We were just challenging the heavy-handedness of it? The investigation could not happen as they could not examine the documents they seized. The fact that we have tried to stop them having access does not bode well in my opinion, if there was nothing to hide why launch the challenge.

Guest Hog Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 And if we got a 10pt deduction from the league, increasing chance of relegation all the more then any potential buyer might well be considerably put off. It may come to nothing but it seems a bit fishy as to why the club would try to block the investigation... it'd be the typical toxic outcome from the current regime.

Benwell Lad Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Wasn't Newcastle's case that they thought HMRC had been particularly heavy handed in their approach to this, which anecdotal stuff I've heard would certainly bear out, and not really to do with the enquiry itself which is a bit flimsy anyway ?

Figures 1-0 Football Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 We have a right to appeal, therefore they still cant view the documents until that has been decided. This will be a very elongated process and I wouldn’t be surprised if it was still dragging along in 12 months. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benwell Lad Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Have West Ham challenged it too? I’ve heard nothing about their involvement and their offices were searched too. I've heard, pretty credibly, that Newcastle weren't so concerned about the investigation itself but the extremely heavy handed, almost SWAT like, manner in which it was carried out.
