Re: Windass Bankrupt

Gentlemen,
There are always two sides to every story. Can I suggest before anyone starts throwing stones, they read the article from the Hull Daily Mail, which throws some light on the background to this media headline. This is about a business investment which was quite legal at the time, but has since been outlawed by our friends at HMRC. Other major football celebrities such as Gary Lineker and Wayne Rooney were also involved in similar business 'investments'.
There have been several occasions over the past few years when our beloved club itself teetered on the verge of bankruptcy, so perhaps we should all remember the old adage about 'people who live in glass houses'.
When it comes to a battle between HMRC and Joe Public, I know who's side I'm on!
