LondonHMFC Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 Mansfield looked nervy all the way through that shootout. Flitcroft will be sacked tomorrow I imagine. Two seasons on the bounce he has bottled promotion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brummie Clyde Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 So I assume Bolton will start next season with a points deduction, rather than further demotion? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WALMOT Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Sheffield United Football Club was funded by a £3million loan from Osama bin Laden's family, a court has heard. A High Court judge is currently analysing a battle for control of the club between co-owners Kevin McCabe and Prince Abdullah Bin Mosaad Bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, who is a member of the Saudi royal family. On the fourth day of the hearing a sensational revelation was read out in court, seemingly linking the newly-promoted Premier League club to relatives of the former Al Qaeda leader. It relates to an investment opportunity within the club which became known as Project Delta - a £3million loan that McCabe said would never have to be repaid. In court on Wednesday, McCabe and Abdullah argued about whether or not the money would have to be paid back, with the Saudi prince insisting it would have been paid back through sponsorship. But on Thursday, Barrister Andreas Gledhill QC, who is leading Abdullah's legal team, said McCabe "knew the money had come from another source, namely a member of the Bin Laden family," according to the Sheffield Star. The court heard of emails in which McCabe's colleague at a property business Jeremy Tutton mentions that he would hate the headline in the Sheffield Star to be "Blades launder money for extremists". Mr Tutton was also added to the board of directors at Sheffield United in 2017. McCabe dismissed this as "banter", but Mr Gledhill told the court the email confirms that the co-owner knew where the money was coming from. Mr Justice Fancourt began to oversee the trial in the High Court in London on Monday, but went into private session on Tuesday, after hearing lawyers representing rival camps outline their cases, and ordered members of the public and journalists to leave the courtroom. The judge gave no indication of what issues were being discussed behind closed doors, but said the public hearing would resume later. Mr Justice Fancourt has been told that Mr McCabe and Prince Abdullah control ownership of the club on a 50-50 basis. He has heard that 71-year-old Mr McCabe is "a wealthy Yorkshireman", and "lifelong" Sheffield United fan, and Prince Abdullah is a Saudi Prince and grandson of King Abdulaziz, the founder of modern Saudi Arabia. Mr McCabe was born in Sheffield, had long been associated with Sheffield United, who are nicknamed The Blades, and had invested about £100 million. He had met Prince Abdullah in 2013 after looking for new investors. They started working together after agreeing that Prince Abdullah would invest £10 million but "fell out" in 2017. Sheffield United Ltd, a company controlled by Mr McCabe and his family, has alleged "conspiracy" and "unfairly prejudicial conduct". UTB LLC, a company controlled by Prince Abdullah, wants declarations in respect of its rights under an investment and shareholders' agreement. The trial is due to last several weeks. Why are The Blades' co-owners in court? The two businessmen behind the running of Sheffield United are facing off in the High Court after their relationship broke down. On day one, Mr Justice Fancourt was told Mr McCabe and Prince Abdullah started to work together in 2013. The Saudi prince was first approached by Mr McCabe in 2012. By then, the Yorkshireman had reportedly sunk £70million into his local club and was looking for options to reduce the financial burden being put on him. Mr McCabe thought that Prince Abdullah was "minted", but their relationship soured when it transpired this was not the case, the court heard.The judge heard how Mr McCabe had long been associated with Sheffield United and they agreed Prince Abdullah would invest £10million. They "fell out" in 2017 and became involved in a dispute over control, the court heard. Sheffield United Ltd, a company controlled by Mr McCabe and his family, has made allegations of "conspiracy" and "unfairly prejudicial conduct" and wants damages. UTB LLC, a company controlled by Prince Abdullah, wants declarations in respect of its rights under an investment and shareholders' agreement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WALMOT Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Accountant denies knowing Blades' 'link' with bin Laden An accountant has denied knowing Sheffield United might be getting money from a Saudi businessman related to Osama bin Laden. Jeremy Tutton told a High Court judge analysing a control battle between the club's co-owners on Friday that the suggestion was "rubbish". The club's co-owners, Mr McCabe, 71, and Prince Abdullah bin Mosaad Bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, a member of the Saudi royal family, have fallen out after starting to work together six years ago. Prince Abdullah has said the person behind a £3m sum was Saleh Mohammed bin Laden. He said Mr McCabe and his associates knew that, and claims the name was mentioned at a meeting in Dubai in 2017. Mr McCabe disputes Prince Abdullah's claims. The hearing is due to last several weeks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
