They would get lots of other clubs (and businesses) paying what they owe. A high-profile club just cannot be allowed to continue trading, buying and selling players, taking money from the public, without paying over the VAT, PAYE, NI that the taxpayer is due.

That would make sense. A Company should not have special legal status unless it is trading legally and paying its taxes.

If I went to Cossack-land my assets would soon be frozen. Interesting point though, about assets that have been frozen by the Law. I would guess that it would depend on the reason for them being frozen in the first place and a Court could conceivably order their release to settle outstanding debts. Any expert views out there?

Who paid the bill?

I was told that there were two types of people. Some of them have an extra gene that makes broccoli (and sprouts) taste bitter, whilst those people who are deficient in this gene think that it tastes nice.

Nice pictures, but I can't see my house! :confused:

Nothing worse than broccoli, IMHO.

Thanks, St. Landrew. I've just got back and it's great to see the goals.

Bugger. I pick a couple of weeks to go on holiday and I miss 10 home goals.

'Company' Voluntary Arrangement' I believe. http://www.businessrecoveryadvice.co.uk/html/ltd_company_recovery/cva.asp

Who's complaining? (Not me)

...or maybe air tickets?

Just a simple question.... if the SOA is an independent report, why does it have to be submitted to the board of directors? Can they change any of it, or is it just for their information?

Because the minimum rental period is one month?

Don't do anything to mentally arduous late at night. Try a bit of reading. I sometimes have the same problem but I never get up. Usually it's because I'm cold but the big boss insists on having a cold bedroom so I use her as a hot-water bottle.

I was hoping to forget that. Now you've dragged it up again.

Antagonistic?

I should have thought that any parachute payments, if still legally due to a company that no longer existed, would have gone to offset the debts of that company when it was wound up. There is no way that they could go to a new company.

Absolutely. Grab him quickly.

Now you started it. Nobody will believe him when he denies it, the rumour will escalate and he'll have to fund it or lose his reputation.

Thanks, I was looking for that. Interestingly the area under the pitch is untouched, presumably to save time and money and because it can always be dug up later, if necessary.

Just looking on Wikipedia and it mentions that the stadium could be extended for rugby, and paid for the pool stages of the rugby world cup, and paid for by the IRB. It's the first I've heard http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Mary%27s_Stadium

There was an archaeological survey and yes, I believe that graves were found.

But paid for with money stolen from the British taxpayer.
