Pheeweee - VAT was a close call

[James]

Wouldn't be a very good test case if the clubs admitted that the majority of them had books that were a lot worse than ours, the tax man would just go after the clubs with dodgy accounts, wouldn't they?

 

Arsenal were next on their list. Tax men always go for the people that are going to provide them with the most money.

 

Hang about, you just said that NUFC were chosen by the Premier League to be the test case, not that they were targeted by the taxman, which is it? 

 

Premier League chosen, although the taxmen were after us and others, and were happy to have us as a test case to a) save legal fees by only taking one club to court and b) because we were one of the most lucrative.
