Backseat smoking documenter Louis Tomlinson has had his takeover bid for Doncaster Rovers football club rejected.
The idea was that Tomlinson would become a co-owner of the club with former chairman John Ryan. But according to Digital Spy the pair's bid was rejected because they didn't pass the Football League's "fit and proper person's test", which is quite the criticism when you think about it.
Naturally the One Direction frontman 'took to Twitter' to express how "gutted" he was about the whole thing.
I'm absolutely gutted the Doncaster Rovers deal is not going ahead. I am desperate for the club to be given the recognition it deserves :(

He also insinuated that the crowdfunding campaign he'd set up to try and raise the £2m needed might have also been a bit of an issue.
I was explicitly told that the deal to buy the club was not dependent on the money raised by Crowdfunding . Unfortunately I was misled.

It's a shame really that rather than trying to get One Direction fans to buy the club he didn't just put up all the cash from his own huge personal fortune. Oh well!
