It just shows how the fit and proper test, is neither fit, nor proper

Don’t get too excited. A few greased palms would do the trick.

PL, instead of confronting this, will be looking at all angles to kick this into the long grass and adopt the "nowt to do with us" attitude.

They'll be praying the golf thing sorts itself out so it can quietly go away.

Legal challenges from the three relegated teams this year will be fun, if only to see the irony of Everton using the "they lied about who really owns them" argument.

No chance of them being taken to task, Prem paid off, rotten.

To have your club run by despots is awful and totally undesirable. Having unlimited amounts of money in-so that trophies are being bought is tragic.
Only slightly better is having clubs owned by speculators who take money from the clubs to manipulate their other enterprises and boost their own bank balances.
Having Mr Gibson at Boro has been a Godsend.
