I wouldn't know about that , as I haven't lived in the UK for over 10 years , but I doubt it . but if I did come back a portakabin full of sweaty tramps underwear next to a septic tank is far more more appealing than where Tim smith will be living from next season.

Doubt it's Tim Smith, didn't he have a house with his family previously before joining from Wakefield?

Don't see what all the fuss is about. The money would only have ended up back with us through a series of dodgy loans anyway. Non-story.

Shocking.

Neal Keeling and Neil Barker may be one and the same person judging by the absolute garbage that they both print.

The Men used to be a good newspaper with excellent reporters,now they just have what appears to have some very lazy reporters,that's why they have to give it away free on Thursday and Friday.

O for a Jack McNamara/ Tom Bergin type reporter.

What I find worrying here is how has a hack at the MEN come about this information?

I'm not 100% but I'm pretty sure details like this are not in the public domain so that can only mean that someone on the council has leaked this.

Agent Garrido hard at work possibly.

It may not be newsworthy to you, however the non payment of Council Tax is a Civil Offence and can be punished by imprisonment, which in turn does make it a newsworthy story and the fact he is a sportsman in the public eye. Council Tax bills generally increase if this happens and it's the people that are paying their Council Taxes that suffer. I've nothing against Salford by the way

I'm sure it was a genuine mistake putting Salford Red Devils Foundation on the paperwork.

Clearly a mix-up. Therefore not newsworthy.

If he was deliberately avoiding it then that's a different story.
