Pep's contract situation | 2 year extension confirmed! (pg1817)

Agreed mate but although my heart still doesn’t bleed for them, getting taxed 50% off your wages compared to tax free and maybe treble your wages would make anyone think? Especially after what some of our lads have already won and in their 30’s?
Kinda makes my argument - but yeah - then you have to think differently about all the good the tax they pay may (or not) be doing , NHS , social care, housing, schools, etc etc. and in a democracy. Comes down to the integrity of the individual. Some stay and pay and still have lifestyles above most wildest dreams, whilst contributing, others leg it to tax havens no matter what.
Moralising for another thread though..

I though most of our wages were paid off the books via UAE ;)
 
I can't seem him going to saudi unless they offer such a crazy contract that he could not turn it down and maybe him going to NYCFC would be a huge coup for the City group and more advantageous than taking the transfer fee now.

Stones, Grealish and sadly Ederson are the ones I could see leaving.

Grealish maybe part of the Bruno deal and Stones going as part of the Musiala deal if there was a chance of him coming.
There's no way Ederson is leaving, his agent knows his importance to us and is posturing for an improvement contract, which he deserves in my opinion.
 
No the decision HAS been made because txiki is retiring at 60 and soriano going to NYCFC as vice president. It has leaked out early and so now it’s stage managed for a bit to make it look like pep is mullingbit over.

People inside the club got an indication mid February club was going to be ok on the charges. That allows for the succession planning to take place. New York been part of the plan for a long time.
Why would Soriano, who is currently CEO of the CFG, want to take a massive demotion to become the 'Vice President' of NYCFC? That doesn't make any sense at all.

It's like KDB going to play right back for Melbourne City reserves.
 
I agree but maybe we have called their bluff.
A remaining eight years or so of kicking the ball into the sun and sand in front of nobody.
But hey, think of all the lurvverrrley lucre!
We deride politicians and "celebs" for saving a bit of tax - but our own footballers? "Gowan my son", "set for life", "fill yer boots", "can't blame him" - we afford a different set of principles. Perhaps says as much about us, as them.

30th June I thought.
He started on July 1st 2016. So I assume 30th June next year. Obviously he is not going to down tools if we reach the later stages of this thing. You just wonder what state the players would be in at the start of season 25/26. Sadly I see this tournament as his swansong.
