Wow, what an idiot! So much money yet no sense. I wonder how far this goes and if DL/others at the club could become implicated.

This might already have been brewing in the background last year when his name was taken off the register as a person of significant control of the club and replaced with two corporate lawyers from his family trust.

How does this affect Joe's standing under the fit and proper test? Is it a non-issue because he's transferred ownership to a family trust?

he is forced to sell us.

he is forced to sell us.

Unlikely. Might be why he was delisted from the register Companies House last year to insulate the club as this will likely have been brewing for some time in the background.

“Just the tip…”

What an idiot if true.

Premier League will do nothing about fit and proper owner unless he is found guilty but as the club is now controlled by the family trust is he by law the owner?

 

[Dougal]

It seems unlikely he’ll have a strong defence.

 

[Dougal]

Seems even less likely now that he took time out the other day to interfere with the Kane situation.

he is forced to sell us.

Won't be that lucky.

No

And did Levy benefit from any tips? We have to assume that he could be classed as a friend. Or possibly even lover, it’s hard to say what the next twist in the story may be.

If the US prosecutors have any evidence on Levy and pass it on to the Financial Conduct Authority in the UK then we may get the takeover that many have been wishing for.
