And further to this Bury owner Steve Dale has apparently been involved in 20 companies that have been dissolved, does that make him fit & proper? How fit & proper are the EFL allowing someone with this record to own a club? And yet they slaughter clubs with FFP penalties, you really couldn't make it up...

In fairness, companies are dissolved all the time, for many reasons. Entrepreneurs create SPVs and all manner of enterprises. Entrepreneurs also have as many (if not more) failures than successes, but dust themselves off and go again.
It doesn’t always mean they’ve ‘gone to the wall’ owing creditors and customers thousands.
I’d be interested to understand how many of Dale’s companies actually had to call in administrators or went into CVA.
However, all that said, this pretty much goes back to my earlier suggestions for a proper compliance regime within football.
