FA and NPL Launch Investigations into Chairman Mark Harris Over Alleged Abusive Email to FC United Fan

The Football Association and the Northern Premier League have launched separate investigations into NPL chairman Mark Harris following allegations he sent an abusive email to an FC United of Manchester supporter. The fan, Aled Duckfield, had complained about the league’s controversial decision to move a crucial end-of-season match due to pitch issues, a move FC United believes could jeopardize their title aspirations and financial standing. Both governing bodies confirmed the ongoing inquiries, with the NPL convening an urgent meeting to address the serious matter.
