I think they care far more about not having another Bolton, where they obviously ignored all their previous rules to keep them in and avoid a far bigger financial black hole. They turned a blind eye to the financial doping at that basket case for ten years, and it only just didn't go off in their faces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the problem is the EFL/PL track record. The fact that several owners have turned out to be far from fit and proper might suggest that the tests are, shall we say, a little loose and need tightening up. Adding to the mix, the finances of football clubs in general have become more stretched and the lack of a voice for fans has, in a number of cases, grown considerably. Transparency is a big issue in all of this. One wonders how much evidence of financial strength - never mind character references - the Lemsagams were asked to provide to support the takeover and why such a cloak of secrecy has to attend these events.

Yes, but not many have actually had a history that would have disqualified them under any sort of objective test. After all, the main test of lunacy in relation to wanting to own a football club is the fact that you want to....own a football club! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're one short in the National League and the National League South as it is, so it's not impossible. Particularly if all football below that is deemed null and void this season. Would set an interesting precedent, though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristolatic Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Unless the conversation is along the lines of: "Look here, EFL, you screwed us over, but you looked after Notlob a lot better, so how about try to level things off a bit?"
