What is worse is that the identity of each owner and the ultimate owner must be identified to the regulator when the club applies even for a provisional licence. I ask the Minister: if new individuals are identified, will they have to go through the full owners’ and directors’ tests as new prospective owners, or will they be treated as incumbents? I emphasise again that we should think of the complexity and cost of this process for EFL clubs in the lower leagues as well.
