Nice payslip!

[DimPrawn]

Footballers are on PAYE for the club earnings.

However, any sponsorship, advertising, branding, merchandising etc (think Beckham etc) is always on a separate ltd, and yes, it will be paid offshore, non-dom, tax free etc.

So don't be fooled, they pay a tiny fraction of their "earnings" as taxable income.

But that's okay, it's "fair".

I laughed at that... that's some expensive half time oranges!

£65 deducted for food. Do you think some of them take sandwiches in?

[BA to the Stars]

I would guess that would be against FA rules.

And they'd be within IR35 anyway. Can't see the clubs agreeing to a substitute clause somehow.

Only when he's on the bench

The guy is on PAYE? I thought these guys would be using Ltd companies!

I see he lives very near Menlove Avenue... such a charming name for a road, I always thought...

[FiveTimes]

Not sure if it has anything to do with being classified as bankrupt

I wonder if my ltd could stretch...?

It is authentic too, apparently.
