Pretty sure Chevrolet fired the person who signed off on the Rags deal As paid far too much.
I still have no idea what Team Viewer is as never bothered to look them up.

General Motors were in a poor financial state when they signed that deal and no have no manufacturing in Europe after selling all their assets to French automobile manufactures

Just been on rag cafe. Where on earth has this idea that somehow we are paying players salaries off the books come from. How do they think we are doing this?

Ortega, Akanji, Alvarez were £39m, so it should be doable.

What with their track record in the transfer market

According to rag cafe we have been using drugs, bribing judges at CAS, bribing UEFA officials, fiddling all our sponsorships, and bribing referees. They are fixated on us but while they are doing this we have overtaken them on and off the pitch.

If anything needs an investigation its the Bebe transfer they did

Who aren't bothered that they don't actually win things.

Which makes it even more frustrating that they are sticking by them and providing the all important viewing figures.

They're probably more loyal than uniteds domestic supporters!

Yes, it's not like bunging a doorman an extra fifty quid in a brown envelope, is it?

For the guys we are talking about it would need to be 100k a week to make it worthwhile. Maybe more. And it would have to be in cash, because any form of cheque or bank transfer would leave traces that can be detected by, among others, HMRC.

So this would involve obtaining around a million a week in cash, splitting it between the players (a suitcase each perhaps?) and them taking it away in their cars. I mean, no one would notice, would they? Who does the actual paying out? Khaldoon? Because if it's the equivalent of a wages clerk, that's an obvious security risk. A huge temptation to talk to someone about it.

Then the player gets his £100k home. What does he do with it? It can't be taken down to the bank, as again, the transaction would show. Anyone who pays in huge amounts of cash into a bank at regular intervals had better have a good explanation because someone is going to be asking questions. Heard of the Money Laundering Regulations?

Spend it? 100k a week? Really? You can't even put it on at Belle Vue Dogs these days. Shove it in a cupboard and leave it?

The sheer impracticality is obvious. What happens when someone leaves? Why would Jesus, for example, move to Arsenal and lose his £100k a week in readies? That's without thinking of the obvious legal issues.

And if you're bribing everyone else in football to make sure you win, why would you need to spend anything on the squad? We could have won the title with Joey Barton and Bernardo Corradi.
