I chose to think of it that he was going to receive insane pressure from the fanbase to sell the club because of the accusations, moreso than any governing body taking it away from him. May not have been realistic, but let me move on and just enjoy it from there.

But of course that doesn't come up once. Nope, there's restrictions on players being able to field against a former club in a competition in the same season (like Champions League) I believe, but nothing for Managers.
