The futures of four English clubs were still in the balance last night while football’s governing bodies demanded more information from their owners.
The Premier League is investigating Ali al-Faraj, the latest “saviour” of Portsmouth, and his backers before rubber-stamping the fourth foreign takeover at Fratton Park in 11 years.
The Football League has also asked for more details about the ownership of Notts County and Leeds United. County were bought three months ago by the mysterious investment group, QADBAK, while Ken Bates, the Leeds chairman, has admitted that he does not know who owns the Coca-Cola League One club.
Flavio Briatore, the controversial chairman of Queens Park Rangers, has been called, meanwhile, to give his account of the lifetime ban from Formula One he received after the “Crashgate” scandal, when Nelson Piquet Jr was told to crash his Renault to help Fernando Alonso, his team-mate, to win the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix.
