CAS judgement: UEFA ban overturned, City exonerated (report out p603)

[Asa's left peg]

Imagine my surprise, having skip read the article, not to spot our name!
And Newcastle hiring a 'team' of lawyers to get off said charges, just like some other team did at CAS.
Sister clubs my arse.
An article dripping with innuendo.

yup. Also the headline doesn't highlight " while some 31 clubs and 91 agents are also being probed, "

16 players that have had dealings with their sister clubs out of 329 players which is virtually three quarters of the premier league. Wonder why only 16 are highlighted

329 footballers 'are under investigation for suspected tax avoidance'

Premier League stars are among the 329 players being investigated, while some 31 clubs and 91 agents are also being probed. The number has dramatically risen from 93 in the previous term.

Sister clubs , hmmmm

If it's us it's rank stupidity - though I suspect it is Watford who were actually relegated last season but their owners have a history of dodginess.

This report talks about ”tax avoidance “.. I’m no tax expert but I think tax avoidance is legal… it is not illegal to exploit a loophole in a law/ rule,.. it is up the the authority to ensure there are no loopholes that can be exploited
Tax avoidance may not be morally just, but that is different from being illegal.
Im into a spot of tax avoidance myself. I have an ISSA.

The fact that the Daily Mail pontificate about tax avoidance…. Their proprietor has been using the ‘non dom’ tax avoidance for decades.

Tax avoidance is legal
Tax evasion is illegal

The Rags pay virtually no tax in the UK and have not done for decades. They also invest virtually nothing in the local community. It is legal but not very ethical and they never get called out for it.

This - if it is us, it's mind-boggling stupidity.

This - if it is us, it's mind-boggling stupidity.

I prefer to put it this way. It isn't us, because it would be mind-bogglingly stupid for a club so under scrutiny to be doing this, and our management team aren't mind-bogglingly stupid.
