Jose's lawyers:

Whatever the truth of these cases, nice to see the authorities going hard after tax cheats. I can't think of any cases in the UK off the top of my head where someone famous/wealthy was charged with tax evasion, mostly because tax 'avoidance' is legal and practiced by members of government themselves.

PAYS TAX WHEN HE WANTS
PAYS TAX WHEN HE WAAAAAAAAANTS
JOSE MOURINHO
PAYS TAX WHEN HE WANTS

Just opened up the one footy app and see Di Maria is being sentenced to one year in jail for tax fraud. LOL WTF

Oh. Playing in Spain is srs business

Di Maria, Ronaldo, Mourinho all Jorge Mendes clients. Starting to think the guy might be a little dodgy. Wonder if Diego Costa, Falcao, James might be next.

Also flashback to December when Mendes client Pepe posted his tax return on Instagram to try and prove he wasn't a crook, after it came out that he and Fabio Coentrao had sold their image rights to a company in Panama for 1 euro.

Super-agent Mendes summoned over Falcao tax evasion

I feel like Sweet's early 1970s hit "Blockbuster" ought to be easily adaptable into a suitable terrace chant for Mourinho.



The Tax Dodger!!!

Alternative options include Nelly Furtado's "Maneater" ("he's a tax dodger") and The Prodigy's "Firestarter" ("I'm a tax dodger, twisted tax dodger"). There's plenty to work with.

Let me tell you how it will be
There's none for you, twenty for me
Cause I'm Mourinho, yeah, I'm Mourinho

Whack for Mourinho
Whack for Mourinho
The tax cheque's in the post, oh

(ok this one's a stretch)

its fun to shirk on your
P-A-Y-E

haha, that one's good

our fixtures out, can't really complain - only the four midweek home games, did get boxing day at home which'll be a ballache if not impossible, pigs and forest away in back to back weekends is nice as i'll ignore the first but most won't (interesting to see how they do the usual shift of us vs pigs to sunday lunchtime given we play the tuesday after), might make tickets for the second easier. only away game i was targetting that might be awkward is derby as that's new year's day, everything else looks fine (may have to ignore cardiff as that's midweek, but that was always marginal)

I can actually picture him saying this with that deadly serious look on his face.

Brimful of asha your p45, is a chant idea I've had for a decade

I read the news today, oh boy
Four thousand holes in Jose's tax returns
And though the holes were rather small
They had to count them all

cant figure out the last line. something about being chased by interpol

what's that coming over the hill, is it the taxman, is it the taxman?

today is gonna be the day that you're gonna have to pay whats due
by now you should've somehow notified HM revenue

Nothing to do with Mendes' clients, it's all down to image rights held in offshore accounts.

Spain getting back money in order to clear some of Reals debt.

Actually think it's great they are doing it and closing the loop hole.

Going to be in London on September 30th. How much more do you all estimate tickets for Chelsea/City will be versus Arsenal/Brighton? I was going to snap do Arsenal if they were home but the other match is obviously much better.

is this to the tune of "Hip Hop Is Dead" by Nas? Seems a little elaborate.

In.....
