HMRC caved in : the cost of prosecuting the case by now in lawyers outwieghed the tax they would get by pursuing it.

Only rich overpaid cunts, put money into each others swiss bank accounts … full stop!

harry paid a million quid in tax in 2008 (read overpaid) and mandaric companys in theory 55 million (read his employees tax contribution will probably be lumped into that) but still evidence if any were needed that they do regardless of the swiss money … PAY LOTS OF TAX in one form or another.

Footballs slush pool of money is too large, people in the football industry are used to earning silly money, and this leads to placing large sums in strange places, the football economy needs to be scaled down to match gate revenues, fiscal prudency needs to be adhered too across the board. and the hyper inflationary cost of players controlled industry wide, because currently its like a pyramid selling scheme, whilst the base of football globally is expanding and becoming more popular, prices will continue out of control up the food chain, until that market base stops expanding and their is a limit to that, but no doubt the FA has set its sights on china, to keep everything rolling along.

whichever way theyve paid allot of tax, so most likely the HMRC didn’t like pushing them too hard for this amount, when they have in fact been paying lots of tax so it makes the HMRC look obsessive.

money paid into swiss bank accounts by non swiss people is almost always tax avoidance and tax havens is what they are.

basically that case regardless of the jury was effectively a stalemate because of financial cost on both side, the jurys verdict just made it easier to to agree to closing it.

no gift on that scale into a swiss bank account is an ordinary financial transaction – nor is it ever … not part, of some complex tally … of unspoken … off the books … favours.

The influx of Foreign Owners of clubs in this country, is often a dovetallied match of interests between people who have allot of money of dubious origin, that may need cleaning up and clubs who are desperate for financial investment regardless of where it comes from.
