You don’t bring a Saudi Royal on board and just hope for the best when it gets to the PL ratification. These checks will be a formality that has already been pre-approved.

People who have screwed HMRC before and are unfit to be company directors or have interests in other competitive clubs (so to avoid collusion etc). Looks done to me, congrats
