Then the clubs don't make provision for PAYE payments. To my mind, this is worse than Google that legally and legitimately rearranges its affairs to pay minimal tax. Views folks? | | | |

I don't mean administration, rather the club actually ceased to exist or had to reconfigure itself at a much lower league level. [Post edited 1 Jan 1970 1:00]

Not winding you up .. on 19:20 - May 23 with 981 views | Daniel | Good point. It seems that league clubs only tend to fold when they drop out of the league nowadays. Recent examples being Halifax, Darlington, Chester and Scarborough. Back to the original question - the following link has the answer, and like the above, most clubs have folded after dropping out of the league. http://footballmanagement.wordpress.com/2010/01/12/the-last-league-club-to-fold/ | | | |
