Ah yes and before that Everton's Trebilcock and going further back our own Terry Alcock, better known as a Norwich City hero.@boltonbonce wrote:Sunderland used to have Swiss player called Bernt Haas. His nickname was Vindaloo.
I take notice of anyone who's an expert in their field. Iles doesn't come into that category with regard to financial affairs. It's an intricate subject.@Ten Bobsworth wrote:More depressing than any number of burst ping pong balls are folk who hang on the words of Marc Iles on football finance and think he makes sense.
Please tell me you aren't one of them, Boncey.

That's never happened to me, Boncey, but I am aware that there are environments were accountants are under pressure to please their bosses or find somewhere else to work. Although there have been some well-publicised scandals in big business, the most blatant examples I have personally come across have been in the public sector, with no publicity.@boltonbonce wrote:I take notice of anyone who's an expert in their field.

However, I wouldn't trust an accountant as far as I could throw him.
Boss. 'How are the books looking?'
Accountant. 'How do you want them to look?'

All about how Ray Parlour got away with paying 20% income tax on annual gross earnings of £1.55m
This is a Limerick written by an accountant.@Ten Bobsworth wrote:20% income tax sounds like extortion compared to our Forest Green Friend, Bonsey.

I was once mentioned in a book by Professor Dr Hans-Ulrich Wittchen, but it's not something I like to talk about.@Ten Bobsworth wrote:Very interesting, Boncey, but not quite as interesting imo as how some stupid and some intelligent folk are easily fooled into believing the most crass things.
The first book I got a mention in was written by an Emeritus Professor of History at one of the UK's top universities. It was complimentary but the relevant chapter was almost total garbage from start to finish.

I'm sorry, Boncey, but I think you are fibbing. If you can stomach Dale Vince and one of his pies you may have some mental incapacity but not an eating disorder.@boltonbonce wrote:All of them.
If all you say about Mr Vince is true, I'm pretty certain that Ken has posters of him all over his bedroom. He must stand in awe before him.@Ten Bobsworth wrote:I'm sorry, Boncey, but I think you are fibbing.
