Newcastle and West Ham raided

[Harryflashman]

seems worthy of its own thread , office's of both clubs raided and apparently the Newcastle MD arrested . Seems to be reports of an investigation into income tax fraud

This sounds too good to be true. If I Google this and it's a joke, I'll be very upset.

 

[Tubey]

Oh LOL!

I said relegate them both in the West Ham thread.

I've decided to upgrade this to, LIQUIDATE THEM BOTH.

My smile suggests it isn't

The literal, actual two clubs you've always known we're complete cockwombles, absolutely confirmed as such by this. Absolutely brilliant.

Do a Rangers on them. Start next season in League 2.

 

[kenada_blue]

Hahahahahaha

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Deary me

Anyone have an idea why this has happened?

Also, this could be the final nail in Ashley's attempts to oust King at Rangers

That or he'll now sell Newcastle, buy Rangers outright, and then rename Ibrox the "Sports Direct Super Dome"

Sounds like a massive operation. Surely a points deduction. Could it be wider than just these two clubs also. Time will tell I suppose.

No idea mate.

Couldn't happen to a better set of clubs.

Hope they get punished for financial irregularities and West ham have to sell players off in the summer to survive.

Please let it be David Sullivan. Please let it be David Sullivan. Please let it be David Sullivan. Please let it be David Sullivan.

I think they'll need to do more than sell players off. Their entire squad is worth about £50m.

Seriously, Antonio aside, do West Ham have any players of value?
