According to The Sun UK, Ewarton is very close to bankruptcy. If it eventually materializes, he will automatically be deducted nine points in the league. However, the issue is deducting the points for this season, or for next season, which has become crucial to the team's future.
Currently, Ewarton's debt has reached £583 million (about HK$5.7 billion), plus the original intention to acquire. "The deal with American consortium 777 Investments fell through due to a commercial fraud case. If Ewarton class owner Mosholie fails to take over with a new buyer, the ball will stand a good chance of going bust and will be automatically deducted nine points.
Due to financial irregularities, Ewarton have eight points in the Premier League this season. The team entered the league on Saturday night (11th) with a dugout. After beating Siffield United 1-0 at home, they are 14 points ahead of tail three Luton with one round of league games remaining and will not be off duty even if another 9 points are deducted. However, if they arrive first next season chasing a nine-point deduction, Ewarton's outlook for the new season will be bleak as they start with negative points.
