Glasgow_Saint Posted 22 June, 2009 Share Posted 22 June, 2009 http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/2493080/Sheikh-buys-60-per-cent-stake.html SHOCK claims emerged from the Middle East last night that an Arab Sheikh has bought a 60 per cent stake in a top English club. Sheikh Ahmed bin Saqr al-Qassimi — a member of a ruling family in the United Arab Emirates — is said to have snapped up the holding in an unnamed club and will be honorary chairman. City insiders were last night sceptical over the report from the UAE’s official news agency, which said further details would be announced this week. Portsmouth and relegated Newcastle are among top English clubs currently up for sale, while Birmingham owners David Gold and David Sullivan have tried to sell the club in the past.

Pilchards Posted 22 June, 2009 Share Posted 22 June, 2009 Glad it's not us as I wanted a chairman that knows the passion of the fans and not the passion of money! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
