Fuck knows but if I’m selling a house the only thing that I’m interested in is that the other party has the funds in place to complete the deal.
If they default on the mortgage two years later I don’t know how that could be my fault.

Car analogy doesn't really work I don't think.
Owning an EFL club seems to very very rarely be a lucrative money-spinner, especially for a club without a real fanbase. So if a professional gambler with no obvious connections to English football at all, let alone Wigan, wants to take over your club - one that you've poured millions into to take them well above their natural position - surely you'd be asking questions.
Perhaps he's just been unlucky, and these deals just seem shady with hindsight.
But if you're trying to imply there's some kind of xenophobic attitude behind it, not at all.
Same with Steve Dale taking over Bury - not a football fan, and a guy who had never been to Bury in his life and having no discernable means of income. Why the fuck are people selling football clubs to these?
