Similar to the whinging about owners, there is an easy solution, don't allow them to take over clubs. But equally, be prepared to struggle when funds get tight, or have clubs close.

My view, let the clubs close. There is too much spending without any thought in football. I like the idea of only being able to spend what you can show is in the bank, and it is ring-fenced. The victims of the over spending isn't the football clubs that close, but the businesses that expect payment, but can't because a club over spent and caused an issue.
I think what you're saying is that if a club goes into administration because of overspending then they should be allowed to fold?

In which case, of course, local suppliers would get nothing as opposed to at least a percentage of what they're owed.

Although I agree, it is the local small businesses that suffer in such circumstances. Prevention is far better than cure so perhaps the new financial fair play rules will make a difference.
