RedRaw Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 So, the taxpayer practically paid for West Ham to move to the Olympic Stadium and all along they have been shafting HMRC......... Rangers were demoted several divisions for similar indiscretions, maybe West Ham should be punished similarly and be made to swap places with Leyton Orient!

WRERE Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 There was something mentioned about arrests or information from France too. They've both been involved with transfers to and from Marseille over the last few years , some of which have been sold by Marseille who've re-brought them a season or two later.

If (and it's obviously a big if ATM) they have committed any type of tax fraud whatsoever then they should have the book thrown at them and then the key thrown away as well.

The fact these clubs are led by Ashley, Sullivan & Gold says it all doesn't say anything to be honest, not until the facts are in public domain, There are plenty of Legal tax avoidance schemes, which is why loop holes are being closed, to be raided and people arrested must means they have proof, the thing is companies get raided by tax officals all the time, they don't stick in your mind because you haven't heard of them or they just aren't news worthy, Take this for example https://www.out-law.com/en/articles/2017/april/hmrc-pledges-further-targeted-activity-on-tax-evasion-following-raid-on-financial-firm/ Two high profile football clubs are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 What if both teams get relegated to the bottom tier, and all results against these 2 clubs are nul and void this season, wonder what will do to the table! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Rob Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 I don't imagine for one minute that if there is a case to answer it'll be resolved any time soon. Surely it'll be 18 months or more, and then resolved behind closed doors with some sort of payment made that we'll never get the details of.
