The EFL test has the same criteria as the PL one. And, having had their fingers burned so often recently, they're taking it way more seriously than they used to, Derby's still hasn't gone through, and that went in ages before ours. Wigan's is just back in for a second attempt with different buyers. State murders aside, the simple fact is that the Bein pirating makes them an automatic fail.

Better late than never I guess. :lol:

This will also explain why Donald and Burnley got through the door even though the financials behind both deals were fragile to say the least.

There was no reason why they would fail as individuals (ie evidence of insolvency or certain criminal offences, which is all the test covers). Apart from that, there is a review of the business plan proposed. The financial structure of a deal is not part of the test, except where there it might invalidate the business plan.

They kind of ignore the fact their buyer pulled out due to economic uncertainty rather than failing any test.

Rampant pisstaking by some irrelevance like Simon Jordan, an irrelevance who owned a Premier League club and who is paid to give an honest and unbiased opinion on what's going on in football.

Truth hurts eh?

Ashley really needed to sack him last month. That way, the new manager could have had a go at this recent run of fixtures and got them up the table.

For whatever reason, Ashley (or Charnley) is particularly bad at making quick decisions when they're struggling.

Everyone is missing a major piece of the jigsaw puzzle here as to why he hasn't sacked Bruce.

The answer is quite simply he doesn't like them and is probably getting some enjoyment from all this.

Think of the shit he has had from them, turning up outside a restaurant he was in and needing to leave with security. Some outside his home in Hertfordshire. Rocking up outside his shops etc.

Who in their right mind would have given the job to Bruce in the first place. He is having one huge laugh imo.
