    It does make you wonder what the purpose is of the PL fit and proper owner test is?
    Pat’s analogy is good about a mortgage but even a bank wants to know your income stream before deciding how much to lend you. If Burnley are having to sell assets to service a debt for a relegation which, with all due respect, isn’t a great surprise, then the PL ‘test’ is once more shown up as a bit of a joke.

    Aye, it is a real joke, but the joke wasn't funny the way they dealt with the transactions over the purchase of our club.

    If they had been so scrupulous with the sales of Burnley and the ultra-rapid dealing with Chelski I think there may have been different outcomes.
