This was actually a big component of the football leaks scandal last year.
Buying Time: The Scramble for Fresh Capital in Professional Football - SPIEGEL ONLINE - International
There are enough transfers of a decent size in European football along with guaranteed TV license payments that its...
Mendes was implicated 2 years ago.
Jorge Mendes: Agent denies aiding tax evasion as Radamel Falcao is investigated
Ronaldo described him as “the only person in the world who knows less than me about tax” and Mendes himself said he was innocent of everything because he handed off his tax issues...
The point is that it isn’t Wolves who need to make the profit, the wider “alliance” between Mendes and Fosun does. Likewise, wolves don’t have to replace a player with equal quality, just a similar return on investment.
Wolves are a vehicle acting as a means to an end because contracts like the...
I think with immigration having been so central to the Leave campaign its very unlikely that Football will be untouched, although probably some special deal will be agreed so that footballers find it easier than most other people to get their visa. I'm also certain that Pezky is right and the...
It takes hardly any research at all to know that you can't make a lot of money owning and running a PL football club.
Unless they were asset strippers, crooks or idiots almost all the owners of English football clubs past and present have had non-profit motives for their clubs.
On the other...
Its always a danger with having a sugar daddy with no real connection to the club. What is there to keep them here if we start to look like a bad business decision?
Where did those extra 27,000 people come from? Had they never watched "Lawn Ball" before? What happened to the other clubs in Leipzig? Should we be happy with being called FOSUN Wolves?
I didn't say people like Le Pen shouldn't be given the right to speak, I said that the "speaking" of people who held similar views was the, well documented, direct cause of the deaths British soldiers, some of whom might feel a little aggrieved if their deaths were spun as having been to secure...
I don't want to labour the point because I don't think I disagree with you fundamentally. What sticks in the throat is the idea that those boys went off to die in Europe believing they were doing so to defend the rights of fascists. I know you're trying to defend them as the rights of everybody...
You claim to be sick of having to care about people but you're the most precious, easily offended person on this thread. "Boo Hoo the black lesbian disableds are coming..."
I'm sure there are tens of thousands of British nationals being held back from their dream of being an NHS consultant because they're being undercut by cheap foreign labour.
I don't think the Chinese will be too upset. The more insular and petty our country becomes the more we'll frighten off foreign capital and the cheaper our assets - like Wolves - will become to buy up. I work closely with HMRC datasets, anybody like to hazard a guess as to how many new companies...
I think there have been a lot of promises, from a lot of takeovers, over the last 20 years and at the moment there has been nothing exceptional to set FOSUN apart from the bulk of them. Chucking a wedge of cash at players has been done, mass changes to the team in one summer has been done, even...
