The Football Association (FA) has launched an investigation into Mark Harris, the chairman of the Northern Premier League, according to the Guardian. The governing body is examining allegations that Harris sent an abusive email to a fan of FC United of Manchester. The incident reportedly followed a period of tension regarding league governance and supporter relations.
The Northern Premier League confirmed it is aware of the situation and stated it would cooperate fully with any FA proceedings. Harris has served as chairman of the competition for over 10 years and oversees three divisions within the English football pyramid. FC United of Manchester officials expressed concern over the alleged conduct but declined to comment on the specifics of the investigation, per Sky Sports.
Disciplinary procedures are currently at an early stage. The FA has the power to issue warnings, fines, or suspensions if it finds a breach of its code of conduct. No timetable has been set for a final decision on the matter.
