Playing in a joke league really doesn’t help ASM quell his more “let me entertain you / myself” instincts 

He’s literally got nothing else to do in such an irrelevant league. Once Ronaldo calls it the league will be as relevant to the global stage as your local Saturday league.

One of the few ex-players I want to see do well. He had character on and off the pitch, and those videos of him buying stuff for the kids at toy shops and stuff is class. You could argue it was done to improve his 'BRAND', but whatever.

Says a lot about ASM and money that he’s not doing the 2yr tax free grift that I’m led to believe is how it works in Saudi. Unless they’ve found a loophole.

Do you mean gratuity? McCormick will correct me for Saudi specific laws but that’s essentially the ME version of pension which kicks in after 2 years and is given at end of service for normal folks. No idea how it would work for footballers. The end of service payment would be astronomical.

 

He won’t be paying tax at all whilst there if that’s what you mean.

Not sure what it’s called but got the impression if you did a 2yr+ stint you got a lot of tax relief but if your stint was any shorter you were hit with a lot of tax if returning back to the UK. 
 

Seem to recall it hitting Jordan Henderson (?) hence he went to Ajax as it saved him a heavy tax bill (?). Maybe it applies to Turkey for ASM.

 

Maybe I’m just talking rubbish also 😆

You can’t just assume Henderson didn’t return to the UK for tax reasons. Also, totally unfair on ASM given he’s not British to be begin with.
