This bit is probably (sadly) spot on:

"You do wonder quite what a “fit and proper persons test” actually entails. Perhaps the truth is there aren’t enough fit and proper people prepared to own a football club. Any genuinely fit and proper person would most probably look at the potential downsides of owning a football club and decide against it.

There aren’t enough benevolent millionaires just waiting for the opportunity to lose all their money."

I love the fact that our professional game includes 92 entirely separate league clubs across 4 divisions, however even so I think that is becoming more and more unsustainable as the cost of running a football club continually increases.
