French clubs to strike after government proposes increase tax rate for "high earners" to 75%.........

First topic message reminder :

Pretty much what the title says. The French government has set out a new proposal to tax anyone living in the country who makes over €1m at a rate of 75%. The top clubs in Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 have said they will strike and have no matches played between Nov. 29th and Dec. 2nd. The clubs are worried that the high tax rate will prevent them from signing top players and competing with the rest of Europe. Ligue 1 leaders PSG, meanwhile, likely find this to be nothing more than a minor annoyance since there is no tax rate for which the club's owners can't compensate.

To me this is crazy. Maybe they're just trying to attack rich football players but at the same time they will drive out major players in their economy, surely?

so now we need to find out why he requested his account deeted, anyone got any intel on any debates he had that caused him to leave?

Pity. I enjoyed his posts alot actually. Didn't agree with his entire "legislature", but Good all the same

Bit sudden for him to want his account deleted, no?

Hope he comes back sometime.

I heard he wanted his account deletec because someone found out his identity.

I don't care who knows who I am. Olly, GSC, and a few others on here and other forums know my identity. My twitter account is linked under my name and post count.
