LONDON -The English Football League is demanding that all its clubs reveal the identities of their owners.

Notts County's takeover by a Middle Eastern business consortium left the League in the dark about who actually was putting up the money for the League Two club. There has also been speculation about who actually owns League One team Leeds.

The League board held a meeting Thursday about its "fit and proper persons" test and club ownership. It came up with a policy that the 72 Football League clubs should be obliged to divulge and provide evidence of ownership.
