As soon as we agreed on a price there was always the chance that other interested clubs would come in a match it. The question is whether he thinks the Championship is better chance of making a big step in 2-3 years as opposed to a small club in Ligue1. Personally I think he has a better chance of getting a big money move inside a few years if he impresses in the championship. I very much doubt Reims are going to offer him more money than we are. Could be big pull that it's only 100 miles from Paris, but then again does that really matter much at this stage of his career. I think this is a good point, despite being in top flight in France, they will be on a totally different level financially to us (i.e. us being better off). From what I can understand, outside of Qatari money in Paris and the Russian money in Monaco, there isn't a lot of cash in the league, something to do with their version of Setanta Sports (I think) failing a year or so ago.

Clearly not the player so them or us. I think the most interesting thing is that we will now apparently only pay half the wages. Guess Bausors late haggling wasn't the stuff of nightmares after all. Now lets just hope the red tape clears. Link to post Share on other sites
FinallyRegistered 91 Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Interestingly Zulte Waregem have just signed a winger on loan from Stade De Reims. MvB -> Reims Reims winger -> Zulte Dompe from zulte -> Boro Wishful thinking, I know Link to post Share on other sites

I can’t stand Burnley and the style of football they play. Okay we don’t play the most beautiful football under Warnock, but Burnley is next level boring. Wish they’d just knock around in League 1 and not bother anyone 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Isn’t the tax rate for high earners massive in France too.? I seem to recall there being a hoo -hah about Monaco having a competitive advantage due to tax rates or something a couple of years ago. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Perhaps the raise didn’t happen in the end. I found this when Googling it "Many French footballers already pay the top rate of tax of 49% and the surcharge will take the overall rate to 75%. The surcharge will be levied on the club rather than the player, but will increase the wages bills of some clubs significantly." 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I think that was the problem and also why they complied. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Boroscally96 45 Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Andraz Sporar has already said goodbye to Sporting and, knows A BOLA, is these days in his native country, Slovenia, with bags made for England. The agreement with Middlesbrough has been closed for a long time, but some of the player's fiscal issues, in Portugal, ended up delaying the Slovenian international's arrival in England. Something that, we learned, was finally overcome yesterday, so Sporar, also in Slovenia, said goodbye to the closest people, with a trip scheduled towards British territory. Just yesterday TeessideLive said that the reason why Sporar had not yet been made official at Middlesbrough was linked to the striker's difficulty in leaving Portugal for England due to the tax regime of a non-Portuguese athlete who will remain linked to a Portuguese club but playing in England, even adding that the fact that Sporar does not have a Portuguese passport would be delaying the outcome of the deal. Something that, according to data collected by our newspaper, does not correspond to the truth. The impasse arose, only and only, due to issues and which related to the contract between Sporting and Sporar, as well as the respective tax matters. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
