He remained on the club's board as a director for just three months, and was voted off by the other directors after it transpired that he was unable to repay any of the money he had borrowed from other individuals in order to honour the affidavit.

In 1994, Trethewy was convicted of fraud over unpaid hotel bills and sentenced to two years in prison.cite web|url=http://www.thenonleaguefootballpaper.com/article.asp?aid=580&iid=45&sud=478|title=Spencer Making Amends|author=NLP Staff|publisher=The Non-League Paper|date=2007-10-28|accessdate=2008-07-29]
