    Football's Financial Shame documentary

    Anyone else watched it? About a load of Premier League footballers from the 90s who lost millions to dodgy financial advisors and are now facing bankruptcy as HMRC pursue them for unpaid tax bills incurred on their disastrous investments.

    Worth a watch - on the BBC iPlayer.

    if they just paid their fair share then they would not have lost anything. but no, earning film star money was not enough, they had to pay less tax than the pizza delivery guy.

    no sympathy at all

    if something is too good to be true, then it usually is.

    I haven't watched it but did read the BBC (puff piece) write-up but I don't remember them mentioning the tax aspects. Were they attracted by tax avoidance? If so, Feeds I agree with you.
