Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini has managed to register his image rights on the off-shore tax-efficient territory of Guernsey. Income received there for use of his rights everywhere else will not attract the kind of tax mere mortals pay in their daily lives.
Pellegrini, 60, developed a genial personality to combat profound ugliness, an affliction which has affected him for decades, so news that his image has commercial value is a wonderful boon for the multi-millionaire. Manchester City will also benefit as any monies they pay for use of their manager’s image will not attract tax or National Insurance contributions.
Uefa president, Michele Platini, who has never had to worry about ugliness, now has a different challenge. Whether or not to abandon his well-meaning Financial Fair Play aspirations, or get ugly on those who try to usurp his best intentions.

“everyone with any “vague professional interest” knew that Whyte was a “rogue”.”
His roguishness was probably off the scale.
But the balance was tipped in his favour because his wealth was off the scale.
All this means is that the MSM don’t have a working scale.
79 caps, your comments about Communism are misguided. Of course you could always go to live in a Communist country. We would soon see you back with us of course. I met a Soviet dissident who was jailed for having the temerity to disagree with Soviet fascism. He had particular scorn for the useful idiots who doubted or downplayed the horrors of Communism.

Either he was lying last night, or they were unprepared for whatever reason to report it at the time.
In either case, he totally incriminates himself as being incompetent.
‘His roguishness was probably off the scale’
-and surely a new world record?
Partick Thistle selling tickets direct to Celtic fans just now , anyone interested phone 0141 579 1971.

”All these posters who have tremendous sympathy with the folk of Ireland and horrific suffering the went through in their fight for independence from the British…. But the overwhelming message on this site is anti Salmond and anti independence.”

Maybe that’s because Scotland’s relationship with the UK is, and always has been, entirely different to that of Ireland’s.
I’m not sure if that’s ever occurred to you.

My favouite bit was when Chick said that no-one knew the old club (company or whatever) were in trouble until the legned told them. Approximately 18 months after everone else knew the MSM were cought up (or out).
Given that wee chick speaks for the legned (and knows everything on his mind), I presume that press conference was in no way orchestrated.

Should have said for game on 27/10/13 at Firhill.

Danny and Davy.
Pretty sure they did.
Sammy to Barca? nooooooooooooooooooooo!
Winning Captains,
Is Celtic_first on the list?
Last time I saw a post he was wandering round the Pyrennes I think.
Would be tragic to miss a great match day commentator for all of us who really on the CQN updates.
Not to mention a quality poster and all round good ghuy.
Hail Hail

Morning all. Clear skies and very cold down here.
Anyone taking bets at how long the latest incarnation fae Govan will bring ignominy on Scotland?
Did George Galloway’s motion reach the floor of Parliament? Haven’t seen or heard anything to that effect.
Here you go: http://www.parliament.uk/edm/2013-14/526
supported by two from the six counties and one from Wales?!?
What a fantastic list from Winning Captains.
Like most of you, if I had a fiver for every time someone on that list had bought me a drink I would have at least £20.00.

Do you think that maybe the SB era
could be coming to an end ?
Does anyone have any intelligent, honest Sevconian friends? (serious question, there must be some out there – they can’t all be as stupid we like to portray them). If so, do any of them believe the crap that the papers print or that comes out of the mouths of Smith,Mather, King etc?
I try to imagine the same crap coming out of CP and how we, the fans, would react to it and how the media would have handled it. In both cases we know it would be entirely different.
This whole episode would make a magnificent case study for media students in how, even in a free, democratic country, the media can publish lies and half-truths with impunity -managing the message rather than reporting the truth.
That so many journalists are allowed to do 180 turns on what they reported only a few months before, without ever admitting their duplicity, is staggering.
Tom English today tells it like it is, not for the first time, with regards to Smith’s doublespeak.
Orwell’s Doublethink and Newspeak ideas really are being played out in Scotland.

It’s been possible to buy tickets for some away games without a season ticket for a few seasons now.
For me it was clear the necessity of having a season book was over when they started selling tickets for the old Glasgow Derby and ‘Special’ season books were at an end.

The choice is UKIP right wing Tory English rule or self rule. Yip! I’m for breaking up the union.
I see Ian Hart has resigned from Ibrox in order to “spend more time on his charity work.”
Did he have any responsible role to do with their AC Milan charity match?
I remember being at Cappielow one winter afternoon in the early 1980’s and
as my father asked me if I wanted something from the shop – Danny McGrain
cleared the ball out for a shy and gave me a cauliflower ear :o)
But DFM is one 4 World Class player that I have been lucky enough to see in the hoops.
1. Kenny Dalglish
2. Danny McGrain
3. Paul McStay
4. Henrik Larsson

“Rangers boss McCoist welcomes Dave King approach” – is there anyone Sally has not welcomed as his new boss? What a snivelling coward of a man he is.
