Rafalove Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 I think the biggest reason is injuries. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlazeT44 Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 Apparently, Fenerbache and Mourinho are "monitoring his situation". Off to Turkey? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCK Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 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.

LFEE Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

McCormick Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 I imagine it’d be the same for footballers under Saudi labor law. 1-5 years you’re entitled to half your monthly salary as an entitlement then 5+ it’d be the full gratuity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 😆 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
