Good point. This lot will have had the nod that the club wont be saddled with a points deduction.
It just doesn't make sense buying a club that'll definitely be relegated with a points deduction. They're in the business of selling Everton + a stadium a few years down the line.
We won't be deducted points anyway but they wanted the takeover whether we stayed up or not last season. It wasn't dependent on staying up although may have got it cheaper.
