The Harrogate owner bought them because his son managed the club.
The AFC Fylde owner started his project to get back at the Oystons at Blackpool who would not sell him Blackpool FC who he has supported since childhood.
By the way they are both seriously wealthy, circa £250 million, and very shrewd businessmen.
The Torquay owner bought the club so he could build houses on the stadium land and has been blackmailing the local council ever since as they own Plainmoor.
Halifax owner lifelong fan reformed the club when it went bust. Seriously wealthy but by all accounts a very decent man who tries to run his club the right way.
The owner of Borehamwood inherited the club from his dad. Strange man who does some good work but was once convicted of assaulting two women.

Just a few examples of the good and bad and the bizarre.
