Daily Mail in 2007 predicted the England team of the future for the 2014 World Cup

Aside from that being a monumental Giggs, something shamelessly nicked from twitter - the Daily Mail also predicted Oswald Mosely would become PM.

 

Basically, they're unable to predict fuck all.

 

Fuck all is exactly what they are able to predict if you ask me.

French 75% tax rate proposal rejected

 

The French Senate voted on Monday to reject the government's proposed 75 percent rate of income tax that clubs say will damage French football.

 

President Francois Hollande wants to tax all revenue over one million euros at 75 percent. The levy would be paid by employers and affect some 14 Ligue 1 clubs, bringing in an additional 44 million euros to the government.

 

Clubs had threatened to boycott games in France's top two tiers at the end of November as a means of raising awareness over the issue, which they claim will lead to French clubs being less competitive in Europe and see established stars and promising talents go elsewhere.

 

However, France's upper House of Parliament has voted against the measure. The lower house, the National Assembly, has yet to have its say on the issue.

 

Socialist Senator Francois Marc had attempted to add an amendment, which would have meant Monaco -- currently exempt from French tax laws -- also being subject to the measure.

 

The Principality club have already made it clear they will not accept the French Football League's demand that all affiliated clubs be based on French soil for tax purposes come the end of the 2013-14 campaign.

 

With the Senate's rejection of the bill, however, the amendment is rendered null.

Couple of years ago it was supposed to be us.

 

We were/are more an example of how to improve your squad outside the top 4-6 without opulent outlay, rather than how to bring kids through surely.

 

Who were we bringing through a couple of years back bar Carroll?

 

 

2 of the trio in that article came through under Pardew, so it may yet have some kind of relevancy. :lol:
