be a few brown envelopes flying about courtesy of the Saudi filth.The article makes it clear that existing owners will be revetted under the new rules, and any failing will lose their licence to play, ie they's have to put the club into trust until they could divest.
Not ifI'm reading it right. To me it sounds like existing owners will be reassessed.

Surely it’s horse and punched for the Saudis ?Horse & Bolted spring to mind.
I'd like to thing that the rules will initially be enforced on new owners, but once established they then go after current owners. But they have never had backbone with this before.With the FA, PL and EFL so shit scared of upsetting the "big" clubs expect a couple of league 1 or 2 clubs to get hammered by the new rules and the "big" clubs pass everything with flying colours
You then get the minefield of what is clean. There are certain people buying into football that morally anybody doesn't really want there. It is the passion for football and the mess created where you can only really compete with a super-rich benefactor that allows this morality to be clouded.PIF can demonstrate that it’s money came from ‘clean’ sources so they would be deemed fit again if that were the case

They reference owners who can't demonstrate where the money came from. MBS (Our not owner) can demonstrate that. I didn't see any other specific they would fall foul of.
Morally yes. Legally no. The source is oil and they will be able to demonstrate that very easily. Exxon made a profit of $56 Billion last year. I wonder how much the like of Aramco made... Aye, the source is blood ..
This will be the crucial appointment.We'll see who gets appointed as regulator. That will determine much. If it's someone strong-minded, it could get the government off the hook by letting them go full Pontius Pilate on it.
Of course they won’t its all bollocks. Tell the masses what they want to hear about ‘Doing the right thing’ then do the opposite anyway.They can dress it up however they want. £ will always rule in the game and these dodgy owners as they put it will be fine. Nobody will be forced to sell up.
D'ya know what? I'm starting to think the Superleague can't come soon enough. The big six and a load of top foreign teams will make a piss-pot full of money, and I and most real football supporters will have as much engagement with it as American Football- you watch it on the tele occasionally but it does not move your soul. No relegation jeopardy X 20 clubs = boredom.Of course they won’t its all bollocks. Tell the masses what they want to hear about ‘Doing the right thing’ then do the opposite anyway.
I’m just waiting for the Euro super league breakaway crap to rear it’s ugly head again.
They’ll not be satisfied until they have that and bugger everyone else.
Pull up the draw bridge, once the "top 6" get what they want.Horse & Bolted spring to mind.
The Euro super league can't come soon enough for me. Clear out all the mega money clubs and the remainder are all on a much more level playing field .....no pun intended.Of course they won’t its all bollocks. Tell the masses what they want to hear about ‘Doing the right thing’ then do the opposite anyway.

I am not so sure about the Super League, it appears that the German and Italian leagues have reigned in spending. Italian football especially seems very competitive these days.D'ya know what?

Seeing two real honest clubs slugging it out like we did last weekend is real football. There might not be as much money for the clubs at our level (except when they want to buy our young talent) but TV will pay to screen good quality national footy. I don't understand the concern about the 'destroying the pyramid' because it will still be exactly the same except a few clubs will have gone. Frankly it is a fantasy that a club could come from the lower reaches to take on those mega-clubs anyway. That includes us BTW, realistically. So bye-bye and don't let the door hit you on the arse on the way out!
Reassessed and passed. They could turn up towing a trailer of all the bodies of the people they've executed this year and still be passed. It's all a facade.Not ifI'm reading it right. To me it sounds like existing owners will be reassessed.
