I also know a guy whose au pair’s boyfriend is Herrera’s cousin and he says Herrera is a right cunt.

I know a guy who’s au pair’s boyfriend is actually herreras first cousin, and he agrees entirely.

You bollox

Oooffftttt.

I’m utterly deflated

Manchester United says a half-year loss of $18 million is the result of U.S. President Donald Trump’s tax overhaul.

The U.S. corporate tax rate was cut from 35 percent to 21 percent in December, but Man United chief financial officer Cliff Batty says Trump’s tax reforms “should be beneficial to the club in the long term… however we are still working through the details.”

United says the changes required the team, which is owned by the American Glazer family and listed on the New York Stock Exchange, to make an accounting write off of 48.8 million pounds ($68 million).

It led to United on Thursday reporting losses of 12.87 million pounds in the first half of the financial year after making a profit of 18.7 million pounds in the six months to Dec. 31 2016.

Trump referenced United being owned by a friend in a recent interview with British broadcaster Pier Morgan.

United’s revenue rose 10 percent year-on-year to 304.9 million pounds.

Am pretty sure Ronaldo sorted out a settlement for a few million with authorities, as I remember reading about him wanting Real Madrid to pay some of it.

did he? Just looked there again and looks like the case is still outstanding. I had forgot too that Mourinho was up for tax fraud too and he did make a settlement.

The united boyos are keeping their heads down here.

I’m going to be charitable here and say @dodgy_keeper has bigger fish to fry and here’s hoping it’ll all work out for him. Of course he’ll at some stage be in a position to tell the utd players how to pay tax on a large lump sum.

Multi millionaire has an issue paying tax? Never heard the like of it mate. I just don’t know which way to turn.

You’re a good e-pal, mate.

Man U lose 1-0 on Tyneside to Rafael Benítez Newcastle. Once Newcastle took the lead just after the hour mark, it was never really in doubt.

Cheers for the update jeff
