In practical terms in means we have a lame duck owner, not so much because of this ban (which is only 90-odd days) but given he still has other pending cases, due to the likelihood of further bans to come. This creates this high risk of financial issues - how much is Cellino willing to put into the club in terms of running cost (not even thinking about additional costs of loan signings) when he does not know when in the future he can look forward to clear and uninterrupted ownership. He does not seem like a patient man who will look at the medium to long term and just ride it out for a year or so in the background with a good CFO/CEO in place to run the club.
If so, what is his Plan B - if he plays the poor persecuted Italian shunned by the cruel English will he really care about the club (find a good buyer), or will he shove us into financial turmoil to prove his point? For what ít's worth I can't see what people are blaming the Football League for this and it rather misses the point of the real culprit, Cellino. They're just implementing the rules that all their constituent clubs (members) have created. The fact that there are other dodgy owners out there is no reason not to ban one dodgy owner who is caught red handed.
