“However, I was very pleased to learn today that the Football League have made it known that, in the event of a takeover, no further sanctions will be issued to Southampton Football Club. "
I'm afraid I do not believe anything from Mahwhinny ever since he once said that Southampton could always appeal against the the FL's decision to deduct 10 points, then changed his mind. The threat of further deductions has been at the heart of the uncertainty, and the FL could have clarified this a long time ago, saving a lot of fatally wasted time and money.
Mahwhinny has much to answer for.
