Today my own government department
Was in the news in a football context
Yes, HMRC went to court, and went
To get all 7 million pounds of debt
To the taxman that we’d tried to collect
From Portsmouth Football Club over the years
Perhaps it’s time these clubs behaved: the next
In court is Cardiff City, its arrears
Being 2 million; then, Southend. The fees
And crazy wages paid finally meant
The bubbles are bursting, finances wrecked
At last, football’s credit crunch has appeared
It’s business, there’s no room for sentiment
Profit’s the name of the game, not success
