The many multi-millionaire employees of Man U have already paid multi-millions of pounds in tax through PAYE.

Who still believes that it is morally wrong for individuals or collectives to minimise the levies on earned income so that centralised government gets less and they get more?

(Socialists apart.)

I think you will be surprised at the number of players who are residents of Monaco for tax avoidance.

You're a less cynical man than me.

I think they'll cut the sort of wee deal that was apparently so abhorrent for us.

But... But.. But... Sporting integrity and all that....

So all the money generated in footbal should go to the fat cats in suits then?

Serious question for those that say players are paid too much. Who should get the money?

Perhaps all business should be run like this, where those that actually do the hard work should get a fair share of the profits.

Raise taxes on sponsorship in sports. Companies who can invest billions in sport have too much money. The money swilling about in football is obscene.
It is the punter who is the provider of this money, by buying the sponsors' products anyway.

Up to 1/6th of the sponsorship money goes straight to HMRC from the clubs anyway.

Most of the sponsor money will end up being paid over to HMRC one way or another.
