They're supposed to make sure people like SiSu don't get their claws into its football clubs. They do nothing yet are quick to threaten these clubs when those owners cause them hardship. Yeah but once the club is taken over, EFL gotta do something, and at least this forces Sisu’s hand (or the club go bust because Joy Seppala is mental). Like, letting Cov piss about in Northampton indefinitely while shit owners continue to do nothing doesn’t help either. 1 hour ago, Adam said: The EFL are, as ever, a joke for threatening to expel them from the league.

The threat isn’t out of the blue either, Coventry’s owners have dragged it so far down the line - threat of expulsion was mentioned ages ago. This could have been solved a long long time ago.

Admin Lineker Posted February 22, 2019 Author Admin Report Share Posted February 22, 2019 I think some Cov fans would accept tumbling out of the league if it meant being rid of Sisu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobfoc Posted February 22, 2019 Report Share Posted February 22, 2019 I hate to see this sort of thing going on. Having seen my own favourite club coming close to extinction more than once, I know it has to be hard for the Coventry fans. On the other hand, if Coventry are expelled from the Football League, does that mean that there's only one team relegated from League Two? Things are starting to look up...

DFF Posted February 24, 2019 Report Share Posted February 24, 2019 Chuffed with our win over West Brom. We haven't been great away at top end sides, so we really needed that. Apparently we are the first team since Everton in 2017 to stop them scoring in a home league game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobfoc Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 Rumours are circulating that Notts County could be going into administration. If that happens, and unless some unforeseen multi-millionaire comes out of the woodwork, that's it. The club's doomed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gazz Posted February 28, 2019 Report Share Posted February 28, 2019 Quote Roland Duchatelet acquired Charlton on January 3rd 2014. At that time of the purchase, Charlton competed in the Championship, a competition that was governed by the Financial Fair Play rules (FFP). Those rules allowed a club to make an annual operating loss of £3 million plus a further maximum of £3-5 million of shareholder investment. With an average annual turnover of £12m, Charlton was thus allowed to make losses up to 50-60% of its turnover. During seasons 2013/14 and 2014/15 several EFL club meetings were held to discuss a change of the FFP rules. After several unsuccessful votes in the space of a couple of months, in November 2014, the EFL finally found a majority amongst the Championship clubs to allow a club to have permitted losses up to a maximum of £39m over three seasons or £15m over three seasons in case there is no shareholder investment. Thus, 10 months after the purchase, Duchatelet’s Charlton had to compete in a competition where clubs are allowed to lose £13m per season which equates to 108% of its turnover. Under these new Profitability and Sustainability rules (P&S), the EFL is allowing or actually forcing shareholders to double their shareholder investments and thus dramatically increasing the financial burden on those shareholders. While the attractiveness of the Championship competition has always been that it’s the most competitive league in the world, it is now becoming renowned for being the biggest financial graveyard or black hole in football. Under the Owners’ and Directors’ test, the EFL has to assess and give its final approval for the purchase of a club. It does so with a special focus ‘to protect the image and integrity of The League and its competitions, the well-being of the Clubs and the interests of all the stakeholders in those Clubs’ (Appendix 3 of the EFL Regulations). If this is one of the objectives of the EFL, it’s hard to see how under these P&S rules increasing the (shareholders’) debt of clubs is protecting the well-being of the Clubs and the interests of their stakeholders. The first seasons under Duchatelet Charlton finished 18th and 10th in the Championship. After two years of ownership without problems Charlton got too many injuries relative to its limited squad size. Results were poor. Fans started to criticise and then protest, sometimes during the games, which didn’t help. Charlton got relegated to League One. As a result of the damaging and sometimes criminal fans protests and the changed financial climate of the P&S rules, Charlton were officially put up for sale at the end of 2017. A few months later Heads of Terms were in place with two candidate buyers, pending the funding of the transaction. However, new incidents were created by a coalition of fans against the owner based on fake news, like young players were not getting water to drink and staff not being paid due bonuses. It’s hard to deny that such actions could jeopardise the ongoing purchase process. The EFL said it would intervene to find out who was telling the truth but nothing like that happened. They did not really investigate things. Moreover EFL representatives suggested to the group of critics that their claims of August 2018 relating to the bonus might have some basis (despite the fact the EFL hadn’t investigated). Two fans found sufficient support in this ambivalent attitude of the EFL to come to Belgium last weekend. They tagged and damaged several properties of Duchatelet, the homes of two friends of Duchatelet and the house of the friend of a friend. Football has been the fastest growing industry in England in recent decades. However which foreign candidate owner will be prepared to invest millions to get a chance to bring a club to the Premier League and at the same time accept acts of vandalism against his property and intrusion in his private life, wherever in the world he/she lives? Therefore the owner demands that the EFL acquires his football club. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
