Thousands of active UK companies may have fraudulent directors. Anyone can form a company in the UK. Companies need one natural person as a director who can be non-UK resident. Too many small companies are fronts for crimes I have long called for companies to have one UK resident director.

Morning. There’s only one place to begin this morning and that’s the Premier League releasing a statement on the Man City charges. It dropped late yesterday afternoon, and suffice to say it’s a bombshell.

www.premierleague.com/en/news/4727... This is incredible. £900m. Almost a billion that we know about, between 2010 and 2018 (if it stopped right there). The scale of it is enormous.

Premier League Statement: Manchester City FC
An independent Commission has found Manchester City FC guilty of all charges related to serious breaches of the Premier League’s financial rules over a nine-season period, and the majority of charges in relation to its failure to co-operate with the League’s investigation.

All of this is true, but it also extends to this season. City, told they’d been found guilty, chucked another £450m into their squad; we had to sell Martinelli to generate income. We are trying to retain a title against the biggest cheats in history with a less-deep squad because we didn’t cheat.

Well, well, well - if it isn’t the consequences of our own actions. It would appear that migrants are not, in fact, the fiscal drain we’ve been told they are by years if we go by the £4bn to £6.5bn shortfall that’s been caused by the precipitous drop in numbers under this government. Funny that.

The whole point of VAR is to correct mistakes, but they're saying unanimously that even though it was wrong, it shouldn't have warranted a review. This is why people get angry and don't trust the system or ProRef because the way they interpret things doesn't make sense.
