Houlding made one last attempt to retain control of Everton F.C. When the Everton Committee had voted to form a limited liability company in 1891 they chose the name 'Everton Football and Athletic Grounds Company Ltd.' In January 1892 Houlding registered this name at Companies House. Mahon protested and the case went to the F.A. for arbitration. In April it stated that only one club with the name Everton could be a member of the F.A. and that was the current one.
