Fits this h,uns all aboot??

If a player wanted to have a gross weekly rate of £25k, then it would mean the club had to pay out more than that to him per week to meet tax obligations. The club reducing the tax obligations in turn saved themselves paying as much over and above the gross rate.

There's obviously a financial advantage to doing it or there'd be no point. No sh!t Sherlock.

The lack of an unfair sporting advantage for me has always been down to whether the schemes were legally operated and within the rules of the game - assuming BDO win the final appeal, the answer to both questions becomes "yes".

Bottom line is it can't be an unfair advantage if every other club could have done the same thing had they chosen to IMHO. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
