⁠
Charlie Methven says 47 of the EFL’s 72 clubs are currently up for sale.⁠
⁠
Many are carrying significant ongoing losses, yet there are now more sellers than buyers and some clubs cannot be sold at any price.⁠
⁠
For years, football relied on what Methven calls the “bigger idiot theory”: the belief that another wealthy owner would always arrive and absorb the losses. ⁠
⁠
He argues that cycle is now breaking down, leaving some clubs facing the threat of administration.⁠
⁠
What happens when the buyers stop coming?⁠
