its crazy the situation they are in, i don't think i have ever heard of a team playing no pre-season games. 

 

The have a massive task of fitting a full stands worth of fans into the rest of the ground as well now. 

 

It is so sad for a team to be ran into the ground like this and shame on the FA for just standing by and watching it happen! 

They've played at least one, just think it got moved to behind closed doors

Does it? The guy is actively bombing the club and aiming to spend as little as possible. This isn't a mess they've got into due to overspending trying to chase glory. Strikes me as a chairman trying to bleed the club dry and it seems to be out of spite at this point.

It does, because there's worse ways to ruin a club. However, there's no enforcement here because it doesn't affect the status quo.

Its the opposite problem to PSR. 

 

PSR has put the blinkers on everyone. We have the authorities coming up with tonnes of complex rules, accountants focussed on fiddling those as much as possible, club leadership doing all sorts of deals to circumvent it (selling womens teams, selling hotels, transfer cartels, selling youth players) and lawyers fighting cases on technicalities.  

 

What the authorities have forgotten is your owner could pass PSR, but be a negligent twat who runs everything into the ground and does huge amounts of harm to the club. Yet this is ok, and owners willing (and financing) big spend isn't.

People just don't get how close we are to them behind the scenes. 

 

More protests should have taken place last year against the board who are destroying the club

The problem is, how does the FA / EFL / Premier League go about taking an asset off somebody or a group of people? 
 

Realistically they don’t have that much power besides financial and sporting sanctions for the competitions they run.

 

Yes, there’s an argument about the fit and proper person’s test not being of an appropriate standard… but the majority of football clubs are massively loss making affairs, so again, it’s quite difficult for the footballing authorities to fully veto a prospective buyer(s) of a club at that point if there’s promises of inward investment.

 

The new regulator, which will have statutory powers may have a bit more scope to do something in these situations… but these instances are always going to be a tricky and complex legal situations.

There needs to be more rules to stop owners like Chansiri and the Oystons but its a completely different thing to FFP rules

Neves, Wilson and Piroe

I went with Neves, Wilson and Assombalonga. 

 

Although in fairness, Piroe probably has proven his worth too.
