17January2025Study identifies illicit finance risks in Premier League club ownership structures
Written by: Joe Stafford
The Premier League is currently vulnerable to new investors and team owners who could have sourced their wealth from illicit activities.

That’s according to a new peer-reviewed paper which is the latest to raise concerns about the competition’s Owners' and Directors' Test – colloquially known as the ‘Fit and Proper’ test – saying “complex and opaque structures permit the misuse of EPL club ownership for the channelling of illicit finances”.
Criminology experts from The University of Manchester, who led the study, say their findings demonstrate “conditions which are known to be associated with the use of organisational structures for illicit activities in the ownership structures of many EPL clubs”.
Such conditions include the “widespread use of various legal entities and traditional ‘secrecy’ jurisdictions” that can hide who owners and investors are, as well as the presence of unnecessarily complex arrangements, and an absence of information on who all the owners actually are.
They state the current Owners’ and Directors’ Test does not do enough to prevent potential new owners and investors from withholding the source of their funds, “which could be from illicit activities”.
word limit means the rest cannot be posted. link in subject short and long is Fulham very lcky to have SHAD KHAN AS SOLE OWNER!
