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!

This is not a battle between HMRC and Joe Public. Unlike Lineker, Rooney and presumably Windass snr, Joe Public would not have the money available to indulge in such 'investments'. It is interesting that you have chosen to put that word in quotation marks.

Are you aware of what Windass snr thought about Stanley?
