One Law for the Rich

Windsor and Eton football club was wound up yesterday. HM Revenue and Customs took the Zamaretto League club to the High Court over an unpaid tax bill reported to be £240,000.

Commenting on the news club president Barry Davies, the BBC commentator, said: "The FA doesn't seem to be too generous to the lesser clubs.

"Not enough money in football these days filters down. It's one law for the rich and another for the poor.

"There have been others at a very much higher level who've been bailed out in one fashion or another.

"It's a huge shame because a lot of unknown people will be suffering, people who've given their time for the club."

Davies's comments are particularily poignant after the recent transfer window which saw £50,000,000 paid for one player.
