Derby County fraud exposes English football's 'fit and proper' test
22.07.2009
There was no "fit and proper person test" for football club directors when Derby County were taken over in October 2003 for the princely price of £3. Yet, even if the current test had been in place then, it would not have barred any of the four men who were sentenced this week to substantial prison sentences for their parts in defrauding Derby of £440,625.
