Well, profits for 2010 were approx £77k, 2009 about £100k, in 2008 it was close to £200k (mainly on the back of a trip to Wembley). Admittedly this is off the top of my head, as if you were that bothered, you couldhave looked them up yourself.

The additional tax liability created through the closing of the EBT loophole is tax payable on wages and salaries. As is the case for any revenue expense of that nature (staff costs) it is tax allowable for corporation tax. That being said, as Hull have large accumulated losses, I doubt there is a Corporation tax liability to pay.

Hope that helps

Pay off Mason?

Nah,they got enough money off their supporters paying to watch him train for that.

(Wonder how much they lost on all those Mason shirts?)

He cost em a fair few quid that is for sure.

The gates never moved an inch

And remember how he demanded his money upfront while in Aus before he got on a plane? Must have seen Rovers credit rating.

Yet still less per game than Sean Long took your lot for!

Proof?

Nah! that was nothing compared to what Gleeson got out of us

We didn't big him up as the biggest signing in the SL era and the sport's David Beckham, only to scoop multiple awards for 2011 embarrassment/farce of the RL year, though. Still, it did earn Rovers a feature in the Lego season summary.

Don't expect me to defend the Mason debacle! It was more fun the 6 months waiting for him than the 6 games watching him!

I don't recall him scoring any gear for a team mate in his time though.

by "gear" you mean diet pills?

I am sure other members of both our squads in recent years have done worse, a LOT worse.
