It appears that they’ve been Coxalled. It looks to me like they’ve been asset stripped and put into admin.

Proper person test fails again.

Tip of the iceberg...............more to follow.
If we survive we will end up in the Championship without kicking a ball.

I really don't get why the Football League/FA are not held accountable. It is fairly obvious this fit and proper test is shit. It's just negligent.

Many years ago I wrote t the FA asking how the then owner of Barnet Stan Flashman a notorious ticket tout could pass the test as a suitable club owner. The reply was astounding that it was none of their business how he earned his money despite him openly selling tickets at inflated prices for games under their jurisdiction .

The EFL chairman has been secretly filmed saying the owner has had a bet on them to be relegated. This is not a piss take, the video is genuine. The owner by all accounts is a poker player so the idea of him having a bet isn’t beyond the realms of possibility.

Just half heard something on tv, someone important is asking the administration be cancelled/postponed and a full investigation into what happened launched, and action taken. Only snippets I heard on tv. Not much info I know. There is no way this situation should have been allowed to unfold.

thats till the next one happens. we support a game that seems to have more than its fair share of corruption in it. too much money floating about to keep the sharks away. i know the younger fans will say here we go again, but has the game improved over the last 60 odd years. back in the 50,s when i first attended and for years after i had no clue who owned pools or cared for that matter.
