The easy answer is that a club is not allowed to play games without an owner who has passed the test in advance That way potential new owners would have to put themselves forward at the start of the process and not after it has completed.
Although i doubt i would have helped in this case as its looking more and more likely that this was some sort of financial setup.
A quick to implement solution would be that a new owner has to personally buy a license from the FL for say £5 million which they then in effect lend him the money to do. If alls well when he comes to sell the club and he's paid off his loan they give him his money back if he hasn't made the payments he in effect owes a debt to the FL of money they never actually laid out in the first place, a debt which they could then sell on giving them a profit on the deal.
The beauty of this is how many of these shysters would actually pass the credit checks to borrow 5 million at which point the bells would surely start ringing you would think.
