He won't have a protected area when his missus gets hold of him.

I can think of a few million reasons why he will be fine

I can think of one area he will need to protect :)

The S*n are a joke of a paper. They can't even get the weight of Foden's river Ebro catfish right. 130lb they said. 70lb tops I say.

Ahh Mrs Merton ........and what made you stand by your millionaire boyfriend?

Perhaps you shouldn't judge someone you don't know in the least by your own seemingly non-existent standards?

Dear Mr Centurions

Thanks for getting in touch with us regarding an article on the BBC News website.
(https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-54016147)

I understand you feel the article displays anti-Arab bias.

The article follows Rui Pinto's trail in Portugal and explains he faces 90 criminal charges: he is accused of computer fraud, attempted extortion and violating privacy of correspondence.

However, his leaks cover the entire football landscape and not just in Portugal. They revealed alleged cases of tax evasion and dubious deals involving some top football clubs and star players.

Some of the data showed the influence Gulf Arab individuals and organisations have over top European clubs. It is not racist to discuss this, as one of the major stories coming from these leaks was UEFA's investigation into Manchester City who is owned by Sheikh Mansour.

Nevertheless, we do value your feedback about our news coverage. All complaints are sent to senior management and in this case the BBC News team every morning, and I included your points in our overnight report of audience feedback.

These reports are among the most widely read sources of feedback in the BBC and ensures that your concerns have been seen by the right people quickly.

Thanks once again for getting in touch with us.

Kind regards

I wasn't aware that actually setting up your own company (The CFG) and having 'undue influence over it' was a bad thing?

Plus he might now have to isolate for 14 days after leaving the protected area

I can't see why he should. Iceland's on the UK green list. Any random tourists wouldn't have to isolate on returning home even if they did go chasing skirt. The only rule he's broken is that of the England squad/FA.

An organisation so full of hubris can never admit it's wrong; their complaints procedure is nothing more than a sop.

How is the fact that wealthy people from the middle east having influence over football any more news worthy than say gentlemen from the USA having influence over say Man Its, Liverpool and Arsenal. Do the BBC not see the imminent Danger!
