a double-edged sword,” Scudamore told Bloomberg. “When your most popular club isn’t doing as well, that costs you interest and audience in some places.”
“There’s lots of fans around the world who wish Manchester United were winning it again, but you have to balance that off against, GENERALLY, we’re in the business of putting on a competition and competition means people can compete.”

The key bit for me . He's basically admitting it's not totally straight.

Well he better start producing for them .
It will be interesting to see the best Aguero against Falcao on derby day .
