Top quality trolling Lowers. Makes some of the politico stirrers seem like YTS boys in comparison. |

Love it.
Went to a wedding when I lived in the midlands - some mates were big blues fans and the younger brother was marrying a girl who was a Villa fan.
The best man's speech was basically
"We would like to welcome Sarah into our family, even though she comes from a family of Villa fans. So all I can really say is "Sh1111t, on the Villa..."
That night, there were ongoing punch ups at the reception. No idea if the marriage lasted but it wouldn't help having two families who basically hated each other. |

Guess it could be handy if suffering insomnia if it's anything like his football. |

My only bone of contention was some of the comments painting hmrc as the bad guys. They werent and can hardly be expected not to collect taxes where someone has been fleeced and taxes are still due.
Change the law by all means, but I think it harsh to portray the taxman as the villan, it was the financial advisers.
And in terms of helping rhe guys out, surely todays wealthier clubs and players could help out? The clubs had a duty of care and many players simply followed and were led by their managers, who it was shown were on kick backs from the financial advisors.
Howard Wilkinson would no doubt claim his innocence but the reality is his commissions look dodgy as, albeit at the time he was probably as niave as the players. |

I read the preview in the paper and was lacking much empathy, thinking stupid/greedy footballers were taking advantage of tax breaks and got caught by the taxman...
But is nothing like that at all. Financial advisors were dodgy as and these guys were a bit over trusting, but that would always be the case with young men, too much money and people looking to fleece them.
Decent people let down and facing destitution. For nothing more than a bit of niavity. And I guess due to their previous high earnings and a feeling that footballers are overpaid, many will not be as sympathetic as they should be.
Very well made programme. |
