brady bunch Posted September 9, 2022 Report Share Posted September 9, 2022 We care if we end up 3rd in the table with Burnley in the top two, but facing a massive points deduction! then it will matter..... I know that is a lot of "ifs" but it could happen... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Posted September 9, 2022 Report Share Posted September 9, 2022 In homage to those who moaned about the Sunderland injury thread, I’m assuming we’ll have to now have a separate thread for every piece of financial news for clubs in our division? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted September 9, 2022 Report Share Posted September 9, 2022 Birmingham are also under investigation for something similar iirc although in their mitigation fans have been encouraging them for years to look into BSH (their owners- Birmingham Sports Holdings) but the EFL did bugger all. Al Majir in particular has, he raiser the alarm as far back as 2017 but the Football League under Harvey did nothing. Under Parry too for a while presumably.

Tbh - it’s no real surprise to me anyway that ‘dodgy’ deals in football are under scrutiny. This story is slightly different in as much its about high finance and buying an entire club and just a little above motorway services meetings and grubby brown envelopes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted September 9, 2022 Report Share Posted September 9, 2022 Skimread the last couple of pages, the accounts actually seem to show on Note 24 that the ultimate owners are based in Jersey I thought? If it's disclosed in the correct manner then where is the issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHILINFRANCE Posted September 9, 2022 Report Share Posted September 9, 2022 There appears to be some suggestion this is the Daily Mail or, more specifically, Matt Hughes (he has form) making mischief. Burnley stated that ALK are unequivocally the Championship club's true owners The EFL are investigating claims that the ownership is actually based in Jersey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grey Fox Posted September 9, 2022 Report Share Posted September 9, 2022 Is one potential problem that the “actual “ owners, if different, have not submitted to any suitability test?

There is a big difference between saying somebody is the ultimate controller and saying they are considered to be.
