Absolutely, they haven't won a high profile tax or fraud case, or a low one for that matter, since the old king was on the throne.
The defendants use top end Silks, HMRC have the dregs to back up their half arse investigations, there was more chance of you lot getting a point off the Turks this season.
The law of the land was written to ensure the rich get richer, the difference between tax avoidance and evasion is such a grey area anyone with the balls and a few quid will always get away with it.
Forget trying to catch the big boys, just change the law to make all companies, football clubs included, pay their income tax and NIC up front and you would save save more than convicting a thousand Harrys.
FFS, the guys running the student loan company and Northern Rock pulled dodgy stunts to evade tax and they work for the frigging Government.
