tomski Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 1 hour ago, London Wanderer said: Henderson saying he's pretty unhappy over in the Saudi League. Says the match attendances and lifestyle is taking it's toll. Surprised he took the risk to be honest, especially with the Euros this year. With a contract to 2026, they won't sell him on the cheap. Who’d of thought. Like he went for the money😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auckland_bwfc Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Too much money to know what to do with it becomes irrelevant. Next on the list is having their ego groomed by 100s of thousands of fans and relentless sky sports news articles about what their longest tee shot was...... Take that away and replace it with 250 fans and a fawaffle burger stand and the guys gonna feel lonely. Oh well.....cya! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London Wanderer Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Aye I’ve got no sympathy for the lad. Sadly I’d not be surprised if Southgate still picked him. A bonkers decision at 33 when you’re still a top class midfielder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he’s done a job but he’s not top class and he signed his own suicide note when agreeing a deal that would sort his family for generations. Hopefully him and Gareth let him go gracefully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firminho also looking at getting out to Saw this Tough shit really for him and Henderson, they know what they were signing up for and if they didn't they at least knew how much they were getting paid Meanwhile Ronaldo is loving it and was the top scorer in 2023 with 54 goals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Feelgood Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 44 minutes ago, tomski said: Thought moving to Holland removes the repayment? I understood that he got £700k pw (!!) tax free so long as he saw out his 3 year contract. There were tax-free bonus payments for signing & performance which he may find are now immediately due tax. Not fulfilling it means he owes 'normal' tax rates for that money*. Of course tax rates in Holland may be higher or lower than UK ones but certainly not Saudi type rates. *it's 49.5% for income over €75k pa. Unless he has complicated non-dom plans which wouldn't fit his self-styled holier-than-though image. £700k pw for 3 years. Jeez. You'd find a way wouldn't you ! £36.5m pa. Over £100m in 3 years.

Members DazBob Posted January 17 Members Share Posted January 17 He's probably already got more money than he or his kids can ever spend. Why be unhappy for 2 and a half more years for extra money? No doubt he had a palatial home, but his missus, for example, wouldn't be able to live a life anything like she can do in Europe. Living out in the desert for 3 years sounds thoroughly miserable to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
