Out of the frying pan into the fire it seems as the two partners in the new ownership fell out and one was booted out. The money man stayed but cut all funding and then now it seems he has sold out to another new owner. But none of these new ownerships have been approved by EFL still.
So not really a "competition for fanbase in London" issue, but rather a total buggers muddle of who owns it/who fubds it. A lot like what I believe Wigan have on their plate, but the club has not yet gone into administration: but I wouldnt bet against it
