So they can actually be owned over 50+1 but not control the voting rights?
Kind of makes it all a bit of a pose imo

777 have been heavily linked with a takeover or at least a significant investment in Everton, but hard to see how a convicted Class A drug dealer could ever pass even our shit fit and proper test

Ruining Aussie football.

Huge Achievement, done ppreviouslyin the early 80s in the NSL, but in salary capped league this can't be underestimated.

Now we move into finals mode when each game is knock-out and the granny will be played in Sydney regardless of the teams. We basically have a full squad and everyone seems to be hitting form.

undoubtedly we find a way to make it difficult

Darlington were bought by Reynolds who had previously been convicted for watch-smuggling, safe cracking, handling explosives, theft, at least four occasions for more than a total of four and a half years sentences.

After take-over, he would go on to go down again, on tax charges.

Likewise, Steve Dale, who destroyed Bury. Out of 51 companies he was ascociated with 43 were liquidated. The EFL said they didn't do the required fit and proper tests as Bury were already struggling financially. If only he was from the middle east...............

It has been an interesting week in the A-Leagues. We've seen so-called boycott, active groups go to war on social media, and the APL take fans for suckers yet again. While our City boys attempt to get into a fourth straight Grand Final, our Yarra End Collective active group will be boycotting...

City winning 1-0 at HT.

Missed the first 25 mins, life got in the way but, we should be further in front from what I've seen of the game.

 

[blue b4 the moon]

1-1 on 64 mins after a correctly awarded pen was saved by City only for the old encroachment bollocks to be used and scored on the re-take ...amazing how little it ever comes into play!!!!!
