What the league knew, and when

The compliance file, the two emails that were never answered, and a test that was passed on a Friday afternoon.

The compliance file, the two emails that were never answered, and a test that was passed on a Friday afternoon. Chapter two of the ownership files.

The file

The league's ownership test is a questionnaire. We obtained the version submitted for the club's change of control and the two internal emails that queried it. Neither email received a reply. The approval was signed the following Friday at 4:50pm.

The league offices. The test was approved from the fourth floor.

What was known

The withdrawn filing from chapter one had been seen by the league's own adviser three weeks earlier, according to a memo now in our possession. The memo recommends "further enquiry". There is no record of one.
