It's long overdue. It's the perfect storm, massive inflation in fees (exactly as predicted) along side the rules now having real teeth, combined with a mini credit crunch going on in football across most of Europe, the traditional hedge funds and fringe banks that have funded so many spending sprees are all now acting nervously wait to see which way the economies of Europe and here may tilt...
Everton in particular may now be in danger of going under, it's potential owners are now being sued again in the States for failing to provide info it was contracted to it's investors and not meeting payments to another - in my mind that rules them out of succeeding with the fit and proper rules and if that happens, Everton will be a financial basket case.
They could easily go into administration within months.
