Just cannot see how these pass the updated fit and proper owner test with all the, to quote Dyche, 'noise' around them.
Then there are the stone cold facts about their delayed payments for the basketball league, their failure to pay transfers for their Brazilian club, now the club being banned from transfers, etc., the individuals' criminal records and all that. Their shady business practices, fans of several of their clubs protesting against them.
The FA will at some point need to show they are following their own rules and this is the perfect opportunity for them to say "We've decided this group would neither benefit Everton nor the Premier and Football Leagues in England in the long-term".
Thankfully I can see the FA putting a stop to it. But I don't know where that would leave us.
There simply have to be groups out there that want to buy a Premier League club with a mega stadium set for completion.
There are only 20 Premier League clubs in the world and most aren't for sale. Of the ones that would be for sale, despite our position, we're by far the biggest and best prospect there is, unless Spurs came out and said they're up for sale.
