It will be Anyone But Ashley. A consortium of Stalin, Saddam Hussein and Idi Amin could roll up there and be welcomed with open arms
Sounds like some of our fans going on about Power!

Would no doubt pass FPP tests as well, despite all being dead.

Looking at it, this seems to be more to do with Dale trying to salvage some value (again without spending any of his cash, the Ken school of club ownership) with little relevance to the future of football in the town. A very sad tale, there but by the grace and all that jazz.

Oldham now: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2020/feb/10/oldham-league-two-trouble-rent-north-standIan King of twohundredpercent is working on a piece about the shenannigans going on there as well - "Oldham Athletic is an "I just had to close 42 tabs on my browser" sort of football club. That shit is *complicated*." Apparently there are layers upon layers of charges on the ground. Puts some perspective on Wellens' tenure there.

It’s obvious the EFL’s fit and proper person test doesn’t work, but what would take its place to prevent these chancers rocking up at a club.
If possible, I reckon a 50/50 ownership with a Supporters Trust or somesuch.

It is shit, but it might be more effective if it and the surrounding regulations were actually enforced properly. It would still be shit but it would make a bit of difference. But the football authorities don't care about enforcing these rules, they're just window dressing they got forced into and have no interest in enforcing. If possible, I reckon a 50/50 ownership with a Supporters Trust or somesuch.
Like the German 50+1 model.
