The co-owner of Hull City Ladies, Daniel Johnson, has been accused of multiple instances of aggressive behaviour that left players scared of him, and of making ­inappropriate comments about sex, according to written testimony seen by the Guardian.

In early April a series of letters about Johnson’s alleged conduct at the third-tier club, where he was the first-team manager before he became a director and co-owner, were sent to the Football Association as part of written evidence to support complaints about him. The letters were written by, among others, current and former players, club staff, volunteers and sponsors.
