From 1967 until 2001, Coventry City were a staple in the English top-flight. The club from the West Midlands even won the FA Cup as recently as 1987, but they now find themselves in League One, England’s third tier of professional football.

Last week, Massimo Cellino took the bait, and was filmed advising fake businessmen how to circumvent third party rules and profit from illegal player sales. Thanks to his shortsightedness, he is now subject to yet another FA investigation, and now has four active cases under review by football authorities.
Watch as Cellino proposes selling 20 percent of Leeds to a fictitious investment firm to help share profit on future player sales:

OK, imagine that, but instead of a Russian oil baron the shady bilionaire is a Mexican drug trafficker. I am referring here to Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, the boss of the Sinaloa Cartel who was arrested last week.
