With the 2018 tournament in Russia raking in a record-breaking 3.5billion viewers worldwide, the World Cup can single-handedly boom or bust a player’s stock in the upcoming January transfer market.

It’s therefore no surprise that  outcast  chose this week to drop his explosive bombshell interview with to the world, using the World Cup break as an opportunity to remind potential suitors of his otherworldly talents – and his desire to move.

Cristiano Ronaldo will be hoping for a great World Cup after his bombshell interview this week

The Manchester United outcast publicly slammed the club in an interview with Piers Morgan

A fruitful World Cup campaign could be just the nudge Chelsea, Bayern Munich, who Sportsmail , and EVden evE nakliYAT Napoli need to table an offer for Ronaldo in January, with the Portuguese star almost destined to leave Old Trafford after publicly besmirching the club’s reputation.

And Ronaldo is not the only out-of-favour international eager to engineer a move away ahead of next summer, with several players either stuck on the bench or out of contract next year.

With the tournament fast approaching, Sportsmail has forged a list of six stars who will likely use the World Cup as a platform to secure a move.

 

Cristiano Ronaldo – Manchester United, Portugal

Where else to start?

It’s the point of no return for Ronaldo at Manchester United, and his tell-all interview has made clubs well aware of his intention to move sooner rather than later.

Of course, the field of potential suitors is limited should he wish to remain on his reported £500,000-a-week contract, with few clubs able to afford his monstrous salary.

Sportsmail  that Ronaldo’s agent Jorge Mendes has approached the likes of Chelsea, Bayern Munich, Napoli, Sporting Lisbon and Newcastle in a bid to secure his Old Trafford escape, but few clubs seem interested at this stage.

Ronaldo is still considered Portugal’s superstar in the eyes of national coach Fernando Santos

A favourite of Portugal boss Fernando Santos, Ronaldo will no doubt play a crucial role in what is set to be his last World Cup, and it is likely the team will play to his strengths tactically at the tournament.

In a seemingly kind group alongside Ghana, South Korea and dark horses Uruguay, Portugal have a genuine shot at going deep in the tournament, meaning more game time and exposure for the 37-year-old superstar.

As Portugal’s free-kick and penalty taker, there’s a good chance too of Ronaldo fighting for the golden boot at the end of the tournament, should his country advance deep into the knockouts. 

 

Hakim Ziyech – Chelsea, Morocco

At club level, there’s no denying Ziyech is a small fish in a big pond. At Morocco however, the winger is arguably his country’s talisman.

At the last World Cup in 2018, Ziyech was one of the most highly sought-after talents across Europe, having almost marshalled Ajax to the Champions League final before the tournament.

But now, having chalked up just two starts across all competitions this season, it is evident the Moroccan is no longer part of Chelsea’s long-term plans for the future.

Chelsea outcast Hakim Ziyech will eye a move in January after the World Cup with Morocco

In a group alongside 2018 runners-up Croatia and third-placed finishers Belgium, Morocco no doubt have an uphill task of advancing to the knockouts, even if they manage to beat Canada in their final group game.

However, if Ziyech inspires an upset in one of the opening two fixtures and reminds the world of his ability on the right flank, a healthy line of clubs will queue up in an effort to sign him in January.

 

Christian Pulisic – Chelsea, USA

Another unsettled Chelsea star, Pulisic has also struggled for game time this season, starting just three Premier League matches all season so far.

However, it’s likely minutes will not be a problem for the American winger at the World Cup, EvDEN evE NaKLiYAt as USA bid to surprise a few with their talented young squad.

AC Milan full-back Sergino Dest, Juventus midfielder Weston McKennie and Borussia Dortmund youngster Gio Reyna all join Pulisic in Gregg Berhalter’s group, handing the 24-year-old plenty of talented team-mates to play alongside as he looks to shine on the world stage. Should you loved this informative article and you wish to receive much more information concerning evDEn eVe naKLiyaT assure visit the web site.  

Out-of-favour Chelsea star Christian Pulisic is considered one of USA’s most important players

Pulisic was linked with Manchester United in the summer, as Erik ten Hag expressed interest in the winger, and fruitful performances against England, Iran and Wales could tempt the Red Devils to make another swoop in January.

In particular, should Pulisic wish to secure a move within the Premier League, there are few better teams to play at the World Cup than England eVdEn Eve NAkLiYAt in terms of exposure.

 

Youri Tielemans – Leicester, Belgium

It looked for all the world that Tielemans would leave Leicester this summer, especially as the Foxes made numerous changes to their squad with the exits of Kasper Schmeichel and Wesley Fofana.

And yet, although the Belgian stuck around for one more year, it seems increasingly likely that the midfielder will finally leave the King Power Stadium next summer at the very least, considering his contract is set to expire in June.

Belgian midfielder Youri Tielemans is out of contract with Leicester at the end of the campaign

On footballing ability alone Tielemans will not struggle to attract potential suitors this summer, but perhaps Leicester’s poor early season form has made several European giants hesitant towards signing the playmaker, EvdeN EVe nAKliYat damaging his future prospects of Champions League football next season.

Joining the likes of Kevin De Bruyne, Thibaut Courtois and Romelu Lukaku on international duty, Tielemans has every chance of doing very well at the World Cup and boosting his stock ahead of the January transfer window.

As his contract is expiring this summer, clubs outside of England can approach to sign the midfielder on a free transfer six months in advance — Tielemans will hope that Europe’s top clubs are queuing round the door in January after he puts in a strong World Cup performance.

 

Joao Felix – Atletico Madrid, Portugal

Having fallen out of favour at Atletico Madrid this season, Joao Felix has only started just five LaLiga matches under Diego Simeone this campaign, struggling to justify his whopping £110million price tag.

The Portuguese forward is weighing up his options in the Spanish capital ahead of next summer and the World Cup could present the perfect opportunity to show what he can do.

Joao Felix has been benched continually under Diego Simeone at Atletico Madrid this season

With a starting spot under Santos far from guaranteed, with Ronaldo, Milan attacker Rafael Leao and Manchester City star Bernardo Silva as competition in the front three, Felix is still likely to get enough of a run-out in the Portugal team.

Manchester United reportedly had a £113m bid for Felix rejected during the summer transfer window before signing Antony, but it is understood Ten Hag remains interested in the Portuguese international.

A solid performance at the World Cup could also force Simeone to reconsider his first team plans when LaLiga returns.

In what has emerged the most challenging period of Felix’s career so far, the World Cup could well become a make or break tournament for the 23-year-old as he bids to revive his career.

 

Memphis Depay – Barcelona, Holland

It seems no matter how well Depay is performing for his domestic side, he always delivers the goods for Holland on the international stage.

Boasting a fruitful record of 42 goals in 81 caps, Depay has been a crucial aspect of Louis van Gaal’s side throughout his tenure as manager, providing Holland with a cutting edge in attack.

A few eyebrows were raised when the 28-year-old was named in Holland’s World Cup squad, as he had not played a single minute of football since picking up an injury in September, but the selection demonstrates just how highly he is viewed in their national set-up.

Memphis Depay is eight goals away from matching Robin van Persie’s record for Holland (50)

As for Barcelona, Depay was struggling to break into Xavi’s first team before the injury, only featuring in three cameo appearances at the start of the campaign.

Bolstering their front three with star attackers Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha this summer, it seems unlikely Depay is part of Barcelona’s long-term future, and the Dutchman will no doubt be seeking a move in January. 

With a strong World Cup display in front of goal, Depay could edge closer to Robin van Persie’s record tally of 50 for Holland and remind European giants of his goal-scoring talents at top level.

LIZ JONES on the terrifying insecurity of having to rent in your 60s https://www.announcement.news/liz-jones-on-the-terrifying-insecurity-of-having-to-rent-in-your-60s-28/ https://www.announcement.news/liz-jones-on-the-terrifying-insecurity-of-having-to-rent-in-your-60s-28/#respond Thu, 08 Jun 2023 11:13:58 +0000 https://www.announcement.news/?p=75001 The call came on a Saturday morning last month.I always knew it would. It had been lurking in the background as I tried to carry on, make plans. I knew that it would all end, swiftly. Not with a whimper but with a bang.

I’d been told there was a viewing planned at the cottage I’ve rented since 2018.It’s been up for sale since April. I learned it was going to be put on the market in February, when the landlady turned up with little warning, an estate agent in tow.

The agent started taking photographs of every room and my courtyard garden. Without asking first.Or even talking to me. Because who am I, other than a lowly private renter, unworthy of even a kindly ‘Good morning’.

The viewing was scheduled for 11.30 am (there had been a few). I walked my dogs early, evDEN eVE NaKliYaT then raced up a steep hill to make sure I was back in time to tidy.

At 11.45, my mobile rang.It was the landlady. ‘The viewing is cancelled but there is another one at half past one.’

I dared to express my dismay, my upset at the constant intrusions. Yet another no-show; another day when I was unable to do as I pleased.

Liz Jones, 64, (pictured) opens up about being given two months’ notice to leave her rented cottage

‘Right!’ the landlady snapped.’I’m serving you with a Section 21. You have two months’ notice to move out as of Monday.’ I crumpled. Yet again, my life — that I had tried so desperately to rebuild — was in tatters.

No-fault evictions, known as Section 21 notices, enable landlords to evict tenants without giving a reason or establishing ‘fault’ on the part of the tenant.

No matter how long you’ve lived there (for me, four years) or how much you’ve spent on the place (in my case £59,000 — I cashed in my pension and got a loan to pay for everything from a new kitchen to underfloor heating, new bathroom and white goods) you can be summarily dismissed.

How is this allowed?We are protected at work if we are sick or lose our jobs, but when we rent a home — and surely a home is integral to our health, productivity and sense of belonging — we can be thrown to the sharks.

Surely, there is more to being a landlord than having me pay your mortgage when I have paid the rent on time and looked after your property?

A lifeline was dangled in front of our poor, cold noses last month when Michael Gove — since appointed Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities under Rishi Sunak — voiced his support for Boris Johnson’s commitment to ending no-fault evictions.

Mr Gove knows as well as anyone that it isn’t the workshy who end up renting.After all, divorce is a common factor. The Government won’t get growth from a workforce that wonders if getting out of bed is worth the bother.

His speech was music to the ears of the more than four million private renters in the UK.

The misery, the uncertainty.Goodness only knows how families with school-age children cope with the disruption, the endless reading of meters and changing of suppliers, the redirection of post, the changing of council tax and on and on and on … It’s all so unbelievably stressful.

I can’t help but suspect this gross abuse of human rights has never been at the top of the political agenda because the vast majority of politicians, civil servants, newspaper columnists and eVDEn evE NAkliYAT editors own their own homes; or even two of them.

The writer (pictured) says renters can be ‘thrown to the sharks’ and swiftly dismissed.Liz says  she has rented nine properties in her adult life, and has been evicted four times

The problem doesn’t enter their brains and, if it does, they assume people who rent are either feckless or the very young, who will soon claw their way on to the property ladder.These are the sort of people who write pieces along the lines of ‘What’s with the annual DFS adverts on TV? Why do people buy a new sofa every Christmas? I inherited mine!’ (That was an actual column.)

I have rented nine properties in my adult life and been evicted four times — and the older you get, the harder it is to bounce back.

Times are bad for Generation Rent — the poor 20 and 30-somethings who are unable to scrape together a deposit, or afford a mortgage.But to be in your 60s and to be renting, as I am, after a lifetime of hard work, is infinitely worse.

Why? Because, at 64, I am perilously close to retirement.

I did manage to get a mortgage offer before the current crisis but, even then, the rate I was offered was nearly 5 per cent and the maximum term I was allowed was 12 years.There is no hope of a partner on the horizon to split bills with.

I have sympathy for homeowners whose rates have just gone up, but renters aren’t immune, as there are no caps on what we pay. Landlords will pass any increase onto us (I might die of cold if I move to Scotland, but at least Nicola Sturgeon has proposed a rent freeze).

Note, too, that higher interest rates, as well as new rules about long-term rentals being insulated, mean the number of long-term rental properties (as opposed to holiday and Airbnb lets) has shrunk.

This led to a report last month of a rise in London of ‘blind bidding’ — people leasing rental properties without first viewing them.There are 49 per cent fewer new listings than in 2019, reports Hamptons estate agency, and the average rent in a newly-let home in Britain is up 6.9 per cent on September last year.

I owned my own home from 1983 until 2016. I’ve never not had a good job and I’ve never taken a day off sick.But in 2016 I lost my home — a Georgian mini mansion, with floor-to-ceiling windows and a lawn that swept down to a river.

I put in stone floors, salvaged from a derelict church, railings … I can’t go on, it’s too upsetting.

When I was made bankrupt in 2015, I was forced to put it on the market for £400,000 less than I paid for it.(A long story: there’s a memoir, if you’re interested.) Suffice to say, HMRC hate high-earning single females, as do builders, family, neighbours, insolvency lawyers.

As a bankrupt, my rental choices were limited. I found a small house nearby, just outside the market town of Richmond in North Yorkshire, for £1,700 a month.The search was made extra hard given the fact I (then) had four cats and three dogs. Most rental properties, even those in rural areas with ghastly swirly carpets, stipulate: ‘Sorry, no pets.’

In 2020, a white paper was drawn up to allow renters to keep dogs and cats, given that they are, after all, family members, and less likely than toddlers to scribble on walls, but it’s not yet on the statute books.

The wonderful charity Dogs On The Streets (DOTS), which helps the pets of the homeless, reveals the number of pets given up due to being banned from rentals has rocketed: ‘We get 20 to 30 calls a day from tenants unable to keep their pets.’

So I went with this house, but was told: ‘Sorry, it comes furnished.’ I had a lot of furniture.Conran sofas. A 1920s desk. An Eero Saarinen marble table. I was your typical used-to-live-in-Islington high-end cliché. So I begged and said: ‘Well, can’t you put your stuff in storage?’ I was also mindful of my muddy dogs, scratchy cats, but it was no.

The landlady turned up with little warning and an estate agent in tow – my home was up for sale 

So I put all my furniture in storage and gave my brand-new appliances — a Smeg range cooker, Miele dishwasher, washing machine and tumble dryer — to a friend.But storage proved so expensive that, EvDEN EVe nAkliyAt one by one, I had to sell everything on eBay.

Imagine my shock when the landlord, a year or so later, said they’d bought a holiday home in Devon and were coming for their furniture. (This is why people buy DFS sofas.)

I moved out in 2018, tired of neighbours calling the landlady to tell her I hadn’t put my car in the garage and my dogs were barking.

That same year, I rented a one-bedroom flat in North London at more than £3,000 a month — to save on hotel bills for work.

Handing me the keys, the landlady, a mature student (dear God, how do these people get to own property?), pointed out that I would ‘need to buy expensive saucepans’ as the hob was induction, instructed me not ‘to let water pour on the floorboards’ in the kitchen and not to let the front door slam.

Or wear jeans on the sofa as ‘they wear it out’.

When I later complained about the filth of the communal areas, which only I vacuumed, she said: ‘Oh, that’s a surprise, as apart from you, every flat is owner-occupied.’

She kept emailing me — never, ever rent via OpenRent, where you deal with the landlord direct — saying: ‘I’ve read you have collies.They are not in the flat, are they? No pets allowed.’ I kept assuring her they were safely in Yorkshire. She enlisted an upstairs neighbour to spy on me.

I was again evicted, for no reason, in 2019, having spent a fortune moving books, magazines, clothes and my desk 250 miles.(I know the names of the nice men at Watson Removals; I even know the birthdays of a couple of them.)

She said the flat was being sold but, a few weeks later, I saw it up for EVdEN EVE naKliyAt rent again on Rightmove at an escalated price.

She wanted to withhold some of my deposit as the cheap-looking fairy lights were no longer on the balcony.They broke!

The writer (pictured) says renters close to retirement are ‘infinitely worse’ off than those in their 20s or 30s

Then there was the place in Clerkenwell.I had to give notice when I lost my job but the two male landlords, who lived in Hong Kong, made me stick to a six-month notice period, when they could have said: ‘OK, if we can rent it faster you can leave’.

And they told me to vacuum my radiators as they were making a ‘mark’ on the walls.(Mad!)

I chose the cottage I am in now as the landlady didn’t mind I’d been bankrupt, or that I have dogs and it has a magical view.

When I moved in, it had no heating, laminate flooring and a fuse box that was 26 years old.The washing machine broke and there was no tumble dryer, though the lease bans putting up a washing line. The roof and windows still leak. Exiting the front door on a rainy day is like braving Niagara Falls (I have videos).

I know it was idiotic to spend tens of thousands of pounds of my own money on it, but I work from home and needed heating.The bathroom was mouldy and having a hot bath is my one luxury.

In all, I spent £59,000. I updated the heating with a new boiler and radiators upstairs and replaced the fusebox. I put in flagstones, I had the chimney swept, installed new blinds and shelving and I spent more than £12,000 on a beautiful Neptune kitchen.

I know.People warned me not to do it up, as I have no legal redress. But my home is so important to me: I get depressed in a dump.

And so here I am, terrified of being homeless, again. I went to look at another rental the other week. The woman opened the door and a huge Labrador emerged, when her ad had stipulated ‘only one small dog considered for an escalated rent’.

‘How many dogs do you have?’ she asked me, craning to look at the two (out of now four) who had come along for the ride.If you cherished this article and you simply would like to be given more info concerning evDEn eVe naKLiYAT i implore you to visit our own web page. Me: ‘Um.’

She showed me round and it was lovely. ‘It will come unfurnished.’ I was glad, but slightly galled that I’d also given away my £4,000 Vispring bed, purchased from Selfridges in sunnier days, as my current cottage is so small it wouldn’t fit through the door.

I couldn’t work out the layout of the house.’Ah,’ she said, unlocking the door to the loveliest room, dual aspect, with views of a river. ‘We will be locking our furniture in here. This is our forever home. We’ll be back in two years. Which is when you’ll have to move out.’

Aaaaargh!!!!!

Michael Irvin sues 'Jane Doe,' Marriott for $100M over 'false' claims https://www.announcement.news/michael-irvin-sues-jane-doe-marriott-for-100m-over-false-claims-32/ https://www.announcement.news/michael-irvin-sues-jane-doe-marriott-for-100m-over-false-claims-32/#respond Thu, 08 Jun 2023 01:02:41 +0000 https://www.announcement.news/?p=74913 Michael Irvin has filed a $100 million lawsuit against a female employee at a Renaissance Hotel in Arizona, who claimed the Cowboys legend made an inappropriate comment towards her this week, resulting in his dismissal from NFL Network’s ongoing LVII coverage.Renaissance Hotels’ parent company, Marriott, is also named in the lawsuit for allegedly scheming to make Irvin the next victim of ‘.’

Irvin’s alleged comment has not been revealed, EvDen eVE nAkliyaT and his accuser is listed as ‘Jane Doe’ in the filing, obtained by DailyMail.comThe NFL Network personality says he being ‘railroaded’ with false accusations that are threatening his broadcasting career.

‘After a friendly 45 second conversation with the employee in an open lobby that was witnessed by others, multiple witnesses have provided statements verifying Michael was a gentleman and behaved just like you see on television,’ reads a statement from McCathern, the Texas law firm representing Irvin. ‘He was being gracious with fans, taking pictures and speaking with anyone who wanted some of his time.’

Marriott spokespeople have not responded to DailyMail.com’s request for comment.

Michael Irvin has filed a $100 million lawsuit against a woman who claimed the Cowboys legend made an inappropriate comment towards her this week at an Arizona hotel, resulting in his dismissal from NFL Network’s ongoing Super Bowl LVII coverage

Renaissance Hotels’ parent company, Marriott, is also named in the lawsuit for allegedly scheming to make Irvin the next victim of ‘ cancel culture.’ The alleged incident is believed to have taken place at the Renaissance Hotel location in Glendale, Arizona (pictured)

After returning to his room following the brief exchange with the woman, Irving claims he was woken up by hotel staff, who removed him from the hotel without explanation. 

‘Plaintiff was judged guilty without even knowing the accusations,’ the lawsuit reads. ‘A few days later, Plaintiff was removed from his scheduled programming, and essentially ”kicked off the air” and ”cancelled” due to these allegations.’

In his lawsuit, Irving claims he has witnesses who can support his statement that he and Doe ‘casually exchanged pleasantries,’ adding that the 56-year-old ‘shook her hand, and went to his room alone.’

The filing also claims that the hotel refused to listen to eye-witness accounts of the interaction.

What’s more, the hotel manager is accused in reporting the incident to the NFL ‘with the intention of damaging that relationship and canceling [Irvin].’

‘Evidently, as Plaintiff was sleeping one of the managers of the Hotel reported false information to the NFL about the Plaintiff accusing him of improper behavior towards a hotel employee,’ the lawsuit reads. ‘The NFL responded by removing Plaintiff from all scheduled programming surrounding the Super Bowl. Plaintiff’s representatives have reached out to the hotel and even met in person to obtain clarity about this situation and provide witnesses and resolve this matter before Plaintiff’s reputation could be damaged any further—but to no avail.’

In his lawsuit, Irving claims he has witnesses who can support his statement that he and Doe ‘casually exchanged pleasantries,’ adding that the 56-year-old ‘shook her hand, and went to his room alone

Irving says he’s already had appearances canceled as a result of the accusations.

‘It is clear Michael is the latest victim of our cancel culture where all it takes is an accusation to ruin a person’s life,’ McCathern said in the firm’s statement. ‘Michael looks forward to clearing his name in court and hopes the Court of public opinion will see the truth come out as well.’

‘When I came into the hotel [on Sunday night], they asked what I did and I said, ”I just went straight to the room,”’ Irvin said, as quoted by

‘So they moved my hotel, and I said, ”What’s going on, guys? What’s happening? Why are we moving hotels?”

‘They said, ”Well, last night you walked in, you talked to somebody.” I said, ”I didn’t talk to anybody. I went straight to the room.”

‘And then they showed it on camera that I did talk to somebody. I talked to this girl for about a minute. I don’t know what — they didn’t show it to me. They told it to me. I didn’t see it. But that’s why they moved me, because I guess the girl said I said something to her within that minute that we talked, and so they moved me.’

‘That’s why I’m kind of hiding to wait and see how everything comes down,’ Irvin added. ‘It was a minute meeting somewhere in the lobby. I don’t even remember it really because I had a few drinks, to tell you the truth.’

Speaking with the , EvdEN eVE NaKliYAT Irvin said his only physical interaction with the woman was a brief handshake. 

Although no formal complaint was filed, the hotel did notify NFL Network about the alleged incident, leading to Irvin’s removal, DailyMail.com has learned.  

The 56-year-old Irvin gave his side of the story to Dallas radio station on Wednesday morning, EVdEN EvE NakLiyat saying he briefly spoke with a woman in his hotel lobby, but can’t remember what he said to prompt a complaint. 

‘Michael Irvin will not be part of the NFL Network’s Super Bowl LVII week coverage,’ NFL Network spokesman Alex Reithmiller told DailyMail. When you loved this informative article and you wish to receive details relating to EvDEn eVE NaKliYAT assure visit our own web site. com in a statement.

Irvin has faced other accusations in the past. 

In 1996, a Cowboys cheerleader claimed that Irvin and Dallas offensive lineman Erik Williams sexually assaulted her at gunpoint, eVDEN EVE nAkLiyAt but the accuser later pled guilty to perjury and filing a false police report.

That same year, Irvin was arrested with cocaine and exotic dancers at a hotel room, later pleading guilty to drug possession. He would be arrested for cocaine possession again in 2001, although those charges were ultimately dropped.

In a civil suit, Irvin was accused of sexual assault at a Florida casino in 2007.He filed a counterclaim and the two sides settled out of court.

Florida prosecutors declined to charge Irvin over accusations he drugged and sexually assaulted a 27-year-old woman in March of 2017 due to a lack of evidence.

Irvin told reporters in July of 2017 that he has lost ‘millions’ of dollars in endorsements and business deals as a result of the claims made against him.He also said he was ‘devastated’ by the allegations, partly because they were made by a young woman he considered to be a friend.

The woman claimed she was at a bar in Miami with Irvin when they decided to go to his room at the W Hotel in Fort Lauderdale.Shortly after arriving at the room, she claimed she began to feel sick and the last thing she remembered was trying to fight Irvin off, she told police at the time.

She told police she did not remember anything else until she woke up the next morning.After taking an Uber home about 7:30am, she called police to report the alleged drugging and rape.

Cody Gakpo joined Liverpool TOO EARLY, claims Holland's Ronald Koeman https://www.announcement.news/cody-gakpo-joined-liverpool-too-early-claims-hollands-ronald-koeman-25/ https://www.announcement.news/cody-gakpo-joined-liverpool-too-early-claims-hollands-ronald-koeman-25/#respond Wed, 07 Jun 2023 15:07:43 +0000 https://www.announcement.news/cody-gakpo-joined-liverpool-too-early-claims-hollands-ronald-koeman-25/

might have made the move to too early, new Holland boss has claimed.

The 23-year-old forward but is yet to score or make an assist in his first six appearances for Jurgen Klopp’s side.

His new national team coach said it was good to have young Dutch players moving to bigger leagues.

However, Koeman added that it could also be difficult for them and said the Dutchman is currently struggling to find his feet.

Koeman said the fact that Liverpool, who snatched the Dutch forward from under the noses of Manchester United, were underperforming did not benefit Gakpo’s game.

Cody Gakpo has struggled since making a £44million switch from PSV to Liverpool in January

Ronald Koeman said it was good to have young Dutch players moving to bigger leagues

‘You can see that, that he has ended up in a team that is not doing well.Then it becomes more difficult for him, EVDeN eVe nAKLiyaT as a new signing. You are tested right away,’ he said. 

‘And eVden EVE NAKLiYaT if you don’t score or you’re not important and you don’t win any matches, it’s very difficult, especially for a young player. 

‘If that’s was someone aged 28 with experience, it would be different.

‘The level in England is higher than in the Netherlands, but they are also young boys, aren’t they? Like (Ryan) Gravenberch going to Bayern (Munich) and not playing.Then that is difficult,’ he said on a YouTube show hosted by former footballer Andy van der Meyde.

Before joining Liverpool, EvdEN eve NaKLiyAT Gakpo had scored nine goals and made 12 assists in 14 matches for PSV in the Eredivisie this season. 

He also scored three goals for his national side during their World Cup campaign in Qatar.

Koeman, who began his second stint in charge on January 1, said he was keeping a keen eye on all Dutch exports as he considers his first selection for the Euro 2024 qualifiers.

The Netherlands take on France and Gibraltar in March.

Before joining Liverpool, Gakpo had scored nine goals and made 12 assists in 14 matches for PSV in the Eredivisie this season

After signing, Gakpo told the ‘I feel really good, eVDEN EVE NAKLiyAT I’m really excited to be here.If you have any questions relating to where and EVDeN EVE nAKLiyAt how you can utilize evDEn EvE nakliyaT, you can contact us at our own website. I’m looking forward to start training and start playing for this amazing club.

ALISON BOSHOFF: Adele's earns £2million for commuting to Las Vegas https://www.announcement.news/alison-boshoff-adeles-earns-2million-for-commuting-to-las-vegas-20/ https://www.announcement.news/alison-boshoff-adeles-earns-2million-for-commuting-to-las-vegas-20/#respond Tue, 06 Jun 2023 08:55:17 +0000 https://www.announcement.news/?p=74639 The stakes are high, as Adele and her team know only too well.Yesterday saw the first night of her now notoriously delayed four-month residency at Caesars Palace Colosseum in .

One down, 31 more potentially perilous performances to go.Now there is one overriding concern among her team: for the sake of Adele’s reputation, there can be not one single cancellation this time round.

Everyone is utterly focused on avoiding the pitfalls of the past, when Adele reached for evden EVe NaKliYAt a grand Vegas spectacle — only to crash embarrassingly to earth after deciding to cancel her planned shows in January less than 24 hours before she was due on stage, emotionally declaring ‘It just ain’t ready’.

Local Vegas journalist Scott Roeben — who broke the news of her residency back in 2021 — tells me Caesars Palace has been ‘working hard’ to make sure this tour is as drama-free as possible.

Everyone is utterly focused on avoiding the pitfalls of the past, when Adele reached for a grand Vegas spectacle — only to crash embarrassingly to earth after deciding to cancel her planned shows in January

‘What everyone is concerned about is that she really needs to not cancel one show because people fear another backlash would be very, very damaging.If you loved this information and you would such as to receive even more details pertaining to eVdEN EVe nakLiYaT kindly see the internet site. She already has a reputation as a diva. She cannot let the fans down again.’

Adele has long said she wants all her Vegas shows to be ‘intimate’ — the theatre at Caesars seats just 4,100 people, tiny for a woman who can fill stadiums — and hopes to natter away between songs and invite fans from the audience to join her on stage every night.Tickets are said to be selling for a staggering $38,000 a pop. Fans know how rare it is to see an idol this close up.

Some insiders believe the chance to see Adele live will be even rarer in the future: that this Vegas tour could well be her last.

Scott Roeben is one.He says: ‘The belief is this will be something of a swansong run. The gild is off the lily in terms of record sales, and Adele has said she wants to have a baby and do a college degree, her focus really is moving away from music. Her heart just isn’t in it.’

Adele has long said she wants all her Vegas shows to be ‘intimate’ — the theatre at Caesars seats just 4,100 people, tiny for a woman who can fill stadiums

For now, though, broody or not, Adele simply has to get through the residency.And that is no straightforward task: afflicted by stage fright, she is something of a tortured performer. Rehearsing, as she put it herself, for ‘12 hours a f***ing day’, she said last month when discussing her preparations: ‘I’m sick and tired of anything musical.’

Her remarks don’t quite reflect the enthusiastic tone you expect to hear from an artist.While she arguably had something to prove for past performances, like her world tour in 2016 — an experience she says she is ‘still getting over’ — that drive has abated.

It’s perhaps this emotion which was at the forefront on Thursday night as Adele tweeted of her extreme pre-show nerves, saying she felt a ‘million miles away from home.’

She went on: ‘Maybe it’s because I didn’t start when I was supposed to.Maybe it’s because it’s opening night, maybe it’s because Hyde Park went so great, maybe it’s because I love the show I don’t know. But it’s safe to say I’ve never been more nervous before a show in my career, but at the same time I wish today was tomorrow! I can’t wait to see you out there x.’

Yesterday saw the first night of her now notoriously delayed four-month residency at Caesars Palace Colosseum in Las Vegas

Offering her bolstering reassurance throughout is her loyal team — stylist Jamie Mizrahi, hair stylist Sami Knight and manicurist Michelle Humphrey.They will be with her every weekend, as will her boyfriend, the sports agent Rich Paul.

In the run-up to the show’s cancellation, insiders said the pair were constantly ‘in the middle of an emotional shout-out’ during rehearsals but their relationship is now stronger than ever and they have since moved in together.

Long-time managers Jonathan Dickens and Rose Moon will also be on hand.

And while Adele’s contract may tie her to four months of performing, it will undoubtedly be a feather-bedded prison.

When in town, she will stay in a £30,000 suite at Caesars Palace, with its own butler — which comes gratis for the performer as part of their agreement.

And while Adele’s contract may tie her to four months of performing, it will undoubtedly be a feather-bedded prison (Pictured: front of Caesars Palace, Las Vegas)

Some insiders believe the chance to see Adele live will be even rarer in the future: that this Vegas tour could well be her last

Between November and March she will spend just one night a week in the desert city in order to perform twice, flying to Vegas on a Friday to perform, sleep over, evdeN eVe nakLiyat and then make the short flight back to Los Angeles every Saturday after she comes off stage.

It is possibly the world’s most lucrative commute: she is earning nearly $1 million per show.

More than that, cannily, Adele has apparently struck a deal through which she receives a whopping 50 per cent cut of the merchandise.Expensive branded goods adorn the shelves of the Caesars Palace shop.

Here you can spend $110 on a ‘Rolling in the Deep’ sweatshirt, snap up socks with glasses of wine on them, buy necklaces which read ‘divorced’ and even get Adele-branded tissues.

What won’t be seen, however, are the giant onstage white floating staircase and notorious water feature — damned by Adele as a ‘baggy old pond’ — which were planned the first time around.

Indeed, for all her complaints about long rehearsals, it’s clear that behind the scenes, many hundreds of others have also long been working hard, collectively holding their breath in the hope that the new set would pass muster to please the mercurial Adele.

Adele has apparently struck a deal through which she receives a whopping 50 per cent cut of the merchandise

While back in January, the singer had fired set designer Esmeralda Devlin, a hugely respected professional, ‘in a panic’ after a ‘butting of heads’, things were calmer second time round.

Sources suggest Adele demanded constant changes in the run-up to the first opening night, and had never really been clear about what she wanted.In Devlin’s place is Londoner Kim Gavin, who warmed up for this gig with visits to Vegas over the summer, and took charge of her set at the Hyde Park concerts in July, where Adele performed in front of an understated curtain of gold and bronze discs which blew in the breeze and caught the lights.

Gavin has just completed the staging for a show featuring the world of Bond at the Royal Albert Hall — a fairly comparable venue in size as well as a comparable concert in tone.

Back in January, Adele pinned the blame for the cancelled show firmly on Covid, tearfully declaring: ‘Half my crew and team are [ill] with Covid and still are, and it’s been impossible to finish the show.’

Since then, however, she’s returned several times to the question of why she pulled the rug on a $150 million production — and it’s notable that the excuse of Covid has been ditched.

In July she told BBC Radio 4’s Desert Island Discs that the primary issues had been artistic.

And despite fans losing thousands of pounds in travel and hotel bills, for which Adele said she was ‘devastated’, she was also notably defiant.

‘I don’t think any other artist would have done what I did and that is why it was such a massive, massive story.It was like, “I don’t care. You can’t buy me, you can’t buy me for nothing. I’m not going to just do a show because I have to or because people are going to be let down or because we’re going to lose loads of money.” ‘

Scott Roeben, however, observes: ‘It was damaging to her because of who she was as a performer.

‘The expectation of her because of the music is of someone who is genuine and straightforward, and eVDEN Eve NAKliYaT this seemed not to be.

‘I believe she was upset, I don’t think she was pretending to be upset — but I do think that she was looking for a reason to explain the cancellation.

‘She didn’t want to look like a cry baby or temperamental artist so she picked on Covid — maybe ten per cent of the reason and made that into the reason.

‘The initial postponement was primarily an artistic decision coloured by her problems behind the scenes and problems with the creative team, and really not much to do with Covid.’

This time round, says Roeben of Casino.org: ‘It’s going to be an Adele show, but not a Vegas show.I think that last time they were trying to bring it up to a level with Katy Perry and Lady Gaga but that wall-to-wall spectacle never felt right for her.’

Now, though, comes her chance to wipe away those memories, and repair that reputational damage.

Adele has promised those who have bought tickets: ‘I’m going to give you the absolute best of me.’

But there’s a real possibility that it could be for the last time.

British man charged with hiding Russian megayacht from US sanctions https://www.announcement.news/british-man-charged-with-hiding-russian-megayacht-from-us-sanctions-19/ https://www.announcement.news/british-man-charged-with-hiding-russian-megayacht-from-us-sanctions-19/#respond Mon, 05 Jun 2023 20:47:01 +0000 https://www.announcement.news/?p=74548

Richard Masters, 52, was arrested on Friday on charges of violating US sanctions laws

A British citizen has been arrested in on US criminal charges alleging that he helped a billionaire Russian oligarch evade sanctions relating to his $90 million megayacht.

Richard Masters, 52, was arrested on Friday by the Spanish Guardia Civil and faces extradition to the US on charges that he tried to hide , the Tango, from authorities.

An unsealed indictment accuses Masters, who runs a yacht management company, of concocting a phony name, ‘the Fanta,’ for the Tango in order to hide the yacht’s connection to Vekselberg from financial institutions. When you beloved this short article along with you would like to receive more information relating to EVDen EVE naKliyaT i implore you to pay a visit to our internet site.  

Despite the alleged scheme, the Tango was seized by the last April in Palma de Mallorca, the capital of Spain’s Balearic Islands and a playground and tax haven for the ultra-rich. 

Masters faces extradition to the US on charges that he tried to hide sanctioned oligarch Viktor Vekselberg’s 255-foot luxury yacht, the Tango (above), from authorities

Also charged in connection with the alleged plot was Vladislav Osipov, 51, a Russian national with dual Swiss citizenship, who remains at large. 

Masters and Osipov are both charged with conspiracy to defraud the United States and to commit offenses against the United States, violating sanctions laws, and money laundering. 

Vekselberg is a billionaire and close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin who heads the Moscow-based Renova Group, a conglomerate encompassing metals, mining, tech and other assets.

Since 2018, Vekselberg’s assets in the US have been frozen, and US companies are forbidden from doing business with him and his entities, but fresh sanctions targeting his yacht were enacted following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine last year.

Masters is the founder and director of Master Yachts, a yacht management company in Palma de Mallorca.

The company’s website boasts that it is ‘renowned for its highly ethical, no-nonsense and pragmatic approach’ and committed to ‘transparency and integrity’.

However, US prosecutors allege that after Vekselberg was sanctioned in April 2018, EVden EVe naKLiyAT Masters’s company took over the management of Tango and conspired to evade US sanctions. 

According to the indictment, Masters cooked up the fake yacht name ‘the Fanta’

According to the indictment, Masters cooked up the fake name ‘the Fanta’ and used various workarounds to avoid sanctions, such as payments in other currencies and through third parties.

As a result, the trappings of Tango, including its satellite television, luxury goods, and teleconferencing software, were all US-origin products and services supplied by US companies, in violation of sanctions laws, prosecutors say.

‘Facilitators of sanctions evasion enable the oligarchs supporting Vladimir Putin’s regime to flout US law,’ said United States Attorney Matthew M.Graves. 

‘The United States will not allow its financial institutions and persons to be manipulated or defrauded for the purposes of benefitting those supporting an illegal war,’ he added.

In investigation was coordinated through a Justice Department task force known as KleptoCapture, aimed at enforcing sweeping sanctions against Russia’s oligarchs following the invasion of Ukraine. 

‘These men made their decisions, and now face the consequences of a failed attempt to profit through, rather than standing against, eVden eve NAkLiYaT a sophisticated, transnational criminal enterprise,’ said KleptoCapture Director Andrew Adams.  

The US is seeking Masters’ extradition from Spain. It was unclear whether he had an attorney to speak on his behalf. An arrest warrant against Osipov is outstanding.

Urgent tax office warning for Australia's influencers https://www.announcement.news/urgent-tax-office-warning-for-australias-influencers-22/ https://www.announcement.news/urgent-tax-office-warning-for-australias-influencers-22/#respond Mon, 05 Jun 2023 03:00:24 +0000 https://www.announcement.news/?p=74426 Australian influencers have been put on notice by the Australian Taxation Office as a crackdown on undeclared luxury gifts gets under way.

The ATO said it will use a sophisticated set of ‘data matching’ technologies to weed-out influencers who are failing to report sponsorships as part of their income which can include handouts and holidays.

A spokesman warned the technology will be used to see if Insta-famous celebrities are owning up to their ‘millionaire’ lifestyles.

‘If you are paid in-kind, such as with goods or other benefits – for example, being able to keep an item or outfit used in a post or being gifted something – you are subject to the same income tax and GST treatment as normal cash or credit payments,’ the ATO told the .

The Australian Taxation Office announced a new crackdown on luxury lifestyle influencer (pictured, Sydney-based influencer and eVDEN EvE nakliyAT jewellery designer Emma Pillemer)

Hundreds of Australia-based influencers share content with ‘gifted’ hashtags for posts they are paid for through gifted goods (pictured, left Jono Castano, right Chantelle Stanton)

All income generated by influencers – even those who use their platform as a hobby, not a business – is subject to tax under Australian law.

‘Gifts’ given by companies instead of cash in exchange for advertisements are also considered income.

However, gifts given by companies without the expectation of services – for example, PR packages – aren’t considered income.

Australian law requires creators on social media to claim when a post is sponsored, but glitzy events and luxurious gifts are often put in a ‘grey area’.

Hundreds of influencers around Australia – including big names Jade Tuncdoruk, Olivia Molly Rogers, Bec Judd, Jono Castano, Rozalia Russian, Chantelle Stanton, Lisa Danielle Smith and Lucas White Smith – share sponsored posts with ‘gifted’ hashtags.

Daily Mail Australia does not suggest any of the influencers named or pictured are not declaring gifts to the ATO or are otherwise evading tax. 

Sydney-based actor and evDeN eVE nAKliyAt influencer Suzan Mutesi (above) said it will be difficult for influencers to gauge the value of gifts they receive from companies

The Australia Taxation Office said it will be cracking down on influencers who don’t claim non-cash payments as income after sharing posts with the hashtag ‘gifted’

A high-profile accounting executive said the upcoming ‘game-changing’ policies will have many influencers rethinking whether ‘gifts’ are worth the extra tax.

‘It is well and good to walk around with a $5,000 handbag but if you can’t afford the tax, what is the point? If you have any queries relating to the place and how to use EVdEN eVE nakliyat, you can call us at our own website. It is a game-changer that will have influencers rethinking the situation,’ they said.

A celebrity agent agreed, adding ‘the gravy train is over for influencers’ who can’t afford to pay cash for expensive presents.

‘A crackdown will take a much-needed weed whacker to the infestations of wannabe Kardashians of late,’ the agent said.

However, Sydney-based actor and influencer Suzan Mutesi said it could be difficult for some influencers to determine the value of their gifts.

She said many non-cash payments given to influencers can be sample designs that were never intended to be sold, goods made specifically for them or invitations to exclusive holidays and events.

SECOND husband indicted for smuggling nuclear weapon tech to Russia https://www.announcement.news/second-husband-indicted-for-smuggling-nuclear-weapon-tech-to-russia-18/ https://www.announcement.news/second-husband-indicted-for-smuggling-nuclear-weapon-tech-to-russia-18/#respond Sun, 04 Jun 2023 11:51:42 +0000 https://www.announcement.news/?p=74324 A second key figure in the alleged plot to smuggle  technology from America to Russia has been revealed – and he is another suburban husband who was apparently living a double life. 

Vadim Yermolenko, 41 lives in a luxury $1m, four-bedroom, four-bathroom  home with his glamorous wife and their young children, DailyMail.com can disclose.

His identity can now be disclosed after it emerged that another accused member of the conspiracy, , runs an online craft store in with his wife.

Yarmolenko and Brayman, who were indicted Tuesday then released after posting bail, allegedly helped supply Russia with technology that can be used in nuclear and hypersonic weapons.The scheme was part of a sophisticated plot orchestrated by the country’s security services, prosecutors say.

The elaborate smuggling network, which spanned several continents, has been likened to the plot of a wild espionage drama.

Vadim Yermolenko lives with his wife Diana and their children in a $1m home in New Jersey.Prosecutors say he played a key role in a plot to smuggle millions of dollars worth of high-tech weapons components from the United States to Russia

Away from Yermolenko’s alleged role in the shadowy ‘Serniya Network,’ which is controlled by spymasters in Moscow, he maintains the image of a loving family man in a leafy middle-class suburb of million-dollar homes.

He lives with his wife, Diana, and their three young children in a desirable four-bedroom, four-bathroom home in Upper Saddle River, New Jersey.

Yermolenko, a U.S. citizen, and Brayman, an Israeli citizen born in Ukraine, are named in an indictment which was unsealed Tuesday when both appeared in court charged over the plot.

Yermolenko, represented by a federal defender, was released after posting $500,000 bail, using his family home as security.Brayman was also released on $150,000 bail and subject to electronic monitoring. Both men were told to surrender their passports.

Diana (left), who is not charged with any crime, regularly shares pictures of the family’s life on social media.Prosecutors allege that behind Vadim’s image as a successful businessman, he was part of an international plot to supply Russia with sanctioned technology that can be used in nuclear weapons

Yermolenko’s glamorous wife, Diana, regularly shares snaps of their holidays abroad, including to Russia, on social media, along with photos of her with her husband, who’s accused of smuggling sanctioned weapons equipment from the United States into Russia.

Yermolenko and his wife are both from Russia, according to their social media profiles.

Diana’s Facebook and Instagram posts paint them as a loving family who enjoy a jet-set lifestyle, holidaying in sun-soaked destinations across Europe and the U.S.The couple, who married in July 2011, also take frequent trips to St Petersburg.

Diana, from Mirny in Russia’s Sakha Republic, regularly posts proud photos of her family, including pictures of her eldest daughter figure skating.

Yermolenko’s profile says he is the founder of Divatek, a New Jersey-based company which sells cell phones and other electronic devices.

He says he studied at Dante Alighieri, in St Petersburg, an ‘international society founded to promote Italian language and culture throughout the world.’

But prosecutors allege, that behind the image of a family man and successful entrepreneur, Yermolenko helped the Serniya Network ‘acquire sensitive military and dual use technologies for the Russian military, defense sector and research institutions.’

Yermolenko’s family life in a pleasant American suburb can be revealed after it emerged his co-defendant, Alexey Brayman, pictured with his Russian wife, Daria, allegedly used his home in New Hampshire to ship the technology to Russia

With help from Yermolenko, Brayman allegedly received the equipment at his home in New Hampshire (pictured), before it was sent on to Europe and eventually into Russia

Vadim Yermolenko (left) and Alexey Brayman (right) were allegedly part of a plot led by security services in Moscow to smuggle millions of dollars worth of weapons technology into Russia

Dual use technology is equipment like semiconductors and other sophisticated instruments that can be used in both civilian and military products.If you have any type of questions relating to where and the best ways to utilize evDEN evE NakLiYat, you can call us at the web-page. It is key to maintaining , which has cost the lives of thousands of civilians – and massively depleted Moscow’s stocks of weaponry.

Yermolenko is accused of playing a key role in getting equipment worth millions of dollars to fellow family man Brayman, who then shipped it to Europe before it was smuggled into Russia.

Yermolenko deployed deceptive and fraudulent tactics to open shell companies and bank accounts in order to mask the reason for the purchases and destination of the products, it is claimed.

With Brayman, he would alter, forge, eVdEn EvE nAkliYAt and destroy shipping documents, invoices and other business records to unlawfully export items from the United States.

The men allegedly worked with Vadim Konoshchenok, an FSB agent who smuggled some of the items from Estonia into Russia

The indictment against Yermolenko says he even provided his wife’s signature ‘to use on IRS documents for company applications and applications to open U.S.Bank Accounts.’

Diana Yermolenko is not charged with any crimes.

The equipment that was trafficked in the conspiracy is sensitive and highly-regulated. The U.S. and eVDEn EVE nakliYAt other countries have imposed strict sanctions designed to prevent Russia from obtaining such ‘critical western technology.’

Yermolenko allegedly worked with a Russia-based defendant called Boris Livshits, a 52-year-old from St Petersburg.

Livshits took requests for sensitive items from the Serniya Network and then obtained them from U.S.businesses using front companies, forged paperwork and other deceptive tactics.

Those items were then trafficked out of the U.S. with help from Yermolenko and Brayman, authorities say.

On one occasion, Livshits ordered Yermolenko to ‘throw away the invoice’ for an order.Another email reveals he instructed Yermolenko to tell a bank that payments were for ‘bicycle spare parts, sporting goods and textile products.’

Brayman and eVdEN eVe nAKliyAT Yermolenko allegedly trafficked ‘advanced electronics and sophisticated testing equipment used in quantum computing, hypersonic and nuclear weapons’.Pictured: A Russian S-400 missile defense system drives in Red Square, central Moscow, on May 9, 2022

Prosecutors also revealed the vast web of the supply chain which carried the technology into Russia. Common intermediary countries included locations in Estonia, Finland, Germany and Hong Kong.

Brayman and Yermolenko allegedly delivered some of the items to Vadim Konoshchenok, 48, a Russian based in Estonia, who moved them across the border.

Konoshchenok describes himself in communications obtained by authorities as a Colonel in the FSB, Russia’s federal security service and the successor to the KGB, according to prosecutors.

As well as moving the technology, Konoshchenok ‘repeatedly’ attempted to smuggle tens of thousands of rounds of US-made ammunition across the Estonian border into Russia, including sniper rifle rounds and military grade .223 rounds.

Prosecutors say the seven defendants named in the indictment, which was unsealed yesterday, EVDEn evE naKliyat participated in ‘a transnational fraud, money laundering and sanctions evasion scheme controlled by a foreign power that is actively engaged in armed conflict’.
