Having a free 10mins this afternoon, I've had a look at the YouTube footage (over and over) and, imo, he clearly says "Yeah, and others [uvers], you f***** black c***, f****** knob head".
SI are massive and although he's she's never worked for a footy club before, it doesn't preclude her from being qualified for role of heading up comms.
Worked for ESPN and SI.com. Knows European footy inside out, loves Rafa, hates the British sports press and has written some great articles. Seems to be well connected, too.
Nope. He was asked a question during a rather long interview about whether footballers consider tax laws/implications before they decide to move to another country or sign a contract. He answered: "Of course we footballers think about it; we are not stupid, we keep an eye on it." When you see your contract down by 30 per cent you cannot be happy. I cannot do anything – it must be Gordon Brown or David Cameron. I think the weakness of the sterling is not helping the Premiership because for those competing and fighting against the European teams it is a big weak point. Hopefully over the next few months and years it will get back to what it was not so long ago."
