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.

Seen this on TSFM yesterday :))
The SFA have a South African / English – English / South African dictionary.
I understand it contains the following definitions:
Glib: adj. Fit
Shameless: adj. Proper
Liar: adj. Person
Therefore I’m sure they will have no problem translating the description used by the RSA judiciary…….
Dontb…
Apologies for not getting back to you on the ole cure front.
My French aint that good – like my English un fact.
While I was googling the translation a facsinating feature on Ms Herzigoza appeared.

A cracking story, those two should have lost their jobs for telling porkies and wasting the tax payers money.
Well done on ahowing them up.

Sftb 13.02 I agree.Ithink Paul is getting at that.
I think the ugliness comes in the tax evasion that is allowed by those who can afford it.The welfare state for those rich enough to participate is a deep deep and complex but rewarding pool,Pellegrini is one of many,who,once over a certain threshhold will have advice coming from all directions on how to evade and avoid and he will get a pat on back for it as its all ‘legal’.
contrast this sharply with the welfare state for the poor and to coin a phrase it gives me the boak.The attacks on the unemployed,the ill,the downtrodden and are what i think of when I read of off shore accounts.
Scottish Leaf I hope it goes your way with the job,hope the reloc package is a good one
Anyone else thinking the ugly looking posters are outing themselves one by one?
Cheer up guys, it’s not all bad.

Mundo Deportivo published a poll asking which striker Barca should sign in Jan. 39% have voted for Georgios Samaras. http://t.co/WMgSILHEpy
Hi Paul67,
You maybe onto something with those image rights but just bear in mind ~ every girls crazy ’bout a sharp dressed man.

WTF..Please tell Me Sammi is Not going to Barca..
Somebody Tell Me..

Sos-Catalan papers Mundo Deportivo and Sport have front page stories today saying @FCBarcelona are looking at #Samaras as #Larsson type signing-@OHenleyAlex on twitter

Thanks – hopefully I will be in touch :-)
For the commute in these areas I believe I would be looking at close to 3k a year for a season ticket, but I can pay this monthly via wage deduction and would be looking to rent/buy within walking distance of the train station.

Thanks :-)
£50m + Messi and they can have him…..
Sammy’s away on a free at the end of the season. he wont be resigning with us.
I actually think Pellegrini could be classified as ‘ a tasty bit of older man’. Compared to Gallowgate 60 year olds,(some do make it), the following observations can be made:
1- He has two eyes. Most men over 30 in the Gallowgate have one eye.
2- He has luscious hair, some would say ‘Catholic hair’.
3- He can speak some English. As opposed to mumbling profanities under breath and howling like a werewolf.
4- He isn’t on the sick (and he’s not even sick!).
5- He may not be a confirmed alcoholic.
If I were a woman, say about 60, but still gagging for it, and still ‘operational’ ‘down there’, I’d whip out the bus pass no problem and show him what any self respecting wee wummin from the east end can do to a man- give him a performance he’d never forget- roids permitting.
I don’t think the argument about international players is to do with racial purity. I can see good players from smaller countries ” moving ” to higher ranked ones.

Re Ajax’s call ups
They appear to have only two players in the Dutch squad- keeper Cillesen and defender Blind, neither of whom seems likely to start ( Feyenoord and PSV have 4 and 5 players respectively).
They seem to have 4 Danes (3 may be in the squad) 1 Finn, 1 Icelander, and 1 Cameroonian possibly on International duty.
A couple of hard matches for their Danes, against Italy and Malta, would suit us.
gallowgate mad squad
Very funny post there.

Sammi won’t go to Barca unless he gets to take his muse, Lukas Zaluska, with him. Fraser Forster going to Barca is not the same thing at all for oor Sammi :-)
Wonder if hte Barca fans know that some of our “fans” refer to him as Samar-ass?
Scottishleaf: Rant
I wish you the best on this and if you succeed and want some info on London, hotels, flats, etc pls let me know as I have worked there many times

Why dont you go home by an England player
Shameful

Amongst other issues that the article raises, is the anachronistic position of International football.
It is a scene that has long outlived it’s relevance.
It used to offer a level of football higher than the domestic football of the day; when foreign players were scarce in countries’ Leagues.
Now, in most countries, the top teams are better than the National side, due to the influx of top players from other countries.
Added to that is the disruption these International games cause to club football and supporters.
At one time, the wages paid for an International game was more than a player’s club wage.
Not any more. The clubs, via their supporters, are subsidising these jaunts.
It is particularly galling in Scotland, where fans are expected to finance an historically corrupt Association, for fear of being branded unpatriotic.
Too much jingoism in the World today, as it is, for my liking.
Down with Internationals, I say.
………………
When people use sports victories to validate their own nationhood in all it’s gory glory …
Olympics, jingoism, pseudo Empire Games,
Just do your stuff and leave your flags (should that be flegs) at home.

good afternoon cqn
The mention of the police got me thinking about my youngest boys encounters with the police,when he first passed his driving test.
He would wear the Baseball cap and looked about 13,behind the wheel of my car.
Anyway one day he was pulled over by them,to cut a long story short,he said he ended up sitting in the back seat of the police car.
the one in the passenger seat said to him did he no what he had been pulled in for,sons reply was no,
To my sons astonishment,the two policement seemed to argue why they had stopped him,you said pull him in,no it was you who said it.
Eventually the driver told him he could go,my son said he got out of the car,with he thought the two of then now not talking to each other,unbelievable.
Foxy
Do you have some inside info which makes you so sure?
From what Sammi says, he loves life at Celtic.
Pay him what he is worth and he will stay ,unless of course, the old balance sheet
madness takes hold of PL…………
No surprise at the Samaras rumours, the man was a one man colossus last week, not seen a player put in a shift like that for any team in years.
Us good looking bhoys should always sympathise with the ugly geezers … apart from the zombies of course
SFTB- thanks for that piece of ole unlaziness.

Even I haven’t been pulled for that one!

Aye,yer right.
They both are. They got the brains and the looks,and the season tickets now that I come to think of it,and all I got was a lippy attitude.
And people wonder why?
micktt- maybe so, he would have ran through a brick wall last week.
Thanks for the kind sentiments regarding my court case. A total waste of tax payers money.
It was a great buzz all the same. The police still sit at that junction so if anyone else gets done for going through that junction just ask how they can see through the Eagle building.
Eagle-teed?
