Silly **** is just trying to divert attention from his country’s dismal World Cup showing, some of the stuff he’s coming out with is utterly pathetic.
Former German star Karl-Heinz Rummenigge is at the centre of a storm after failing to reveal who gave him two Rolex watches, said to be worth £84,000, while he was on a trip paid for by World Cup 2022 hosts Qatar.
Rummenigge ran into trouble on his way home from Doha when he was stopped by customs officials at Munich airport on February 7 as he passed through the ‘nothing to declare’ channel.
When the watches were discovered, he said they were a gift from an unnamed friend and he had not realised he had to pay import duty on them. Reports in Germany say the local tax authorities have now fined him €250,000 (£209,000) for not declaring the watches at the time.
Premier League representatives on the trip included Arsenal’s chief executive Ivan Gazidis and Manchester City’s Ferran Soriano. Club sources say neither accepted gifts beyond the passport holder.
They've had a few in front of himIf he’s not an embarrassment to all Germans then shame on them all.
