Blades ownership update

Recommended Posts

I thought McCabe only spent a small amount of time in the UK each year. I also believe he is a Blade.

That's unreal really. Fancy owning a football club and supporting someone else. Each to their own I suppose. I always thought he supported utd though.

 

Nobody said he supported Manchester United. He's a property developer. If he has a box at Old Trafford it's probably for entertaining clients that might not be quite as impressed with a trip to the lane and championship football.

Jim, what about Leppings Lane ? There is a chip shop on there and some sort of Championship football within the vicinity.

I can't see McCabe giving up his box at Old Trafford to meet clients there.

(No, it's a not a football-themed thread)

 

BBC News today reports https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leeds-44768207 the complex proceedings at Court. It seems that:

a. Kevin McCabe and family own Sheffield United Ltd (SUL);

b. Prince Abdullah owns UTB LLC;

c. SUL and UTB each own 50% of Blades Leisure Ltd (BLL):

d. BLL owns The Sheffield United Football Club Ltd (SUFC); and

e. UTB invested £10m in SUFC when buying 50% of BLL.

 

But the two principals have fallen-out: hence the proceedings. It's all bad publicity, isn't it.

It's bad for the club because neither side will spend money on players until it's sorted out, without investment in the team there is a possibility of relegation.

 

How long Wilder is willing to sit by without support or spending money is another pertinent question.

What a tangled mess.
