You'd hope so, but remember the VW Badge we had? Kit was released without it to start with, then there was a batch where it came off in the wash!

Hasn't something like that happened at Sunderland this season where they've had to put a new sponsor logo over the original intended one? Can't remember/not really interested why...

cbirks Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 It's not good news. It means our club is now participating in the world of offshore international finance. Our money that we pay into the club is now being siphoned abroad, never returning in taxation that will benefit our society. It's part of the exact same legislation-dodging world that the superrich have been indulging in, the exact same processes that Cameron, Yanokuvic, Putin, Trump, everyone have used to plunder their countries. Welcome to klepocracy. Those that think it'll benefit our club are short-sighted. This is the short of stuff that keeps the poor poor and rich ever, ever richer, the stuff that means most of London is technically foreign territory. I would LOVE to be proved wrong. But I'm also 100% not. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't even generate enough money inturn over to pay the players wage bill. There certainly won't be anything going back to the owner. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is unfortunately a very well documented thing that we're very much fighting a losing battle to contain. The telltale signs are in this Sheffield 2, 3, 4 & 5 business. One owns the other, which is in turn director of the first which is joint owned by the next two and around and around. It's a process my which individuals take advatage of the legal status of a limited liability company. At best, it is a way of hiding income and avoiding taxation - something I reiterate that we DO NOT WANT, expecially with our individual hard earned cash going into it, and especially with the EFL making its own rules to combat this sort of thing; what's legal may not be ok in football. At worst, its a way to hide true ownership and thus a way to embezzle money for individuals, as money is moved into one of these companies (as even The Star says seemingly offshore companies) where is passed to individuals. Call me every name under the sun but I'm not wrong in this. This is what the Panama Papers was all about. It must be said I don't think DC is going for option 2, but nonetheless we should be very disappointed that our club has gone this way, particularly if we don't even own our own ground. What we're hoping for in all of this is for DC to be benevolent, to be doing this with genuinely the clubs interests at heart, with some sort of magnanimous plan to hand it all back to us if/when he's out.

We were owned by a foreign registered company under Mandaric. Can't remember you complaining about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I'd better pipe down, then, if I don't have the same insights as I did nearly a decade ago. Incidentally, though, this is exactly why Mandaric didn't sell to Mammadov, as he and most of the Azerbaijan super rich are knee-deep in this stuff.

mike84 Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Barring VAT what tax liabilities are we trying to avoid using this scheme as a loss making company? What money do you think is going to be taken out of the club considering without the owner consistently covering losses we'd be up poo creek. I'm no financial expert so it's a genuine question.
