Police raid Newcastle and West Ham over transfer dealings

Agent Coulson

This could get very interesting.

SEVERAL ARRESTS HAVE been made for suspected tax and insurance fraud after Newcastle United and West Ham United were raided over their transfer dealings.
Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC) officers swooped on Newcastle’s St James’ Park and West Ham’s London Stadium as part of an operation across England and France this morning.
One of the men believed to have been arrested is Newcastle managing director Lee Chanley.
“HMRC has arrested several men working within the professional football industry for a suspected income tax and national insurance fraud,” a statement read.

I'm told around 50 HMRC officers raided West Ham's offices at the London Olympic stadium at 8am today. Club has had to hand over documents

Only if someone pleads guilty/admits fault. It's going to take some time for due process to play out otherwise and the football authorities simply cannot prejudge anything here.

Reports that shots were fired at the Olympic Stadium.
However, none were on target.....

Shamelessly stolen from a West Ham fan site.
