However, the problem here is that it is (or should be, I could be wrong here) also their role to protect the interests of clubs and other stakeholders including fans and not just those of the owners. I don't think it is doing anyone any particular service with a system that basically says you can keep on coming and we can keep on advising ad infinitum.

It leaves us in a situation where Moshiri can keep pursuing 777 and they can keep spinning ther plates while putting the club in more and more debt which really doesn't seem to be in anyone's best interests. Surely there must be a point where the League can say NO to both th ecurrent ad potental owners and force the process to move on? I realise that state sponsored murder does not appear to be a red-line, but there must be one, somewhere?

Of course, all regulation is fraught with danger as far as commercial repercussions are concerned, I'm sure the EPL is worried that increased regulation will put off future investors. But it does appear the League needs more regulation, not less. I'm not sure if they have a review process, being fit and proper today does not make you fit and proper next year. In effect, Moshiri may no longer be a fit and proper owner and his actions could be threatening the future of the club with everyone powerless to act.

Firesale incoming this summer, save for a magical unicorn swooping in and filling Goodison Park with gold.

What is it you want here?

You understand that the prem can say 'we have received all our clarifications from 777' or they can say 'we have not received sufficient clarification from 777.' that's it. That's the limit of their powers.
