Burndens Bogs Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 (edited) It's an any port in a storm attitude over on Wigginways. Given that it’s 3 months since they went into admin, this dodgy Spaniard is the only person to match the asking price - beggars can't be choosers. Hasta La Vista - maybe.

Mantra Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Sounds slightly dodgy that guy, not sure how much so. Imagine EFL block the deal, full on meltdown again. 😂 Adios! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mounts Kipper Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 This is definitely leaning towards Bassini territory. You wouldn’t be surprised if he raped the assets and liquidated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birch-chorley Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 In fairness to the EFL, how can they block a deal when the other option is liquidation? They really can’t win can they They are only meant to be organising a league, scrutinising fruitcakes and con men shouldn’t be their responsibility Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bolty58 Posted October 7, 2020 Members Share Posted October 7, 2020 I remember seeing this on TV when I was a kid, about 30 years after the event before the resident comedians start. Can't explain why but I immediately thought of it when the name Jose Miguel Garrido Cristo was mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose they have, not sure why it should be down to them though, your either allowed to own a UK company or your not (surely) In terms of this case, similar to many others, how can the EFL possibly say no? If they say No and the club gets liquidated they get hammered, if the only show in town is a con man and they approve then they get hammered anyway They should can the whole fit and proper stuff and go back to simply organising a league Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter MickyD Posted October 7, 2020 Site Supporter Share Posted October 7, 2020 I’m not disagreeing with you. Problem is, there’s got to be a F&P process somewhere or it’d be carnage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the clubs that make the rules so blaming the clubs for EFL failings like many fans do is pointless and they are just a scapegoat. Like Wigan blaming EFL for the points deduction. Thats what all the other clubs wanted. Same with these dodgy owners or liquidation what can EFL do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
