HMRC v. Welling United
Posted on August 19, 2010
Welling United of the Conference South are the latest club to attract the attentions of HMRC’s legal department. Due in court on 25th August, the winding-up petition is related to a debt of £85,000 (1). For once the ownership history of the club is very straight forward.

Round-up of Season 2011/12
Posted on September 8, 2012
The 2011/12 season has been characterised by long-running sagas. Normally I find myself in an annual review recounting a series of relatively self-contained accounts of the woes which have beset a number of clubs, but many of those listed below are far from resolved scenarios.

HMRC’s Christmas party
Posted on December 20, 2010

Jack Frost and the threat to club finances
Posted on December 9, 2010
Last Saturday’s football programme was considerably more than decimated (1, and then follow the ‘see also’ too), at least to a language purist.

Even though games will […]
