Fear and loathing in Western Denmark: New American club owners hit by scandals of alleged abuse and lack of knowhow

Several Danish clubs have recently been acquired by foreign investors, including American, who see potential in the Nordic country.

But some have been hit by accusations they are out of their depth and lack the understanding of the European football industry.

In one club, a head coach hired by the new investors has been accused of abusing players physically and verbally.

Denmark's football association has launched a task force to assess whether to implement an owners' and directors' test.
