Hull City were audited by Jacksons of Hull up to 2021-2022 they are not very well known From then they have been audited by an unknown firm of accountants in Walsall https://bkplus.co.uk/ Very strange
What also seems to be forgotten is we came down with much heftier parachute payments than anyone previously also, so a huge competitive advantage. Yet we spunked it on the likes of Kevin Stewart and failed to even mount a playoff push.
I’ve worked for two companies where costs have been the prime focus , one guy was a chartered accountant and owner , the other wasn’t but neither focused on pouring it in at the top so they could benefit from the bottom line - one company shut a year or so after I left due to lack of positive out look and efforts . The other dumped me in the last recession for their personal reasons and they shrunk and went through staff like a dose of salts , they are a much smaller limited enterprise now - they survive on most of the services I got them to provide . You need people with ideas and bravery - but granted considerable business sense .

I give them some credit for elevating the academy to cat 2 but let's not get carried away - they failed to leave the infrastructure that we should have had from 3 golden opportunities (2 under them).
I know,they shouldn't be getting brought up at all really. I've worded that a bit hastily and was out of order if I'm being honest with myself.I apologise
Wasn't the step up from cat 3 to cat 2 academy status a relatively small and low cost one. Much bigger investment needed to get to cat one.
Good to see you again on here, but maybe this is not the best thread to come back to, everyone is falling out and it's not much more than petty squabbling.
At times I think I’m quite bright - then along comes OLM usually with FACTS and I’m put in my place and have to read up a bit more . LOL It’s not a pop OLM - just trying to brighten the mood and you can tell I’m stuck in a hotel with nowt to do !
You’re bang on with this one, Corporation Tax in Ireland is only 12.5% and lots of international companies base their EU operations there. I’ve never actually been to Dublin, I need to sort a trip there at some point.
