We saw with the Don fiasco that our new owner (who was but wasn't or is but isn't) didn't have a pot to pish in and couldn''t afford to pay the staff over summer. Consequently within minutes of him getting the keys we were asking the PFA to pay the players. If owner A wants a million for the club then new owner B must have the onions to pay it.
3. give ALL clubs a five year deadline to get in the black. Any club not in the black faces a relegation (or two if they finish in the relegation spots anyway). Man United would have to sell and not buy, and not pay astronomic wages for a season or two in order to service the ridiculous debts. The knock on throughout the leagues would be fairer competition and a dilution of the wealth. The only possible debt a club should have (IMHO) is an overdraft equivalent to two months wages just to ensure that it ticks over.
3. As Willie said, use the PFA to pay the players wages. Use the FA to pay all transfer fee's (instantly not staggered?) and tax bills. All gate receipts etc paid into a central pot and handed back as and when football bills are settled. Let the governing body administrate its member clubs. Any club that is struggling would be identified a lot sooner and sanctions or help could get underway long before the club gets into real difficulty.
that'll do for starters

Yet another spot on post, though I am not sure that I understand No3
but, I am sure that if you are agreeing with Willie, it must be OK!!!
