I personally think it's naive for a poster who's word holds much weight with the online community to Implicate city with any of this. As you are regarded as in the know and vouched for by several people this will be shared a lot further than bluemoon.I think you are being naive in the extreme. The UK tax authorities have little power of discovery when it comes to banks in the Emirates.
Much the same as Switzerland.
The Der Spiegel stuff was as a result of a hack of City's shit, internal email system.
You could have been paid £20m today by Sheikh Mansour set up in the Emirates and the footballing authorities and tax people would have no clue.
That money could be held for years or paid at a later date, even after his playing time.
It happens right across football at the highest levels. With regards the HMRC clampdown, this has been more regards image rights and personal service companies.
City pay their employer responsibilities and subsequent NIC, which is a completely separate issue to me saying a payment at a later date coming directly from our owner would not be on the radar.
*If such a scenario was ever in play.
And I enjoy your posts btw I always have, but I'd have kept this to myself.
