It wont happen in January regardless of how much we might be spending then.

Not going to happen IMO.

And suppose that, in July 2008 when we were on the verge of administration, someone posted that they'd heard a credible story that we were about to be taken over by a fabulously wealthy Sheikh who'd make us into one of the biggest clubs in the world.

I think a lot of people would have said the same thing. But now we're talking about the possibility of acquiring one of the two best players playing today and people are doubting the mechanics only, not our intent or ability to pull it off.
It may well not happen I agree but it won't be for lack of trying and we are being taken seriously.

The only reason I mention it is because the answer would make several million pounds a year difference on payroll. I know it's common practice in some countries to quote net.

I reckon that the fact that the tax authorities are after him suggests there's not much difference between his gross and net wages.

Ha. Good point. We might be able to persuade him that our very own HMRC are a nice, cuddly bunch. That could just be the clincher.

maybe this is the reason why we are extending the stadium? Messi is coming so we're gonna need the extra seats?
Forward thinking by our magnificent club :-)

Just get him Ken Dodds tax advisor and we're sorted.

Always expected that to happen, was just a matter of time.

I'm sure we would/will try.
