No, No and No. I did however speak to somebody at the EFL to ask if there was any info' they were able to give in relation to the takeover but they were so non committal that it was a waste of effort. Even when asked about integrity of competition (League 1) due to our lack of CEO, CFO and permanent manager with a current owner (who they passed as "fit and proper") who is asset stripping by selling players at less than expected value the answer was "we cannot comment on individual clubs". Roland Out !!!
Sure but I wantted to find out how many knew of him without Googling. Before you searched, could you answer yes to either 1 or 2? Just trying to gauge level of awareness of its existence which seems to be very low; and thus a problem for it.
Sorry clearly I didn't read what you were actually asking.

Sounds like another toothless quango not worth the money they are being paid.
That's three negatives from me In case you were wondering, Prague. Judging by the answers above, I guess that either it's a very recent appointment or that the football ombudsman is not doing a very good job.
Re the questions which are starting to emerge above...
First of all, my own answers would have been No No, N/A too. Which makes it all the more gobsmacking for me to learn, from the link which @Scoham posted, that the Ombudsman has existed for 10 (ten) years, and that something similar existed before that. But if you read that website you will also see that his remit is very tightly constrained. On the surface he has no remit to take up the issues of overall ownership behaviour at distressed clubs like ours.
However as you have probably guessed this thread isn't a completely random one. But if you all will forgive me I won't say more right now; that's because the football establishhment always manages to disappoint even the most modest expectations.

If there are, has the Trust contacted the EFL ?
For those in the belief this is a recent thing.
