    Massive police raid investigating transfer 'irregularities'. Newcastle managing director arrested. Just in time to celebrate promotion. I wonder if they'll arrest slapper Brady...

    Apparently it involves French police, Newcastle had a production line from there for years...

    Newcastle, West Ham in the poo?
    Now who would have thought?
    Ashley and the Porn Brothers, what a threesome.
    Surely they must be totally innocent?
    Wow!

    So if you have nowt to do...wander over to the NUFC board and feel the pain. They are ****ting bricks, and I do not blame them (as so put so succintly 48hrs of bliss, and now in pits of dispair) .....It is to do with two transfers with Marseille. (WHU is to do with Payet )...The fans are believing Rafa will walk and that they are looking at a hefty fine and a probable loss of 12-20 points next season. (they think this year will stand, as it is all happening too close to the end of a season...for the FA to sort out, not quite sure about that myself)

    They are fearful that a points deduction will make next season irrelevant....and relegation to championship the year after will kill them for a long long time)

    Reminds me of a similar situation we were once in.....

    .......it's more than possible that we were unable to spot a simple tax dodge, so may not be too bad.....

    Re our possible involvment.....So from the newcastle board....Update from Windy Mag:

    The transfers of Cabella, Thauvin and Ben Arfa - NUFC to and from Marseilles are central to the investigation.
    Transfer of Payet and Roman Amalfitano - West Ham to and from Marseilles
    Transfer of Batshuayi to Chelsea from Marseilles.

    Common denominator? Olympique Marseilles.



    So we are in the safe...because we never dealt with OM...Oh F@@@ we did...what was the name of the player.......oh I remember JOEY BARTON...

    (but it was a loan, so I hope that that has a different agent etc)

    Windy Mag has updated again
    Update 2

    We have been implicated in a much larger and far more sinister operation. Basically, the Corsican and Marseilles underworld have been involved with senior officials at Olympique Marseilles. As a direct result of our dealings with Marseilles - Ben Arfa, Cabella and Thauvin, we have been implicated and are being investigated by both French authorities and the HMRC. It is the French authorities that alerted HMRC.


    Getting more mysterious by the minute

    OM lost a League title, got relegated and were banned from the Champions League 20 years plus ago due to corruption. Some people never learn.

    I'm sorry to say it Beth but we bought both Loic Remy and Stephane Mbia from Marseille.

    It's reported that a number of the deals were facilitated by Simon Stainrod who was stripped of his agent's licence in 2012. They are looking at deals from 2012 which means Remy and M'bia fall into that timespan...
