Jackie Broon Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 A decent effort this: It really isn't. It's riddled with errors, inaccuracies and unsubstantiated hearsay. For a start there is no "Appendix 3" to the Owners' and Directors' test (Appendix 3 of the PL handbook actually relates to camera positions) and the test clearly allows consideration of more than the "applicants' financial standing".

AyeDubbleYoo Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Are the PL an entirely private company? I wonder whether there’s any actual legal requirement for them to apply the test consistently or to answer to anyone except the member clubs. Basically, can they do anything they want?

No, they would be at risk of having litigation brought against them for the financial damage caused if they don't have a sound legal basis for their actions (or lack of action).

Interpolic Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 What annoys me is that the test is nonsense if the scope of it can be changed at will, yet not applied retrospectively. How can they entertain lobbying from competitor clubs for our takeover when there was no such pressure on the likes of Man City and Chelsea when theirs went through?

How can they entertain lobbying from competitor clubs for our takeover when there was no such pressure on the likes of Man City and Chelsea when theirs went through? By the letter of the rules the exclusion of old offences only applies to the period of 19th August 2004 and 5 June 2009 for an offence which would not have led to disqualification as a Director under the Rules of the League as they applied during that period. The rules allow for a director to be disqualified at any time should a disqualifying event happen or come to light. So they possibly could be applied retrospectively to Roman Abramovich for example (who took control of Chelsea in 2003) if he, as reported, has admitted in court to committing bribery.
