Re: Football : Season 2009/2010
not a great result and maybe the money they will lose will mean he has to go. If they get knocked out the UEFA Cup too it wil be a disaster for them

Re: Football : Season 2009/2010
Having just signed a 5 year contract can Liverpool afford to sack Rafa? 20 million compensation will be hard to come by, especially if they fail to qualify for Champions League at the end of this season.

I doubt a decent new manager would jump at the chance to manage and in-debited, Torres-Less, Poorly run Liverpool. High exceptions and no decent resources for the foreseeable future.
Anyway United have their own problems. They can't afford £25 million. Spending that much given their already serious debt would be madness.

Re: Football : Season 2009/2010
The most common complaint from United fans lately is about their injuries. Do they really want the most injury-prone striker in the EPL? He even went off injured last night, funnily enough. I know its a bit early but they don't know how long he'll be out for.
And besides, United had the chance to sign Torres when they sold Dietmar van Nostrelboy but chose not to. So I doubt he is on Ferguson's radar at the moment.

What's the punishment? Anyone know? If he was guilty what would Spurs do?

1. Where, over a period of time, an offender has evaded tax, they must not only pay the tax and pay a financial penalty but a custodial sentence should also be imposed.
2. The length of the sentence will depend on a number of factors including:
* the amount of tax evaded;
* the period of time during which the evasion took place;
* the effort made to conceal the fraud;
* whether others were drawn in and corrupted;
* the character of the offender;
* the extent (if known) of his personal gain;
* whether the offender pleaded guilty;
* the amount recovered.
Current Sentencing Practice Reference: B9-2.2

Re: Football : Season 2009/2010
LOL. He will never get a custodial sentence. Probably pay back the money and a community/suspended sentence at worst. Is 40k at the low or high end of these types of crimes?
He can afford a good lawyer. Still needs to be found guilty of course.

Re: Football : Season 2009/2010
Win 7-1 in the Cup but don't proceed to the next round? Should have double checked the eligible player list.

Re: Football : Season 2009/2010
Jockey Lester Piggot was jailed for 3 years back in 1987, but that was for a sum of around £3m. It's hard to speculate on these sort of cases, and of course that's if he's found guilty.
As you say he can afford a good lawyer.
