First story on BBC breakfast news is, yep Marcus fucking Rashford interview with Sally Nugent. The scum publicity machine cranks into action!

I’ve no issue with him highlighting these issues, but I’ve seen people mentioning his own paying tax situation if somebody can expand on that ? If it’s true then they should be calling him out for his hypocrisy

Just different classes of shares, like first class and coach on an airplane. The B shares don’t trade, but they are convertible to A shares which do trade on the public markets. Typical split share structures give super-majority voting rights to one class, and sometimes other benefits (like dividends). Many (though a very small percentage of traded companies) public companies in the US (especially tech, but others too) have split share structures so founders can retain voting control, although generally investors don’t like these structures because they can’t effectively vote out management or board members, and founders can block mergers that might be beneficial to other shareholders.

To put it simply, the B shares, which are held by the Glazers, have ten times the voting rights of the A shares, which are the publicly traded ones. So one B share outvotes 9 B shares.

The Dr, on his award , " ..even though it's happened off the pitch, It's all part and parcel of being a Manchester United player and a Manchester United person...."
Like jumping into the crowd to 'kung fu' kick a spectator; jumping out of a window to avoid a drugs test; shagging your sister in law, or assaulting your partner, etc, etc.
Saints, the lot of 'em.
Pass the sick-bag.

A ?

Their share issue sounds more confusing than one of the paperboy's team talks..


"FFS, you useless lot of *****, give it to the wrinkly goal hanger and he'll stick it in the goal which in turn will keep me employed for another week..!"

a PhD and a doctorate are the same thing, or should I say a PhD is one of many doctorates available.

I doubt he'll be asked to give any lectures or do any research. He can't even pay his taxes, tbf.

Yes. I’m highlighting her sacrifices and thousands like her and then he’s given one for a tweet.

We’re officially in bizarro world. BBC Presenter essentially asking Grant Shapps why the government didn’t take the opportunity whilst in Manchester to meet up with Marcus Rashford to figure out ways to put things right. WTF.

Maybe I’m wrong and in fact a guy that has a sport B-Tec, which he achieved when he wasn’t kicking a ball around, surely has all the answers to the government’s problems.

Don't forget we've already got a pot smoking former cricketer in the House of Lords, so it's not that much of a stretch for the government to employ St Marcus as a consultant.
