His numerous other donations to various schemes and assosiations based in the district says otherwise. You could say "he's our Jack Fulton"

Again thank you Uncle Roders!

In what respect would you not trust him? On a personal level? Have you had business dealings with him? Or based on the fact he's just given Trinity £160,000 and it's put your nose out of joint?

I'd go with the last one!

I don't know about anyone else but I feel this post lost credibility with the first two words.
The use of the word 'Rat' is interesting in the fact it sounds very similar to a word which IMHO describes you perfectly.

This helping hand for Trinity maybe more to do with Soccer than Rugby
Some people think I am a schizophrenic, but they don't really know us.

I would be surprised if you were being used as a "test" case as they have been doing this successfully to football clubs for the last few years. Arsenal were hit with a massive bill. It was one of Gordon Browns policies when he was chancellor.
Apparently some of the clubs saw it coming and did not make these offshore payments or exemptions but most did and will probably be the next to fall under the investigation of HMRC. I understand 2 big clubs should be very very worried about this and look to be facing a potentially massive bill. One of these clubs has a backer who will no doubt foot the bill with ease but the other may very well struggle.
