NamelessFrom Despair To Where? On the face of it, there are a lot of parallels to TSI so I understand the caution.
However, the Chinese appear to have their own money and they have experience of running a football club where, in the short term at least, they seem to be doing so in a controlled and sensible manner.
Anything else is just speculation. Not sure why the FA are kicking up such a fuss, if indeed they are. They fudged the QPR situation and
don't appear to be doing anything about Leeds. It does feel like they are making a token noise in order to be seen to be making a noise.
Have the FA made any comment ? What is their role ?
The initial concerns came from the Football League and subsequent issues have come from the Premier League,
Leeds have had action taken against them. I think Cellini has served at least 2 suspensions due to his convictions for fraud, they also lost the big case brought by their compliance officer. It does seem odd that a club like that appears to be acceptable to the PL though.
Yeah but they are Leeds though, a "big club". One thing that is pretty standard in football, always punish the smaller club harsher that the larger club.
Wasn't it Spurs and Swindon who were both found guilty of very similar offences back in the 90s? Spurs got a fine, Swindon relegated.
