David Cardoza

David Cardoza is a former chairman and director of Northampton Town Football Club. In November 2015, in the wake of an impending administration and winding-up petition before a court hearing on Friday 27 November 2015 he agreed to sell a controlling stake in the club to Kelvin Thomas and was arrested by police on 26 January 2016 investigating the loss of over £10m loaned to the club by the local council. He is accused, along with a North London cartel of businessmen, of stealing the money. Local MP David Mackintosh is believed to have taken bungs to insure the loan was given to build the stand.[1] [2]

In 2005 Cardoza had instigated plans to expand Sixfields Stadium,[3] which will enable the capacity to double. He is the successor to Andrew Ellis and Ken Good as Chairman.[4]
