This was the reaction of the Football League to HMRC losing the latest challenge in court.

Says it all really. Self interest, weak leadership and the only real justification is that current insolvency law allows them to do it.
From where I sit there doesnt appear to be any effective policy in respect of insolvent clubs - simply because it might affect the number of teams in the league according to the article
I am not for lots of government legislation - but if it takes that to break this immoral and inequitable rule in football then so be it, they bring it upon themselves
How can they say they address the insolvency issues when they fail to deal with clubs like Pompey ! not to mention others like ourselves. Tie it all in with lack of correct Fit and Proper, then no transparency of ownership and those charged with the governance of Football do a pretty poor job. Their solution is to sweep it under the carpet and hope it goes away!
