There seems to be a trend of Shieks with no actually money buying clubs. Heaven knows why, maybe they underestimated the scale of the debt and required investment and got caught out. Some appear to be fantasists of the highest order. Deals are accepted because they are hoped to be loaded like Man City's owners.
The FA should be conducting a fit-and-proper persons test but the question of if the owner can actually afford to both buy the club and eliminate the debt seems not to be a priority for them.
