Prospective Salop owners get dual interest clearance

Scottish FA approves dual-interest holding, clearing a major regulatory hurdle for the US consortium's acquisition of Shrewsbury Town.

The American consortium led by Scott Davidson, Will Dotson, Craig Graham and former Liverpool and Tottenham goalkeeper Brad Friedel has received Scottish FA approval to hold controlling interests in both Spartans FC and Shrewsbury Town. The group had already passed due diligence and financial tests from the English Football League and Independent Football Regulator. The dual-interest clearance completes most regulatory aspects of the acquisition, though negotiations with current owner Roland Wycherley remain ongoing.
