It seems the EFL are damned if they do and damned if they don't. They're asking for more information, proof of funds etc and won't ratify the sale/transfer until that happens.

I thought there was a fit and proper test meant to be in place before a takeover went through to show the money is there hence JR being knocked back all those years ago.I can't see any defence for the efl in anything they do. The consistent pushing back of the salary cap vote is an example of how they are pushing clubs to the brink with their indecision

The consistent pushing back of the salary cap vote is an example of how they are pushing clubs to the brink with their indecision Isn’t it the clubs delaying the decision.? Maybe, just maybe, the problem with the EFL governance is that the board or individuals who should be able to enable decisions do not have sufficient authority (from the collective of the clubs) or within the existing rules, to deal with some of the issues of the modern game.?So yes, some changes are needed but to bottom line blame “the EFL” for every damned thing is getting ridiculous IMHO..
I think that people are not criticising the fit and proper persons criteria, that in itself is a good thing.The issue though is the amount of time that the EFL are letting the necessary proof of funds by ESI drag on for.The report says that the process began in January and yet, as far as I know, ESI have been running the club.In the case of the JR and LT ownership of DRFC attempt, they never actually got to run the club, so there is a difference.The EFL do have recent form in letting things run on and on without seemingly being able to make or get a decision made.The Sheffield Wednesday thing situation ran for eight months, we all know how long the Bolton fiasco took to sort out and I don’t think that the Derby County situation is near to completion yet ?
