Is there a rule against owning multiple clubs in the Premier League? In US sports leagues that’s a rule because back in the 1890s the owners of the NL’s Cleveland Spiders bought another NL team the St. Louis Perfectos and then sold all of Cleveland’s good players to St. Louis, making that year’s Spiders the worst team in baseball history and forcing them to fold at the end of the year. It’s such an obvious conflict of interest that it really shouldn’t be allowed.
