mcornbeef.bsky.social @mcornbeef.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Apparently there is a statutory duty on governing bodies to remove unfit owners. After new rules (borrowed from FCA) came in fairly recently.

mcornbeef.bsky.social @mcornbeef.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Seriously though the most essential punishment imo is the removal of the current owners, who for obs reasons would fail "fit & proper" steward of a PL club.
