So much for the PL fit and proper test. They don't give a damn it's all about the money
He bought a controlling interest in Spur in 2001, the crimes he has pleaded guilty to took place between 2013 and 2021.

In this instance, I'm not sure it's fair to criticise the Premier League for something he did 12 years after acquiring the football club.

The inside of his super-yacht is quite nice.

Oh dear, not very good for Spuds
And the last two paras suggest he won't even go to prison for it (plea bargain malarkey stuff). White collar fraud and theft eh... hardly worth bothering about.. let's go after the little guys who steal and can't afford top lawyers.

Maybe, but surely the “fit and proper” test should apply on a continuous basis, not just at acquisition?
