I am wondering which wait has been more frustrating/nail biting for my fellow Leeds United Fans: - Outcome of the Administration Process and whether our team would be permitted to play in the next Football League Season, or - Waiting to read about the outcome of the "long term investment" aka takeover announced by the club a few weeks ago? The suspense is killing us now but is it worse than the Admin time?
First of all, as mentioned in my last post - don't mix him up with the President of the IAA in Bahrain, Al Fawaz Al Khalifa, who is the guy who denied being a LUFC fan or to buying LUFC on Twitter. Sheikh Abdulrahman bin Mubarak Al Khalifa is the man who was mentioned and quoted in media 8-9 years ago relating to a possible takeover. See example 1 from november 2003: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/...oad-rescue.html This is the person being linked a lot of places these days, probably mostly due to the link back in 2003 rather than any leaks. I am not saying he is or isn't involved in the takeover today, just looking into who he is. Now this man is heavily sports fanatic. Football, horses, winter olympics, you name it (I'll come back to my sources for this). He is so into horse-racing that he as of last summer had an upaid bookmaker debt of £270,000 in London to Spreadex. It would surprise me if you have made nearly 1200 pages of this tread without someone mentioning this? Link to documentation on gambling debt in Telegraph, februar 2011: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/comment...-his-plate.html He then failed to pay it back on deadline a few months later, which meant he was basically "wanted" and authirities given right to seize his passport. Story here: http://abna.co/data.asp?lang=3&Id=252465 I cannot find anything on him after this, so if the debt is still unpaid I don't know. I would suppose he needs to pay it off if he's to visit Elland Road without too much problems. Authorities have been given right to [FONT=Georgia, serif]seize his passport. probably why he is in Europe cant go back home or they will knick his passport [/FONT]
