Right & proper Ownership? Potential law suit

[Ragatino]

I'm pretty sure the Leeds fans & the Blackburn fans would also lend weight to the complaint.

Pretty much any club who has suffered at the hands of poor ownership, Hull, Cardiff etc with their foreign owners coming in and completely misunderstanding the culture of the game & the identity of each club/people from the community who bleed for their team.

In this modern age we are able to organise on-line to protest all manner of things.

Wouldn't it be nice to challenge the establishment on something that is actually close to everyone's hearts.

Was their a right and proper test back then?
Not sure when it was brought in

Fairly sure it was just proving you had the money.

THe much more rigorous one now is because of Pompey i think? One of their owners bought them with money he didn't actually have but did have on paper or something.

'Right and Proper' they look at the finances of the potential owners. This rule has been in place since the Premier League has been in existence.

However most people seem to be able to snake their way around this as Jammy mentioned with Pompey, look at them now (not that they were a big deal in the first place but with 'Arry the Bung in charge they certainly punched above their weight for a few seasons), dropped through the leagues like the team across the Tyne. Sunderland, Leeds, Liverpool under the previous ownership, Blackburn, etc, etc.

Another criminal who bought a Premier League team is that co(k smoker, Thaksin Shinawatra. The former Thai businessman/criminal bought Man City with money he stole from the Thai people during his time as the Prime Minister. He then did time in Jail for his crimes (not sure if he's still banged up in Bangkok or not, not that I give a sh!t).

But I think we could probably find 100,000 - 250,000 football fans from across the leagues who would join the cause.

I'd be happy to contact legal professionals to see what the possibilities are.
