    Then they shouldn’t be too surprised to find out that they’re either not quite was wealthy as they thought they were, or for some reason they can’t understand the taxman is after them. Or both!

    Totally agree. Seems to happen more than you'd expect though.

    Why not both. He's such a vain / image conscious individual, a spell of "slopping out" with a few photographs leaked would destroy his ego and if he owes the tax money take that as well?

    The part they didn’t quote is right after he said this, he looked straight at the camera and said “so sit there and burn and rage ladies.”

    Star Trek is American.

    Neither. Nearly all of the time their legal reps will say :

    Do you want me to setup your financial affairs so you pay
    the minimum tax possible ??

    And their answer will be "yes" and not "how will you do it ??"
    (assuming they had the intelligence to understand the latter) .

    Someone like me, who :

    - understands the basic tax mechs and has had to deal with the
    taxman

    - but doesn't have the funds to benefit from these 'exotic'
    arrangements

    if we come into a lot of money and want to optimise our
    after-tax returns, we will ask the "how will you do it ??"
    question.

    That’s not enough imo. If he has evaded paying €14m then he pays that and then a further €28m in fines and interest - and withhold his assets till he pays in full

    Thanks for the clarification.

    Another mystery resolved.

    You’re probably right. But we agree on the basic premise.

    How do scousers (the red ones) generally feel about the fact that not only did Fergie obliterate their league title record whilst laughing the whole way, but he also guided this boy and shaped him into possibly and probably the greatest footballer of all time?

    Even reading that must make some of you want to set fire to your own face just to stop the pain.

    Stay away from the lighter fluid youth. Time will help you deal with the hurt Fergie has inflicted on your once-great club, I'm sure of it.

    Talking of once great clubs... He's inflicted enough damage on his own club by leaving. <laugh>
