Club Takeover/Investment

It would be interesting to know which ones, although there's probably not even 3 I'd give one proverbial about if they left tomorrow.

Gutless would be my word for them. The previous manager was a shocker, the hierarchy are shocking but the mist shocking of all are the players. What on earth happened to professional pride, personal responsibility for fitness, desire to improve? Most of them are a disgrace?

I know one was Alfie Divine I can’t remember who the other two were being honest.
 
If (and it should be when) Manchester City are kicked out of the Premier League, will the EFL allow them into the Championship, League 1 or League 2 ?

Will the current City owners be considered “fit and proper” by the EFL ? Or will that not apply ?

They can't be "kicked out" of the Premier League (or demoted straight to League Two, as would happen in Italy) because the Prem and EFL are separate entities. What is most likely is they'll receive a points penalty that will guarantee relegation to the Championship without them actually being "expelled" as such.

The IFR checks on ownership only applies to new applications to take over at clubs so doesn't apply. There are rules about directors with unspent criminal convictions not being able to run clubs (like with Oyston and Ridsdale) but there are ways to get around that sort of thing (like with Oyston and Ridsdale)

It's looking like exactly that going off the exclusive published yesterday. Back to back points deductions. One that would guarantee relegation and one which would guarantee failure to be promoted the season after.

Sadly that scenario cleverly avoids the EFL refusing to accept them as it will effectively be a relegation rather than a banishment from the premiership

How can the EPL impose a punishment on a EFL club? Once City are relegated then they’re outside EPL jurisdiction.

Did they change the ruling after Leicester avoided FFP penalties by getting relegated and promoted again?

No idea. As others mention there could a legal field day for years to come as everyone tries to test the other boundaries of what they can and can’t do. Be just their luck to manage to undo the penalties they impose by messing up the implementation of them
