In June 2008 he was fined £15,000 and suspended from all football and football activities for a period of five years by The Football Association in respect of thirteen charges of misconduct made against him. At the same time Luton Town FC was fined £50,000 and had ten points deducted for routing of payments to agents not through The Football Association.

In September 2011 he was disqualified from acting as a director for six years following proceedings brought by the UK Insolvency Service related to this misconduct.
