This from the FSA:
The inadequacies of the current fit and proper
persons test in English football were laid bare again this week following an
investigation into the owner of Scunthorpe United by The Athletic.
That investigation highlighted serious concerns at Glanford Park where someone
they say is a convicted fraudster was allowed by the FA to purchase the club.
David Hilton, who is also alleged to have gone by the names David Anderson and
David White, started a two-year prison sentence for fraud in April 2015,
according to The Athletic’s piece.
Mr Hilton has left a number of questions unanswered and the FA and the National
League need to respond urgently. This case clearly shows the Owners’ and
Directors’ Test has to be strengthened and enforced by an independent regulator
- and that's something FSA will keep pushing for.
