Well as always, let us see what the facts are first before we jump to conclusions.
(Yes it was on twitter)

Seems, on first glance, your hero has been less than truthful again.

I bet you loved electronic digests back in the day
The main thrust of your argument was correct. ED decided, more likely for health reasons, to distance himself from the anxiety and stress of being an active director of BWFC but I expect he would still have been consulted by Garty on the big issues.Sluffy wrote:Ten Bobsworth wrote:I know you didn't mean it in the pejorative way that others used it, Sluffy, but Eddie Davies was the very antithesis of a tax exile. He wasn't resident in the UK, he wasn't ordinarily resident in the UK and he wasn't domiciled in the UK and he exposed his wealth to the highest possible rates of UK taxation by subsidising the wages of footballers and managers in the English Premier League and Championship.
Forgive me if I've got the wrong end of the stick about this but I was under the impression that Eddie lived on the Iles of Man because of the advantageous tax rules on the island (Same reason people like Nigel Mansell did also).
My understanding was that the IoM tax rules was that to qualify for the reduced tax regime he had to physically reside on the island for half a year and subsequently is limited to the period of time he can be away from the island by such as being in England.
As we know Mr Davies had more strings to his bow than just BWFC (the V and A, Kew Gardens, Bolton Museum, Manchester Business School, etc, etc.), his time would have been incredibly limited to micro-manage the club himself and thus he put his trust and belief in Gartside and most of the decisions day to day, that he took. He clearly did have the final word - for instance when (incredibly as it seems now - and certainly to me at the time!) he was in the process of extending Coyle's contract.
Thankfully Eddie told him to sack him instead!
Maybe I did use the term 'tax exile' in the wrong sense but as I've explained above I was under the belief that his residence on the IoM was based upon a personal tax advantage.
No disrespect to him/his memory at all intended.

Do you have a reason for thinking it 'unlikely in the extreme'?T.R.O.Y wrote:Ten Bobsworth wrote:Could it be that Gordon Taylor's authority to spend PFA money is coming under closer scrutiny?
Unlikely in the extreme this would be the reason they pulled out.
Still holding out for Sluffy’s Iles conspiracy to be honest.
However, Gordon Taylor played for us for the best part of his career with a better strike rate than most strikers we've had in recent times (fat bloke on the wing) so there might be questions of bias.T.R.O.Y wrote:Ten Bobsworth wrote:Could it be that Gordon Taylor's authority to spend PFA money is coming under closer scrutiny?
