Raheem Sterling agrees to Greek bailout

http://newsthump.com/2015/07/13/raheem-sterling-agrees-to-greek-bailout/

Judas striker Raheem Sterling will donate a fraction of his salary to prevent a Grexit, according to reports.

The player, whose name just happens to coincide with that of a popular currency, agreed the initial terms of a bailout in late night talks with Angela Merkel and Alexis Tsipras.

Hopes of a deal were fading fast when a noticeably-tired Sterling remarked that the sum of money owed by Greece was less than what he keeps in his current account.

Money from Sterling’s first pay Man City pay packet is expected to arrive at Greek cashpoints around lunchtime today, after the finance-savvy wunderkind used a currency broker to ensure a favourable rate of exchange.
